While it worked, it was great. Sadly, after a short period of not using the gimbal, the battery stopped charging beyond 50%. It didn't matter if it was left on the charger over night, for a few days, etc. I contacted Moza support and they told me basically, "sorry, hope it's inside one year warranty" and "batteries are no longer sold" - so I'm left with a $400 paperweight, e-waste and unused scrap metal. Really disappointed in Moza that they don't stand behind their product in ANY way - whether service or at least offering replacement parts for sale. Who doesn't sell a battery for one of their recent products?

Its almost perfect if your setup is very lightweight. But when it becomes some heavier, it possibly may struggle some difficulties.

Unit works well, but the Air Cross 2 - unit was withdrawn and no way to purchase a replacement battery. Left stranded.

I got the professional kit (Gimbal + iFocus M + other thingies). The gimbal? works great. balanced well. Worked well. Looks beautiful too. The iFocus M? Trash. I'm gonna say this in a few words because I've typed this out so many times: iFocus M does not connect to the Aircross 2 after you do firmware update. Yes, I did it properly. Yes, I tried with two computers. Yes, I tried with my smartphone. Yes, I tried it EXACTLY as their guide says. It. Did. Not. Connect. it frustrated the crap out of me because I tried everything under the sun. So I refunded it. Got Zhiyun Weebil S, got the follow focus motor, and it worked right out of the box. So, yeah, take it from me: Your gimbal will probably work well. Your iFocus M might just work too. Just know that if your iFocus M does not connect to your AirCross 2, good luck. I literally told their support "I have tried your guides exactly as they appear on your official documents, the iFocus M does not connect to the AirCross 2." Their response? "Pls try to update firmware like in this document" that I had already seen before a million times. Sorry Moza, I'm done with you lol.

Great product, excellent price. I’ve been using it with my BMCC 4K, and I can tell it’s at the threshold of size/weight but it does comfortably handle it, so long as the lens isn’t a giant. Check out the oodles of review videos for this and other gimbals if you need more details. Do pay attention to the distinction between the Moza AirCross 2 (this product) and the Moza Air 2, which is very similar but different. What stands out is the user interface and total customization of the controls. Very easy to get very specific. The iFocus M works well with bigger-depth-of-field lenses, as you have just under 1 full rotation of your focus ring to work with, unless it’s a cine lens. The gimbal was ready to use out of the box, but the iFocus M required using the Moza App to update the software on both the gimbal and the iFocus M before they would cooperate with each other.

It’s the perfect gimball, easy to use easy to set up, just buy it!

I did quite a bit of research trying to decide with gimbal to purchase. I'm shooting with a Nikon Z6, with the adapter and an older 24mm-70mm lens that is heavy and not all of the lighter weight gimbals will handle the load of this body and lens combination. I have never used a gimbal before and after about of week of trail and error, I have to say I'm getting a good understanding of how to make this gimbal work for me. A couple of things, the paper manual that comes along with it need a lot of improvement. They are not real useful past some basic information in my opinion. The video tutorials that Moza has for this gimbal are probably a better starting point IMO. It took me quite a while to figure out how to balance my camera and lens. I can now get any lens combination balanced in just a few minutes or less now. I started out using a smaller and lighter 50mm lens to learn on. Everytime I set my rig up I would autotune and check the balance on the gimbal. I was getting good results when the gimbal was fully locked, but was having troubles panning and following. Even after trying many different combinations of power or level settings on pan, tilt and row. I finally put on my heavy 20mm to 70mm and was getting great results. After switching back to my lighter lens, I adjusted the pan motor strength after autotuning and that's helped tremendously. So, what I've learned is the autotuning settings are not always spot on. I've got mine set up where I can control the aperature, iso and shutter speed from the control wheel. That works quite slick. I'm still deciding if it's easier to start and stop recording from the camera or from the gimbal. Third, it will take a lot of practice to start getting some real good useable footage, so don't get discouraged if you're new to gimbals. I had a few days where I thought I might just end up returning this, and after taking the time to do some discovery and figure out how it works I think this will end up being a really good gimbal.
