[@deejaylolahug6376]

Even on my pan axis it keeps on rotating but mostly help me on sleep mode problem

[@wolfpaw69]

Honestly, this is one of the best videos for this gimble.

[@RealLifesJourneyBecomingPinoy]

thank you for explaining how to use this gimbal, i am using a Panasonic lumix G95 camera with a comica mic and I had to add a hotshoe to connect the mic sideways and attach the hotshoe on the camera, and then I'm able to balance and calibrate it properly.

[@francescocerminara5106]

Hello Great Job. I balanced my aircross 2 in less then 15 minutes. But I also can't start recording film with my Sony Alpga 7. I only realized to take photos but not to record. didn't you find any way to do it?

[@syedarmaghanhassan4652]

Hey Evan! thanks so much for sharing. You went a bit way too fast for me there.. I just can't figure out HOW TO BALANCE THE ROLL THING? IT always comes in the way. Like what you are showing at 9:09. The Gimbal's base rod, the Last Pan axis is coming in the way, and roll axis can't just go about it. IS IT NORMAL? Don't we want our gimbal to be able to just go round n round and round? A quick reply will be highly appreciated. I need to see if I need to return the gimbal ? :( :( :(

[@deejaylolahug6376]

Hey bro need help with sleep mode after updating the new firmware

[@jasonatkinson2542]

I purchased this gimbal as my first one, found the instructions and tutorials hard to follow/understand until I came across yours, thank you, thank you and thank you.

[@PixelBomb]

Just picked up the Aircross 2 and I have to say, if it wasn't for your video, I'd still be trying to balance it. Thank you SO MUCH for putting this together. You've earned another sub!

[@EvanThomas]

thanks for watching Andrew

[@mikemcnelly2780]

Thanks so much for making this tutorial! I got my Aircross 2 today and was able to get it up and running in about fifteen minutes thanks to your video. I’m sure it would have taken hours otherwise! Exceptionally well presented and extremely helpful.

[@egyptiangod115]

Do you have another tutorial on this with more advanced steps since you have been using this? I was so thankful for this tutorial given it was my first experience with a gimbal and I struggled figuring it out in my own. Debated about returning it even until I found your video. Super clear instructions!

[@texasjezzy87]

This helped a lot, I noticed removing the quick release mount and mounting directly to the L bracket let me center it better which meant my balancing didn't need to be directly on the ends of some of the axis...which also meant that the power needed for tilt, roll and pan wasn't as high...where I was seeing 90+ on roll and pan the first time, now I'm seeing 74 and 54 respectively

[@EvanThomas]

good to know, thank you!

[@oliviamarie187]

How do you go about setting up the camera and connecting it to the gimble? Is it as easy as just connecting a cord and something shows up on the camera and you follow the prompts? Or is there a particular setting you must put the camera to? Thanks!

[@cfthechef]

thank you so much!!! I was about to start the biggest crying session when I discovered your video and it helped me soooo much! I felt in love with this gimbal. it's my first one so it's nearly perfect to me :D

[@Marko-od7eb]

Doesn't the 24-105 lens unbalance the gimbal when you are using zoom due to glass element movement ?

[@azab1094]

How 24-70 GM fits with a73 to this gimbal?

[@innerluvfilms2884]

I’m curious so completely packing your cameras with batteries, nd filters, etc before balancing - does that include hdmi cable from monitor?

[@nicolecampb3ll]

Hi evan! I enjoyed your video so much :) . I have a question... in my case the sleep mode keeps popping out

[@deejaylolahug6376]

Have the same problem need help

[@Throughalanslens]

If i have this setup vertically will the gimbal get in the way when shooting and moving it around especially in lower angle shots?

[@jake30966]

Is there any way to attach a field monitor to this ?

[@mipvideoproductions6685]

Good morning to you Sir how do i updates or install updated on the Gimbal thank you

[@kittywallace9852]

hi great video I followed all your instructions to balance the gimbal but when I switched the power on it just continuously shakes the camera? I try to go to the autotune but it won't allow me to do so. any suggestions

[@russellm434]

I have a question It’s posible pair my Sony a7ii via Bluetooth or cable?

[@tahir8929]

I'm new to videography, is this beginner-friendly and good for a first gimbal? would you recommend using this gimbal with a canon eos 70d + canon 18-55mm lens?

[@vipinvijay1463]

Is there anyway you can show how to balance it vertically. My gimbal always go to sleep mode when i try to balance it vertically

[@dcfanforlife533]

Can it hold bmpcc 6k without a counterweight?

[@GRlMEH]

do you have the link to the quick release plate?

[@KaranveerSingh-ci2jy]

Hlo i have canon 5d mark 4 24-105 lens and im confused bw this gimbal and zhiyun crane 2 plz suggest me which one is right for me waiting 4 urs rply...!!

[@niemandisookiemand6289]

Does this gimbal work on my nikon d7000 and a 18-140

[@demarquez-vouscustomaccess4316]

Hey Evan, what's a good tool you can recommend for editing videos?

[@lawson4269]

So would a moza aircross 1 hold a rebel t6 which is a mirrored camera work with it

[@sante_nutrition-]

Hello, do you know if it works with Canon 80d + sigma 18-35 ?

[@franciscosunworld]

Great video!. Thanks a lot. Do you think we can you set the follow focus to zoom instead?

[@aquaman5464]

got my Aircross 2 and loving it. And i love the gimble balancing tutorial - absolutely awesome!

[@dareckmaurice4295]

Dumb question: after balancing do you lock all 3 axis or leave them unlocked?

[@guss2001]

Have you tried the Professional Kit version with the iFocusM Motor? Does iFocusM Motor add any value to shooting at all?

[@TellYourStory.]

Dude, this is an amazing video. You deserve way more views!!

[@HR-dw3op]

Hi Evan! What should I do if Iwd like to shoot with this gimbal upside down (holding it in a way that the little tripod is facing up and the camera is on the lower part, to shoot a leg level tracking fhot for instance)? When i tried this the motors freaked out and died. What mode should i be in? Should I lock some of the parameters? Thank you!

[@subhaphotography5949]

Is Moja aircross 2 comfortable with canon 80d sigma 17-50mm f2.8 lens?

[@julhacksU]

I am not an english speaker, but I understood everything, nice explanation, thank u!!

[@omkarpatil5325]

Which gimble is better for canon 1300d...? Moza air cross 2 or zhyuin crane 2...? Please let me know

[@faderautomation]

Nice video, can this gimbal be used on FujiFilm A-X7

[@asmmoto]

Hellow, very interesting video, i have a question ....in the screen , switch/ power /filter...switch goes to OFF without any action...what happen? best regards from Chile

[@artsfashion]

Thanks a lot for this wonderful tutorial. I was getting lost with the official tutorials and this one is rteally wonderful. Great job.

[@chrisdissident]

Official tutorial was horrible. I concure, great video. Thanks

[@BijiTGeorge]

WOW!!! The best precise video on KZbin to get started. Way better than the manufactures very confusing videos. Very well explained. This is my first ever Gimbal for videography. I was pretty much clueless on the menu set up. This has taught me all the functions and operations that are available on the Moza Aircross 2. If you could do a video on general shooting technique for different occasions, that would be awesome.

[@EvanThomas]

Thanks for watching! Glad it helped!

[@dogukanylmaz1122]

hi, i have moza aircross 2 gimbal. I want to connect Sony A7R3 camera and 24-70 lens to it. As you say, when making autotone, the balance values ​​are high, it seems like it forces the gimbal motors a little, how can I find a solution to this. Thanks.

[@himeldatta2130]

How can i record from the gimble.. i have connected the gimble with my a7c but i can't record from the gimble.. i have to press the record option from my cam.

[@TheoLianPhoto]

Question, problem! Please help!! As I turn on the gimbal (after have finished the balancing of the camera), always after 3-4 sec the gimbal gets on Sleep mode and not working!! I searched on the web, many have this problem but no real solution anywhere! Do you know why this is happening and how to solve it? Thank you in advance!!

[@designobservatory]

Your example video at the end is not really stable. Same as mine: You can see the walking movement. Why is that? How to solve that?

[@umeshgoswami8573]

Hi I am using Nikon D850 user kindly advice me best gimble to by I am Corporat and editorial work

[@Mas85Photography]

Will it work with a canon t7i?

[@lucasboyle959]

for some reason my aircross 2, when turning the wheel for both for the focus motor and if its assigned to say pan or tilt does it in a really jerky way, stuttering and doesnt go smoothly like when you rotate the wheel for tilt

[@floydmillar2875]

Thanks for the detailed video. Any advice on how to put into inverted mode. Thanks

[@jake30966]

Can you please tell me why there are so many leads with it and what they are for ?

[@Wheels-4-Steels]

I just bought a Moza air 2. what is the specific app to download could you give me url?

[@AyushSharmaa]

I use canon 200d/SL2 with a Tamron 17-50 f2.8, and BOYA wireless mic receiver. My setup weights 1,120 grams in total. do you think that gimbal will perform well??

[@MurlykinYaroslav]

Hello. Could pls help me with my problem: recently a bought this gimbal, and using it with my Sony a6400 + 16-50mm lens ( that’s is the whole set up). And from the beginning, my gimbal started shaking, and even autotune didn’t solve that problem. So I should manually change motor parameters, including motor - power up to 10/15/20, and motor - filter up to 30/10/8 And such parameter’s works well, but if I manually tilt my camera down, or trying to shoot low angles, it starts shaking again. And I need to change the motor’s parameters that work for a specific purpose. Does it mean that I can’t use these motors parameter’s for whole shooting angles and situations, and every time need to change them, depend’s on the angle I want to shoot? Is there any universal solution, or maybe motor parameters that work well in all situations? The same thing happens when I want to use my Sony flip screen - gimbal start’s shaking, but as far as I understood it because of dis-balancing? And one more thing - every time I’m using inception mode ( with different motor’s parameters), and put the gimbal in a «flashlight position» while the gimbal rolling, I can feel kind of light pulls or pushes that comes from the motors, for a full 360-degree roll it’s like 2 pushes. So footage comes not super smooth and you can see these pushes on the video. If I hold my gimbal vertically with the camera looking up, there is no such problem. Is that a normal reaction of my gimbal in the inception mode, or it is because my camera is very light? Thank you

[@maddieferger3755]

Okay so I’ve had this for months and could not figure out how to get it to work. I watched this video once and you helped me figure it all out. So THANK YOU. Turns out I was doing everything backwards 🤦🏻‍♀️😂

[@englishfoodie_uk]

Great Video thank you i just got mine this evening, alas none of the cables are for my Nikon Z6 if you know any places i can get them help appreciated

[@dg1studios89]

My Moza aircross screen after balancing is only saying English and words below it. Its not doing anything else. What could be the issue?

[@ashleyleahholmes9561]

Mine won't auto tune when I click on it, I am pushing the red center button. Is that correct?

[@mussietube9909]

Hello i see empty space in the box.. i have the same gimbal buy it second hands.. did you dont have the moza i focus m inside the box?

[@evansalina]

So I rebalanced with your tutorial again and it works well, but I notice micro jitters. My way of fixing this is to gimbal > motor > power and switch to ultralight. I am not sure if the vibrating affects footage, but I rather it not be giving me vibration. Have you experienced this? I am using an a7iii and tamron 28-75.

[@jeancaceres7670]

Is that Gothenburg?!

[@markresurreccion1391]

Hello, do you suggest this gimbal on nikon d5500 camera. thanks

[@EvanThomas]

Yes you could use this gimbal for that camera. Or a Zhiyun

[@garyworrell2854]

In the creative video settings - After going through all the steps to set up a motion path for a time lapse recording, is there any way to save the settings for recall later?

[@theb-sidetalk4766]

So, I'm having some small balancing issues...it's like 99.5 % balanced...just a hair off...BUT- it keeps going into sleep mode even when I'm in the middle of using it. I cannot seem to find anything in the mune which lets me control this.

[@espinozakasey88]

This video was great!!!! I loved this video, it helped me set up pretty quick! The first video I saw of someone else explaining it confused me. So I’m glad I’m able to subscribe to your channel

[@EvanThomas]

Glad it helped!

[@kuldipdhiman]

Evan, thanks for the informative video. I have some questions. I manage to balance the aircorss2 but after that, the camera is supposed to stay wherever you position it. This does not happen in my case. The camera goes back to its horizontal position facing front. After balancing it, I don’t know what the next step is. To begin with, just tell me how to use the tilt and pan mode. In these modes, please tell me what to do if I want to keep the subject locked, and when I don’t want the subject to be locked. I know there is a lock and follow mode but I am not getting the hang of them. Another frustrating thing is that once I switch the gimbal on the display shows FE tilt, roll, pan. Then it starts quaking. What am I supposed to do, wait or take some action? Often before I can do something, it keeps going into sleep mode.

[@kuldipdhiman]

And sometimes the trigger works and sometimes it does not.

[@GraphicsTO]

Hey I'm not really an expert about gimbals but I can reply to your last problem ("Often before I can do something, it keeps going into sleep mode.") since it happened to me too. You might laugh that it's so obvious, well your gimbal is going in sleep mode everytime you turn it on because you did not balance it properly. That's it mate

[@kuldipdhiman]

@@GraphicsTO thank you Evan.

[@GraphicsTO]

@@kuldipdhiman you're welcome! I'm not Evan though lol

Did you do a video on the Moza air 2?

[@mikeelgoher4107]

man thanks a lot I bought this Gimble not long time ago and when I need to balance it I refer to your video Thanks A lot!!

[@RealMilschmann]

can i use it with my canon xc10

[@brianmoore5432]

A Very clear and well explained tutorial. I hope you do more soon.

[@EvanThomas]

thanks, and thanks for watching

[@paulsaban9579]

Thankyou for this very informative video. Using a zoom lens, would you balance the gimbal with the zoom extended or retracted, or about half way, Presumably this depends on your predictive usage before the shoot?

[@mojoxphotography]

Great advice. Love it. Although I do wish the suggestion to add the mic before balancing had come before the balancing. 😅

[@baroud5809]

Please let me know of how to enter the PFV mode and what are the meanings of PFV and FPV.

[@fluoricath]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think FPV stands for First Person View. I don't know what PFV is. Even, I'm not even sure there is such a PFV as you mentioned above.

[@johnjackley3643]

Mine arrived today, outstanding tutorial! Would have liked to see you cover the various cables that come with it.

[@TheG4ost]

I bought this gimbal and it works well just I hate when I go into certain angles with it and it will go into sleep mode I think it’s because I just used that lbracket but didn’t connect the other brackets to mount it.

[@VividlineImages]

I believe you have to change the usb mode in camera to pc mode not multi or any other one in order for it to work

[@temurabdullaev7313]

Didn't try to mount it on a monopod and make passes from a height. I wonder if it will withstand the horizontal load of the steadicam if you attach it to the monopod, make a run behind the actor and then lagging behind raise him up, like a crane)

Hello everyone, Can Mona Aircross 2 balance a GoPro hero 9? Have you guys tried to do it?

[@ginodavis]

Hi, nice review. I am confused between DJI Ronin SC and Aircross 2. I have a Nikon z6 with 24-70 f4 and 50mm 1.8s. The main purpose is to make travel videos. What is your suggestion based on your experience?

[@EvanThomas]

go with the aircross

[@estudio12carlosg.16]

Great video, for the owners of a Panasonic FZ-1000 and a Aircross 2 gimbal, you can use the Panasonic app with your smartphone and broadcast the image from the camara to your phone while you record and at the same time use the mimic control of the Aircross 2 and control the movements from the gimbal, it is awesome!

[@olyashchukina427]

I have so simple problem, but I can`t resolve it. When I turn on my gimbal I see the choice between English and Chinese? and I tried to put all buttons, this choice doesn`t disappear. How to do the choice and go further?

[@olyashchukina427]

I resolve it

[@jake30966]

Awesome tutorial , the best out of them all . When i go to FPV mode i can't get it into Sport Gear mode , i press the right button like you said and it doesn't move from FPV mode , what am i doing wrong ?

[@fluoricath]

Just click the left button 3 times to back to normal mode.

[@neilgibb5265]

What if the 100% pan motor and the97% others are an inverse indication? In other words 100 is perfect, and the others at 3% = 100-97. Because it wasn't a perfect balance those axes on original setup to save time?

[@alistairm9351]

Great review and tutorial. Very clear and well explained. Thanks.

[@rachelchoi2335]

Very helpful thank you! Not sure if you can help but Im struggling with my Moza Aircross 2 as the motor shakes alot everytime I tilt 45 degree to the right.. I used A6400 with 18-105 lens and calibrated correctly and balanced the gimbal but something is not quite right.. Its worse when I use lighter lens..(eg sigma 30)

[@jonnytelcoin1924]

have you updated the firmware, i know a firmware update dealt with this issue

[@realchosen11]

Hi Evan. Thank you for your great video. I'm about to purchase the Moza aircross 2 and I have an important question: I see many people who own a gimbal use a monitor especially when they want to take low tilting shots like footsteps for example. Some add a handle too. Do you really need a monitor? Should I invest in one too?

[@ru.wwwwolk]

Nice work. Beautiful assistant) Hello from Russia) 🙏

[@TellYourStory.]

Sorry, but how to balance the P Axis is still a riddle to me. Which of the axis has to be locked?

[@nilesurianger7812]

It took me a couple of months to decide if I wanted to go with the Weebill S or the Moza Aircross 2. Along with a few other videos as well as your tutorial video on this, I chose the latter. Even if it means I'll be losing out on some customization with the accessories to add on the Weebill S. You got yourself a sub good sir!
