 Endless Energy Empowered by the newly optimized high torque motors and the new generation FOC technology, Moza Air 2 is capable of handling most DSLRs, mirrorless cameras and pocket cinema cameras weighing up to 9 lbs (4.2kg), allowing you the freedom to choose from a wider range of camera and lens combinations and accessories. Four high-rate Li-ion 18650 replaceable batteries give the Moza Air 2 a maximum runtime of 16 hours. You can easily bring extra batteries with you to last through a whole day of filming. Moza SPARK Power Supply System The new Moza SPARK power supply system offers 4 accessory ports that can power the camera and film accessories like an electronic follow focus, LED light and a monitor. A key part of the Moza SPARK power supply system is the Battery Management System (BMS). The BMS will optimize the power consumption of the Moza Air 2 and accessories. By using BMS the Moza Air 2 is able to increase overall battery life. Smart Time-lapse The Moza Air 2 features a comprehensively upgraded user interface and hardware controlled time-lapse system that can control cameras manufactured from Sony, Canon and Nikon. Use the Moza App to create professional motion time-lapses such as a tracking time-lapse, a zoom time-lapse and 18 other types of motion time-lapse. With Moza Air 2 feel inspired to capture the wonder. 4-Axis and 8 Follow Modes The 4th axis of the Moza Air 2 is the Moza Follow Focus offering lens focus and zoom control. From the Moza Air 2's handle simply rotate the smart wheel to make fine or quick adjustments to lens focus or zoom. With 8 follow modes like Inception Mode, FPV, Sport Gear Mode, Panorama and Tracking there is no limit to your creativity. Auto-tuning for Optimal Performance The efficient AI calculation system enables the Moza App to select the optimal parameters based on the total weight on your gimbal, reducing the inconvenience of readjusting. One-step Balancing The Moza Air 2 quick release system accepts Manfrotto quick release plates and offers one-step balancing by way of a built in hard stop. This hard stop ensures the camera is always aligned to the same spot. Eliminating the frustration of having to hunt for the correct center of gravity. The gimbal's three arms are clearly marked with a ruler to help speed up balancing and to provide user reference points for the position of each gimbal arm. With one-step balancing and Manfrotto compatibility there is no need to rebalance the gimbal. Lock the camera into the gimbal and get filming with the Moza Air 2. Compact Design The Moza Air 2 features an angled motor arm, which gives you an unobstructed view of the camera's screen and more room to balance camera setups. This makes it easier to frame your shots and follow the action. The Moza Air 2 handle has 12 physical buttons that provide fast access to camera functions such as recording, zoom, focus, ISO, shutter, aperture, exposure compensation and WB. Intuitive controls An intelligent OLED display provides intuitive information feedback, accurately indicates the gimbal status and helps adjust the gimbal and camera parameters. The Joystick, smart wheel and smart trigger of Moza Air 2 can be customized to the users tastes. Up to five different user control profiles can be stored and recalled. More Expansion Possibilities The 1/4" screw holes at the bottom and back of the handgrip offer expansions for your device. The gimbal can be mounted to a tripod, slider, jib, crane or anything else with universal connection. Moza Ecosystem Moza Air 2 includes a newly designed versatile and adaptable modular ecosystem to allow filmmakers to operate in whatever way is most productive for them. This means you can use Moza thumb controller, iFocus, camera cage, camera backpack, dual handle to distribute control of gimbal pointing, FIZ and camera controls in whatever way makes sense for your shot. iFocus (Intelligent Wireless Lens Control Systems) When combining the iFocus with the Air 2, the following functions are available: Auto focus shifting You can preset the focus and focus shift duration from the starting point to the ending point and the follow focus system will automatically shift focus according to the set parameters while the photographer operates the gimbal.

Is more fiddly than I would have liked. I bought it to fly my stripped down FS5 but the camera was a tad too big (viewfinder hot in the way) which made it almost impossible to balance.

Only good for smaller cameras

My son had me order this product. He loves it!

Loves it!

Great gimbal, this thing has saved my life on multiple shoots

Love this thing

I love this thing. The only thing is that you need to make sure you have the right camera to use with it.

Great gimbal

Purchased this gimbal specifically for my C70 kit. The Ronin-S is capable of handling the C70 but requires an additional clamp and counter weight. I like the speed of setting up AND not adding additional weight to what is already a "heavier" set up. The down side I have had is the cable running from the gimbal to the camera. The USB port on the gimbal is extremely loose and prone to loose connection. When reconnecting it will occasionally lock up the camera forcing a battery removal restart. For the price and features this is a decent piece of equipment.

Good pairing for the C70

I got this for my Nikon Z6 which it is on the compatible list but I out of all the camera control cables they didn?t have one to usb-c. I ended up buying a little adapter. Once I got it dialed in(it took me awhile the first time), it works perfectly. I spent hours toying around with it and is extremely fun to use. The case it comes in is great too.

Awesome

Great product! I would definitely recommend!

Love the Moza Air 2

I have had this gimbal for about 4 months now and it has been nothing but HEADACHES for me the gimbal randomly shuts off even with fully charged batteries. It also drift left or right when its on the tripod mount on a flat surface. I highly don't recommend getting this gimbal I suggest going else where.

HEADACHE

We attempted to use this on a few campaigns but sadly feel like it was money wasted. 
We shoot with Black Magic Pocket 4K which is well below the rated weight limit for this device but it would crash continually, change to all Chinese (Mandarin?) characters or Just turn off. This cost us WAY too much time on set problem solving and instead switched to the DJI Ronin-M 3-Axis and have had no problems since then. In my opinion this is a low quality product with a lot of gold plating. Your money is better spend on a higher quality product like the Ronin with less bells and whistles like Inception mode! wow!
Unfortunately all we can do now is exchange it with Moza so it's money wasted.

Low Quality, Failed on set numerous times

The Moza Air is an excellent piece of equipment that has made my life easier. The follow focus is great, especially if you have a BMPCC 4K or 6K!

Awesome Device!

Product is very god quality and good material. Not sure fo eheavy cameras like BMCC or RED but perfect for DSLR cameras

Perfect for DSLR

Moza Air is very good quality product, only thing is a bit confusing to calibrate, some heavy cameras like BMCC might be difficult to calibrate, other than that its good to use with DSLR cameras. I recommend it.

Good material

I got this for my Black magic pocket cinema camera 4k, and I'm happy it did - I don't have to rely on LP-E6 batteries as much, since I can use the moza spark tech, and the gimbal can handle what I load on the camera. Make sure to pick up either an offset plate or a cage for the camera though, otherwise you won't be able to mount it.

Great for my Bmpcc4k

Some nice new features for a reasonable price but poor support.
Mine came prepackaged with a wireless motorized follow focus system which is an add on with the Ronin S.
I really like the mounting system which allows me to switch between tripod, slider and gimbal using a Manfrotto 501 compatible QR plate. The way it fastens to the gimbal means that I don't need to rebalance the camera if I take it off and put it back on again.
The pan axis locks to keep it from flopping around when not in use but the tilt and yaw axes do not.

Good for the price but a few niggling little details missed

Does not come with a hard shell case like the Zhiyun Crane does.  Gimbals need to be stored in clean dry cases while it is being kept or transported.  You have to buy the case separately and it is not cheap.

Does not come with case

Works exactly how adversitied. Had to problem handling BMPCC 6k.  
Balancing took some practice. But works perfect!

Moza + BMPCC 6k = magic

The gimbal is sturdy and works as should.  It can hold an impressive payload which is great for bigger cameras.  It's a bit larger than other gimbals but the size is necessary for the performance.  Overall impressed with the product

Work horse gimbal

It was a great choice to buy this product at Adorama, there was no tax and got it for nice deal. Loving the product.

Nice product

Received a follow focus motor with the Moza Air 2. Great combo. Gimbal has been perfect.

More bang for the buck

Quite a powerful gimbal that gets the basics right when it comes to normal use. Sadly there are things that were promised a year ago that still aren't available like panorama or object tracking modes. Also can't program stepless motion which would be great for product videography. Also they've had a couple firmware updates that have gone quite awry. 

Still it has a high payload, easy to adjust settings on the fly, and is quite smooth. Just wish it didn't feel like a beta product sometimes.

Good in normal use, still incomplete software

Very good

This gimbal is nice. Smooth operation & holds my P4K WITH the cage. I like that it has power outputs on the gimbal to power my camera. I appriciate the follow focus wheel although I wish it was detachable. It came with a free MOZA M follow focus which is awesome. One quirk about it though, if you want to use the Bluetooth app with the gimbal, you can’t have the follow focus connected first. You have to connect the app BEFORE you connect the follow focus or else the app won’t connect. Maybe firmware can’t fix this. Also, if you power off the gimbal, you have to set your focus start and end point again(bummer). So you may just want to kill the motors instead of powering down the whole gimbal. Overall great value at $550-$600.

Very nice with a few quirks though.

I’m using the Moza Air 2 with a BMPCC4K and a Canon 5DS. It does a great job at stabilization with both, though you can’t control any camera functions on the BlackMagic. Hopefully that will be addressed in a future firmware update allowing the Moza to control it via Bluetooth. The optional follow focus motor is highly recommended and works extremely well. The killer feature for BMPCC users is how well this gimbal powers that camera via the 16.8V port. In real world use, I’m getting about 2 hours of shooting with the Moza powering the BMPCC4K, and the focus motor. If you’re not powering the camera, that goes up to about 14 hours. Be aware that there are two revisions of this product—the latest is outfitted with a 16.8V output port, and the older version has a 12V port. The older version won’t work powering the BlackMagic. All that aside, the primary function—stabilization—is on par with anything at this price point.

The Air 2 can’t be beat at this price point

Don't waste your time watching Moza's "official" videos about how to set up this gimbal. The best video by far is titled "Nikon Z6 Filmmaker’s Kit Tutorial" by Pictureline pon youtube. They explain patiently and better than anybody I've seen. Also if you try to call Moza's helpline you'll get a "this voicemail box is full" message. If you send them an email, you get back a response in broken English in two days. The follow-up question will not be answered. So it's a good product, once you set it up, but I don't see how this company can hold their warranty part of the agreement. Pray that your piece won't break.

Great product, non-existent support

Honestly a bit of a pain to set up for the first time and quite time consuming. Plus the quick lock where the batteries go is quite rough to open when the batteries are inside. I needed a coin to leverage and get it to open. when the batteries aren’t in there, it works real easily. Besides that, best gimbal/image stabilizer i’ve ever used. It really does hold the weight unlike others, and you can add other things and when you have awkward angles, it does the job right. It was worth the money. My previous one was ($) a few years back and this is way better. Once you get it running, it’s worth it and it lasts for a long time. I’m very happy with it. If you get the follow focus, my only downside to it is that I wish the attachment connection that allows the follow focus to attach to it would be on the gimbal and not the quick release cuz it prevents the quick release from working on manfrotto gear with it on, which is a bummer. hate switching quick releases.

Near perfect, worth the money!

Works great, but needs way better instructions. Garbage support.
