Weebill 3 vs Scorp 2: Which Gimbal Should You Choose?
When choosing a compact gimbal for mirrorless or DSLR setups, two models often come up: Zhiyun Weebill 3 and FeiyuTech Scorp 2. Both are small but mighty tools designed for solo creators, vloggers, and event filmmakers. But which one actually makes more sense for your setup?
Let’s break it down.
🏋️♂️ Weight & Payload
- Weebill 3: 1.1 kg | Payload up to 3.3 kg
- Scorp 2: 1.2 kg | Payload up to 2.5 kg
👉 If you’re planning to use heavier cameras and lenses (like full-frame setups with external mics or lights), Weebill 3 gives you more headroom. Despite being slightly lighter than the Scorp 2, it supports significantly more weight.
🔋 Battery Life & Charging
- Weebill 3: Up to 21 hours | 2h charging (PD fast charge)
- Scorp 2: Up to 13 hours | 1.5h charging (18W Quick Charge)
👉 Weebill 3 takes the lead in battery life — ideal for long shoots without worrying about power. The Scorp 2 charges faster, but you’ll need to recharge more often.
🎮 Ergonomics & Controls
- Weebill 3:
- Built-in sling grip
- Customizable trigger and wheel
- Bright screen (non-touch)
- Well-balanced button layout
- Scorp 2:
- Rear handle with curved design
- Touchscreen interface + knob control
- More accidental button presses in practice
👉 Scorp 2 looks futuristic with its touch display, but Weebill 3 is more ergonomic in day-to-day use. Its integrated sling grip makes low-angle shots more comfortable.
🎥 Stabilization
In practical use:
- Weebill 3 is more stable at longer focal lengths and smoother during walking or running shots.
- Scorp 2 can feel overly sensitive out of the box and may require tweaking motor strength to avoid micro-jitters.
👉 If you want something that “just works” without much tuning, Weebill 3 is more forgiving, especially for handheld walk-and-talk shots.
⚙️ Accessories & Ecosystem
- Weebill 3 supports:
- Built-in microphone and light (Pro version)
- TransMount ecosystem (image transmission, focus motors)
- Scorp 2 supports:
- Follow Focus module
- Smartphone mounting
👉 Both can be expanded, but Weebill 3 has a more mature ecosystem — especially valuable if you’re growing your gear kit.
📱 App & Software
- Zhiyun app: Functional, but sometimes clunky
- FeiyuTech app: Clean and more responsive
👉 Scorp 2 wins here. Feiyu’s app is more intuitive and easier to connect to.
🎯 Final Verdict

If you want reliability, long battery life, and strong performance straight out of the box, go for the Weebill 3. It’s the more mature product.
But if you’re after modern controls, a better app, and a futuristic design — and you don’t mind tweaking settings — Scorp 2 might be the more fun and tech-forward choice.
