Great video Sean!! Thanks for the clear info as usual!! :)

[@RobertWitham]

That is cool that it folds down so small. I just picked up a MOZA Mini Mi this winter after seeing a video you did about it. The Mini Mi isn’t something I use every day, but it has definitely improved my b-roll now that I am getting the hang of it. I really like it for those times when I am hand shooting and want smooth footage like for pans, etc.

[@rajivdadke5591]

Moza Mini Mi & S are the greatest gimbals. I also remember the last gimbals you reviewed with Eddie!

[@HIROTOLLIVER]

I don't have a Gimbal but will most definitely get this for the price its a must have

fabulous!

Don’t use one yet but desperately need one. At this price point it will definitely be on my shopping list 👍

I don’t have a gimbal but I know I need this one. The built in tripod is perfect and the price point is even better.

I have been working so hard to get the affordable gimbal for my phone, so as i can transform my video. I would like to ask if the mini s can work with samsung j7 pro?

[@Yslatl]

Nice video bro keep uploading You have quality videos 👍👇

[@NickP]

I am in the market for one now.. Thanks for the update.

[@RockCandyBoudoir]

Does it work with filmic pro? Is their software pretty robust? Is it compatible with aftermarket lenses like moment? Your content is 🔥 keep it up ✝️

[@GavinLon]

Thanks Sean. I've been looking for something like this. I also like the price.

[@the_activefoodie]

I really would love to get this! Thanks for this because I hadn't heard of this before! Hopefully it's not too overpriced here in Canada!

[@_ZYELYNE_]

Do you have any suggestions for a inexpensive DSLR Gimbal? ... I don't want to spend as much on a gimbal as I did on my phone but it seems most are quite expensive!

[@victorfrossard6038]

what is your budget?

[@chakkaravarthim1849]

Super bro

[@Loveofpets]

I don't have one but want one after seeing this video 😁

[@Drostvideo]

I currently use the DJ Osmo 2 gimbal..how does this one compare?

[@valerioboccaccini4390]

isitebuild you can not use FilmicPro with Moza... I mean: you can use it but you can not use the gimbal controls to control the app. and the Moza app is nice but not good.

[@lour7299]

Valerio Boccaccini how about if you used wired connection?, wait... newer iphone does not have the speaker jack anymore.....

[@alanseetwo9982]

I’m looking for my first gimbal suitable for travelling light. After watching your video, I’m convinced by your review and I have just placed an order for one. Thanks for the recommendation.

[@SonyEnthusiast]

[@shantitv3551]

I’m sold. Better than my las gimbal stabilizer

[@StuffMomsHaveTimeFor]

I have the osmo mobile Gimbel and I absolutely love it. But it is cool how this one is compact. I use mine for family footage and traveling

[@heyseun5038]

Stuff Moms Have Time For what size phone do you use with it? Wondering if I could use the osmo with plus size smartphones such as an Iphone plus or XS MAX

[@StuffMomsHaveTimeFor]

@@heyseun5038 I definitely think it will hold larger phones. I have a pixel 3 from Google. But it is adjustable and can open wider.

[@TheMrsroy]

Ok Sean, what do you think of this one VS the smooth 4? I have the smooth 4, but this one seems to be easier to use. I especially like the fact that you can quickly move from landscape to portrait. The smooth 4 seems very sensitive. But I wonder if it is more intuitive? Thoughts?

[@theoldcameraguy]

I don't have a gimbal yet. I use a Canon G5X camera for my content, but this gimbal would be a great companion for my iPhone for on the fly footage in the field. Thanks for this review!

[@SonyEnthusiast]

[@elaineanderson4891]

I just brought a Smile Gimbal. It should be here in a few days.

[@TimHief]

I purchased a used Smooth Q for 70$...Canadian! It only had a few hours on it, less than 12 I'm told. It works like it is new and has the most recent firmware updates too. I plan on using it with ZY Play and with Filmic Pro, depending on the specific situation of course. I'm comfortable living with this gimbal for awhile since it's a first investment in this kind of tech for me. I'm sure I can sell it for what I purchased it for even in another six months or more.

[@PalmBeachesPaul]

I use the the DJI Osmo 2 but I might have to get this as a back up..The inception mode is sick

[@nilssmith-yt]

Crazy at the price point!

[@ThinkMediaTV]

Right!? Moza looking to take over the budget market with this one!

[@CorNR]

I don’t have a gimbal yet but this one looks pretty good to snatch soon! 🔥

[@wondrlush]

Can you use with filmic pro would recommend over DJI osmo 2

[@kumdorosario7256]

if have the money which to purchase? Mini S or Mini MI? Mainly to vblog . Thanks!

[@rayrodriguez3135]

My wife and I do everything together. I need to convence her I need this... lol

[@AcEFilmsStudio755]

hay I found the Extension pole for $28.90 that's a must need for this and Moza as them for Android to ,,, Game changer

[@FishVisionsMedia]

I actually have been thinking of buying one for smartphones. One for my dslr is to expensive, so I was thinking of using my dads iPhone X, and filming cinematic vids and broll for my videos on the smartphone.

[@FromtheHobbitHole]

Snoppa Atom is what we recently started using. Very similar with the folding design and ability to charge the phone while it's in the gimbal. I just wish the Atom had Inception Mode and other modes that other gimbals offer, though, it does have wireless charging and an audio port/wiring designed into the gimbal which is super cool and helpful. Pros and Cons to every gimbal out there it seems....

[@georgealvitesacker8113]

Hi, do you know of there are bluetooth connecting problems with a Samsung S9 or certain problems with the Android app. Because I'm interested on buying the Moza Mini S but I read some issues about it. Thanks for your answer in avance

[@RandomZeroGravity]

I am using Note 9 when testing this gimbal, so far the connection is stable. I can only speak for my self, since mine was fine.

[@spitemeta]

The one I was looking at, so yeah

Hey that's the DJI Startup sound!🙂😂

[@SorryIcantIhavebookclub]

I am thinking of buying one for my educational videos.

[@yamahamusicians]

That's an incredible price for a gimbal! I am using the zhiyun smooth 4 at the moment, which is great but wish it had a joystick. You can get the same effect but it's a bit of a faff.

[@55pm]

Hahaha Finnally!!!!!Yesssssss!

[@snehanain4744]

You saved me! 🙏

[@tsuweicherng]

I am in the market of a gimbal but I am not sure if the FreeFly Movi can justify the price over the MOZA mini-S. Which one do you recommend more?

[@douglas.barbosa]

Would a Gopro3 be a fit into this gimbal? Tks.

[@9-5nomore26]

I’m currently using the DJI Osmo Mobile 2. It’s a really good gimbal and I got to use it on my first video!

[@heyseun5038]

9-5 No More is it compatible with a plus size phone?

[@9-5nomore26]

HEY SEUN yes, but probably not while in a case.

[@TheGhostPlanet]

Will this hold a Gopro also? If not do you recommend a Gimbel for both Gopro & Smartphone?

[@victorfrossard6038]

yes it also can use on gopro, also you may also need to buy a gopro clamp. check in this link: www.aliexpress.com/store/product/MOZA-MINI-S-Mini-S-3-Axis-Handheld-Gimbal-Phone-Stabilizer-for-iPhone-8-Gopro-hero/913837_32996370059.html

[@thomasjohn7058]

Hey Sean I am using the gimbal that cost about 129 bucks I think I have to still get it and use it but I think that it certainly makes it easy and I think it’s your videos on quality video quality light and quality sound makes sense because if you can get the raw footage done right then you spend much less time with editing software which can take up lots of unnecessary time when you fix the sound and the lighting in the “the video that alone saves a lot of time so great Rick recommendations great suggestions thank you very much very very informational and good videos thank you best regards THOMAS

[@PKmode]

I currently have a Crane Plus for my A7RIII. I previously bought the original DJI OSMO mobile and sold it before it took a huge hit price wise. It seems like these can't possibly get much better for much cheaper. I think I'll scoop one of these up when i want to just use the phone.

I bought the Gudsen Moza Mini-S for 33 EUR in Germany ( 36 USD) normal current price is 50 EUR ( 54 USD ). I try to mount my Gopro Holding Plate to that Gimbal when I will receive it to you use my Hero 4 with this Gimbal, hope it works, otherwise I will use my old 7plus with the Moza Genie app for filming .
