MOZA Aircross S All-in-One 3-Axis Handheld Gimbal Stabilizer for Mirrorless/Action Cameras/Smartphones up to 1.8kg/4lb Payload with Advanced Shooting Modes

The Moza Mini-P gimball comes with a nice molded case which has compartments to safely store all the components and carry it.After the phone or the camera has been mounted to the Gimball using the L bracket, the adjustment needs to be made to maintain balance on the two arms with the circular Moza labels. I made adjustments to the first arm that stays vertical during Gimball powered operation. Then I adjusted for the camera mounting arm holding the camera last. This last step is easy since all you have to do is ensure that the mount point is at the highest point of the small side of the L bracket. This ensure that most of the weight is at the bottom of the bracket to ensure that it will always stay perfectly vertical.There is a black grooved slide button near the front to lock it into either folded mode for storage or unlock it to extend it for normal operation.Most likely one will need to upgrade the firmware of the Gimball as follows (on page 9 of the English section):1. when the Gimball is powered off, hold down the center black button (with the camera icon), then press the power button to turn on the Gimball.2. Start the Moza master app. Press the bluetooth icon to connect phone to the Gimball. when the firmware upgrade is finished, press the Finish button.3. Turn off power, then turn it back on.I suggest to holding the vertical axis arm closest to the Gimball in the normal stabilized position before powering up the Mini-P and during the power down.After turning on the Mini-P Gimball, it must be paired initially to the camera or smart phone to be operated with.When in the Genii app, initially the blue bluetooth icon will flash. You can press this bluetooth icon to establish bluetooth connection. Click on the Moza-mini-p-p0530 "connection" word to connect phone to the Mini-P.The joy stick on the mini-p controls the positioning of the camera. The left to right position can be adjusted by moving the joystick left to right, and up and down position can be adjusted by pressing the joystick up or down as needed.Within the Genii app you can use the W-T buttons on the side (T to zoom in, W to zoom out) to control the amount of zoom.Below the joystick, there is a black center button with the gray circle around it. Use these buttons to control the action with the Genii app to control the camera action:- the center button takes picture- the right button allows browsing the pictures already taken. The up and down buttons of the gray circle buttons can be used to go through the pictures. The other buttons didn't work for me for the phone I had paired to the Gimball.The two semi-circular arrows switches between front and back camera being the active one.The three circles icon activates various enhancements availableThe square icon on the bottom right switches between pro and auto mode of the Genii app.You can click on the area of the picture to let camera use for focus.The three dot icon brings up camera setting menu, which can change:for the video shooting mode, you can turn on anti-shake, spirit level, and whether location info is recorded.Press the three dot icon to exit setting mode.During the operation, the Gimball works smoothly to maintain the camera's configured orientation. You can use the joy stick control to change the camera orientation during operation, left/right and up or down facing.The Gimball operates smoothly and it allows making videos without jerky movement while walking with the Gimball. This allows one to make video with smooth movements, rather than the jerky ones that would result without the Gimball.The Gimball has several locks designed to protect it while it is stored inside the well made molded case. It is made of durable material so it should last a long time and it is well balanced so that it is easy to use.

Bought this in the hopes that I could start recording some of the antics that my cats get up to. Having camera/video controls in your hand on a steady gimbal is fantastic. The facial recognition even works on cats!! Smooth panning and being able to have a steady picture make life good!! Love it.

This review is for the Mini P Max version of this (most of the reviews are for the Mini P version). I bought the Max version for my iPhone and Sony A7r and honestly, I don't think the Max is really for your iPhone despite saying it can be used for it (I have a 13 pro with a rather big cover for it). I love how simple it is to balance the whole thing but does feel like if you're planning to mostly use your iPhone then this is overkill. I think it was struggling with the phone being almost too like and some of the panning motion got a bit lost.I had the exact opposite problem with Zhiyun Q4 where my simple iPhone set up was too heavy for it. So keep that in mind.The good thing is if you plan to use this with your full-frame Sony camera this works extremely well. It has the most epic range of motion, I can basically do a 360 with the darn thing, it's fabulous. Seeing as there's not a tone of reviews and youtube videos on the Max specifically for Iphone use I wanted to leave this here if this would help anyone.I recommend trying the Moza Mini P first and see how that goes which is what I'm in the process of doing now.This could maybe work is your phone is larger than the usual Iphone 13 pro or you have a tone of attachments for it to give it more weight. There is something else to think about. If you're not using a heavy camera, the balance knobs can't be folded back down nicely and lay flat. So basically, if you don't want to re-balance your mobile phone for every use, it's not going to fold well for storage. If you want to to lay flat and fold away nicely, then you'll have to re-balance the thing everytime you take it out.The larger camera keeps the balancing knobs more in the center so it will fold up normally for transport.So again, the take away. If you plan to mostly use your larger camera with subsidizing some iPhone usage here and there, get the Max version. If you plan on mostly using your iPhone and subsidizing camera usage here and there, the get the Mini P version.

二台目のジンバルです。一台目はFeiyuTech SCORP C を購入しましたが、カメラよりもQooCamやスマホをセットする方が多いので、より軽量でcompactな本機を購入しました。アプリも使いやすく、バランス調整も問題無し、使い勝手は良かったです。

The media could not be loaded.  届いてすぐに動作確認をした際は、質感も良く軽くて使いやすい！と好印象でした。しかし、アプリからバージョンアップを促され更新すると…起動後のスマホセットが出来なくなり、スマホをぶん投げられる仕様となりました。毎回、動画のようになります。動画の後に手動でセットし直しますが、手動セットも一度にスマホを掴まない為2〜3回やり直します。Bluetooth接続も微妙になりました。接続しているのに、新たにペアリングしようとして使用不可になったり…Bluetoothは接続出来なくなるとペアリング解除して設定し直すのが早いです。更新前はケースを付けたままでも大丈夫だったし、Bluetoothは全く問題無かったのに…追記 11/12→動画を確認の上、こちらの不満を受け取り、メーカーへの連絡も迅速に行ってくれました。今回は返金処理と言うことになりましたが、クレームも真摯に受け止め、返金処理も迅速に対応頂き、とても信頼のおける販売店だと思いました。

並行輸入品です。1年保証を受けたい方は、ケンコー・トキナーかMOZAの正規品を買われた方が良いです。自動開閉してバランスを取ってくれるのはとても便利なのですが、423gもあり非常に重いです。Hohem isteadyが259g、Dji OM6が309gなので、スマホを取り付けた時にどの位の重さになるのか考えて購入を検討された方が良いと思います。

日本語説明書が入っていませんでした。

基本的に、コスパ良好です。センサー1インチの小型ミラーレス・コンデジなら、いい感じで使えます。・Nikon 1で、30-110mm(換算80-300mm)は、手ブレを良好に抑えられました。バランス取った後に、多少ズームをいじっても、使えます。・Canon G7Xも、バランス取った後で、ズーム変えてもOKセンサーサイズがAPS-Cまでくると、焦点距離は固定がいいと思います。一眼レフでも、一応使えました。・Canon EOS 8000D、EF35mm F2 IS USMで使えました。ただし、一眼レフ自体の本体の左右の重さのバランスがあまり均等ではなく、ジンバルのブラケットの範囲ギリギリでの調整になりました。・Canon EOS M5、EF-M 22mm F2は、特にバランス問題なし。ジンバルのバランスは、この製品に限りませんが、Youtube等の動画サイトで見ないと分かりにくいと思います。バランスのシビアさなどを学ぶことを含めて、この製品がジンバルデビュースタートでいいように思います。以下が気になりました。①モード切り替えが、音でしか判断できない②音を切れない(？)他にも撮影している人がいると思うと、音を出したくないです。ジンバル自体は、電源入れっぱなしでもある程度電池は持ちます。しかし、カメラ側の電池が切れると、カメラを取り外して電池交換からになります。すると、ジンバルの電源のオン・オフ、モード切り替えが必要で、その時音が鳴ります。音無しでオンオフ、音ではなくLEDのインジゲーター等でモード判別をしたいです。娘の新体操の発表会で、暗い上に動きがあり、望遠が必要、ルールで三脚・一脚禁止、という撮影者泣かせの状況になりました。この製品に、Nikon 1と30-110mmレンズで、トータル2時間くらいの撮影を、乗り切れました。
