MOZA MINI-S Essential Foldable Gimbal Stabilizer for Smartphone Timelapse Object Tracking Zoom Vertigo Inception 3-Axis Video Stabilizer for iPhone…

I bought this as well as a DJI Osmo Mobile 2. After a week of testing, I found both to be comparable in terms of smoothing my videos using my iPhone XS, which was the main reason for this. Here’s my thoughts compared to the DJI Osmo Mobile 2. As you can see, the CONS are much higher with the DJI, and when I factored in the PROS of the Moza, I find it a better gimbal overall.

MOZA Mini-S
Pro:
1. Trigger – made switching between the various modes a breeze. This was the main reason I kept to Moza.
2. Portability – packs a bit smaller than the DJI.
3. Could charge my phone while using. I can’t figure out how to do it with the gimbal, but I could just put a battery charger in my pocket and snake out a cord up to the phone and it’d work fine.
4. Accessories – comes with a little cloth case, as well as a tripod

Con:
1. Motion tracking sucks unless using for selfies. This is probably more of a software issue than hardware issue though, so this barely makes the con list. Either way, it cannot be relied upon. This isn’t really an issue for me as I don’t plan on using this feature.
2. Range of motion compared to the DJI is slightly worse.
3. Phone holder brackets that extend out are plastic, where DJI’s are metal.

DJI Osmo Mobile 2
Pro:
1. Better software
2. Phone holder bracket that extend out are metal.
3. Lighter than Moza, but only ever so slightly.
4. More range of motion, but only ever so slightly.

Con:
1. More expensive
2. Have to buy more accessories
3. Stabilization no better than the cheaper Moza.
4. More bulky
5. Build quality not much better than Moza.
6. Cannot charge my phone while using
7. If phones continue to grow larger, I’m worried that it may not fit. It’s a snug-fit with my wife’s iPhone 8 Plus.
8. No trigger
9. Cannot see the LED to know what mode it is in when shooting in sunlight. I frequently had to tilt the gimbal up to know if it was in a tripod setting or not, which didn’t look good in my footage.
10. Have to flip a digital switch located within a menu to lock the up and down movement, but not the side-to-side movement. This is all super-simple to do in the Moza with the trigger.

 Gli stabilizzatori in genere per quanto sofisticati e tecnologicamente avanzati, hanno purtroppo un prezzo eccessivo che spesso ne limita l’acquisto.
Invece, devo dire che questo gimbal MOZA MINI-S, nonostante il prezzo assolutamente abbordabile, risulta un ottimo prodotto sia dal punto di vista dei materiali, robusti e resistenti, sia dal punto di vista tecnico: la stabilizzazione è qualitativamente perfetta, non appena collegato lo smartphone mediante apposito cavetto AUX o bluetooth (app del produttore scaricabile gratuitamente dal Play Store/Apple Store) si può notare come il gimbal assecondi tutti i nostri movimenti, riducendo notevolmente l’effetto “shaky” che si avrebbe in sua assenza.
Niente a che vedere con la stabilizzazione elettronica automatica presente nei software delle fotocamere della maggior parte degli smartphone!

Passando ai contenuti della confezione (come si può vedere dalle fotografie allegate):
– Stabilizzatore, che si presenta in una forma compatta, in quanto richiudibile mediante due facili mosse;
– Treppiede di supporto, nel caso si voglia utilizzare il gimbal appoggiato su una superficie piana;
– Cavo di alimentazione dello stabilizzatore;
– Cavo AUX, per connettere lo smartphone allo stabilizzatore;
– Comoda bag, nella quale riporre lo stabilizzatore.

Concludendo: rapporto qualità prezzo imbattibile, caratteristiche tecniche al pari di prodotti di fascia superiore. Raccomando assolutamente l’acquisto.

Spero che questa recensione possa esservi utile nell’acquisto di questo ottimo prodotto.

 I have tolerated shaky footage in the past or tried software solutions to balance out my videos with varying degrees of success.
What has put me off stabilizers in the past has been either the expense of the initial purchase or the size of the item.
It seems that with the Mini S there is now a happy balance.
Firstly the size is no longer an issue as it folds in half and gets packed away in a nice drawstring bag.
This is a bonus as it slips nicely inside the bag I carry my camera and accessories around in.
Even when its fully set up its not overly massive and looks no more out of place than a selfie stick.
Secondly the price – stabilizers have dropped to well below the £100 mark making them much more tempting.
The results speak for themselves, although the finished video does really depend on the quality of your phone – my sample video included shows me following my daughter on foot while she cycles.
The Mini S performed incredibly well and the result was a world apart from handheld footage!
You can use the Moza Genie app to record videos and get all the included features like calibration and tracking, or you can attach the phone and just use your own recording package.
One very positive aspect of this gimbal is that you can just place the phone in the cradle and it set balances itself when powered on.
This saves a load of time and effort as the gimbal self adjusts without trial and error.
If its not balanced correctly it will switch off, but you will spot this and make the necessary adjustments.
Control is incredibly simple for most users – literally just power up and start recording or you can make manual adjustments using the d-pad and joystick.
A handy double tap on the trigger set at the front of the handle restores the phone to its default location.
For the casual video shooter this is a great intro to gimbals and it gives results that are far superior to standard handheld footage.

 I have been looking at several gimbals lately for my iPhone 11 and came across several brands such as the Zhiyun Smooth 4 and DJI Osmo. This gimbal from Moza seems to be priced well and it comes with a hard-shell case, cleaning cloth, manual, USB charging cable, and tripod attachment (this one is what I like the most!). The Moza Gimbal MINI ME works well and it has great features such as inception mode—make sure you use the joystick to spin the movement, it’s quite cool. The Moza Genie app also works well with this device so make sure to download it. Last but not the least, the wireless charging is the feature I consider the best because not many gimbal has this feature so this is a big plus.
