The MOZA Air 2 Gimbal is Incredible

[@Ootini4]

I was buying what you were saying up until 7:19. Ronin S has this and it came out months ago. Being in industry you are in there is NO WAY you haven't heard of it. I don't doubt this is a good gimbal but blatant lying makes you and Moza look bad. Makes us start thinking "Maybe they were paid to say this stuff?"

[@sergeiegorkin7873]

Chris, are you a dummy? Can’t read sarcasm?

[@Ootini4]

That is the exact second I stopped listening too.

[@jcdelas]

This is the Ronin S but like one year later. It is noticable how there is no menrion to specs where the ronin s beats moza like workload. Also, no video samples like other videos ( like the one they go to a bar with the gimbal )

[@ManuelRusch]

No it does not. The Ronin-S supports a workload of 3.6kg, the Air 2 supports 4.2kg.

[@akpevbe]

Well i guess if MOZA pay me too, i'll totally ignore the existence of Ronin S also 🤷🏿‍♂️

[@ChunkyJo]

Isn't the Ronin start at like $700 though?

[@RACETR1M]

I own the ronin s and it does not compare to this thing. The only thing I would say it beats the moza in is a more metalic construction. But then again that adds weight which most of y’all are moaning about anyway. And if the weebil lab is so good then why does it have such terrible reviews? Besides, you can’t compare the two because they are in two totally different classes. You can’t put an FS7 on a weebil lab like you can the Moza air 2. Like I said two totally different classes.

[@Hoopty_Poopty]

Man, either be honest about your review or don't review it at all. If you're sponsored mention it and if there is other better products, mention it. You guys being ignorant towards other products and being biased to make a few bucks is not only a bad review, but it's cringe!

[@KyleJosephBuckley]

I purchased the moza air 2 and it kept falling asleep and turning off randomly. The gimbal was balanced correctly too. Also the build quality feels way cheaper than a 600 dollar product. The build quality between the dji and moza is night and day. I went with the ronin s and had zero issues. Also the battery thing was annoying taking them out and having a separate charger. I don’t know. This seemed to be more of an ad for moza than an actual opinion about it.

[@dtmasd]

That was happening to me with Moza Air 2S but eventually, I found that it was happening as my Roll axis was locked and Moza instead of giving clear message, kept going in sleep mode and eventually turn off.

[@ManniGaming]

I could use some help here. I have a large LED device that goes into the flash-socket of my camera. With the battery attached to it it weighs quite a lot. How do I combine my light-solution with a gimbal? Can I attach this to the front of the gimbal instead of the flash-socket? How how do you do that?

[@AndreasKryp]

You keep talking about how this gimbal is unique and everything and how it is the first to do some things but this is just a copy of the Dji ronin s. Gimbals like the ronin s zhiyun crane 2 or 3 and a few others have had these feautures you talk about for months now! Just make honest reviews man!

[@BenTroxell]

Is this an ad or a review? Not a single video sample?

[@YoungBlaze]

Its definitely a fuckin ad 😐

[@user-io5gw1rk4t]

I really think this video should have been called "How to destroy all credibility in 30 seconds" the amount of be is just insane.

[@caalinAbyan]

After three years do you relized there weekpoints yet? What about canin m50 with this gimbal?

[@HikingWithCooper]

I would suggest reading my honest reviews about this gimbal somewhere in this thread. Short story is avoid this thing like the plague. It is absolute garbage. The features are cool and it generally works well but it also tends to freak out and do a forced multi-axis spin then drop the camera out of its lousy base plate. There is just so much wrong with this gimbal. Save up for the DJI or just go glidecam.

[@PlaytimeAdventureTV]

Hello, When I turn on my Moza Air 2, it displays an error message that says "ERROR! (02)". How do I resolve this problem? I have a professional shoot on Friday and I really need to fix this. Thank you.

[@MidgarMerc]

Yeah gotta agree with a lot of these comments. Completely neglecting the Ronin S feels questionable

[@KoiaKoiaEVE]

You keep talking about how it's the first to have an offset roll motor. I'm wondering if you've heard of DJI Ronin s? This is literally a copy of it.

[@lbowesphoto]

And the Tilta Gravity G2X. Ikan DS2-A Beholder as well. It's definitely not a new concept.

[@LeechTM]

and the Feiyutech AK 2000/4000 aswell... but overall a good review. I would love to know if the Moza Air 2 can be positioned by Hand without the motors trying to work against you.

[@kanocularTV]

well, pilotfly has that design patented. so.. that makes all these chinese companies thieves. they are so good at stealing intellectual properties.

[@crispywisp]

LeechTM yes. If the motors are locked. It works for both the pan and tilt. But not with the roll.

[@LeechTM]

@@kanocularTV well, it does say patent pending on their website, so actually, right now, nothing is protected, nor guaranteed if it will even go through. And i have to add, i never even heard of pilotfly before, even though i live in Germany and work in the Film Industry... have to check them out.

[@sebastianpervan]

I love you guys, but as many other already stated - when something is sponsored, pls say so in the beginning. No doubt Moza AIR 2 is a good gimble. But... I have Ronin S, and it can do everything this can...and you didn't mention it at all. Ronin S IMHO is de facto standard for "one-handed" gimbals, and should be mention in comparison.

[@MiikaWasHere]

Do agree! I think not mentioning is one thing, but saying stuff about Moza that it only does, when also Ronin S does it.... is another. If he's clueless, why is he reviewing these and if not, why is he stating stuff that isn't true. Although I like Moza and the video with it flaws gives quite good picture of the gimbal. I own Ronin S myself.

[@RollinLeonard]

seems very similar to dji ronin-s. would be useful to see a comparison if you have that one. it also has "inception mode" and many other features you've listed. is this just an ad or is this a real review?

[@Haliran]

Huh. I always looked at Fstoppers as people who knew their shit. Until now. Either you've missed DJI AND Zhiyun entirely or you're blatantly lying. Neither option makes you look very professional..

[@alexworks9659]

Hey Fstoppers! I predict about half your comments will be on how this is also accomplished by Ronin S. Could you have overlooked at the DJI gimbal while exalting this one?

[@YoungBlaze]

Not when they pay you to say things

[@eLearningBizTec]

@@YoungBlaze and you ridiculously believe that DJI doesn't "pay them" as well...? On top, Monty clearly said they're sent this stuff all the time, including this one, so there's really no "surprise" or secret here as to whether or not it's what you call a "paid-for" video. The simple fact that Canon or DJI seem to have a lot of fanboys out there still does not mean it was a crime to actually every now and then post a video about something different (and better) ;)) , so I really did enjoy this one!

[@martinshelley1849]

I know of at least 3 other gimbals that do just about everything you have talked about in this review, some of which are cheaper. Check out the Dji Ronin S, FeiyuTech AK2000 or AK4000 and some of the new Zhiyun gimbal models. Do your homework before you start talking like this is the only gimbal with these functions. Its actually about 12 months behind.

[@carlevansphotography7914]

Dude. Have you not heard of the DJI Ronin S?

[@LukasSchroederFilms]

literally, he says its the best gimbal. I'm watching it like, "ok ronin s has this..yup and this..."

[@RamSarup]

There are currently around 6 Gimbals on the market that have 'Inception' Mode, and run a test to ensure the Gimbal is correctly balanced. FStoppers are clearly not testing ALL gimbals like they state in this video. Not impressed by this gimbal, or the video. So much false information. And it seems very biased.

[@Jmarkwalter]

Glad you guys are also backing this! I love my first Moza Air and use it all the time. If something crazy happens and i feel the need for a newer model this will for sure be my go to with the experience i've had with the first one. Moza Also get's back to you in a timely manner..... Good luck hearing anything back from DJI as they hands down have the most awful customer service.

[@JEMay2010]

Wait till you try the Customer Service at MOZA! Look up the reviews... Sadly,they are useless...

[@mortenbangas]

There is just no way you guys dont know about the Ronin S - and that just makes this a video that tells all of us that you cant be trusted in any of the reviews you make. Thats just sad. I really thought I could learn from this channel, but now there is no point watching anything you make.

[@YoungBlaze]

This video must of been filmed a year ago and just now coming out.... thats what i think , its gotta be right?

[@mortenbangas]

YoungBlaze I dont think the Air 2 is that old. As far as I can tell the Ronin S showed up a few months earlier and fstoppers just had to know about it.

[@TheTomm101]

I understand your sentiment but the end may be a bit of a leap.. end of the day, they are photographers, we all know these sponsored vids/ads/paid reviews (whichever) always seem a bit forced and cringey.. but I let them off as we all need to earn and eat, 99% of the rest of their youtube content is fantastic... and free. So take it a video at a time.

Does the handle unscrew? I have the Moza Air, and the bottom unscrews where you remove the batteries. Its great because it fits in my bag perfectly. If not, guess Ill stick with the first model as this will be too big

[@_MJ07_]

[@Shiznaft1]

Didn't the Moza Aircross have roll/inception mode? I think that came out in late 2017. So I guess Moza had roll first?

[@OcheaNen]

Does it has a cable for canon 80d?

[@brewmethods]

Can it be used with a monitor which connects to HDMI?

[@LaneMcCall]

I too found it odd that you didn't mention the DJI Ronin-S at 7:19 considering the Ronin-S and Pilotfly Adventurer have already been doing the inception mode for a while. There's a few times in this video where I felt you overlooked the existence of these other competitive gimbals. With that being said, this looks like a promising gimbal but I'm going to pass simply because I'd like a gimbal with a removable handle (like the Ronin-S and Pilotfly Adventurer) for easy storage on my travels. Everything else seems solid though and you did a decent overview of it's features.

[@ProducedbyAleex]

Does this thing support something bigger like a fs5?

[@yshrem]

Are you living under a rock? All of the features you described are available in other gimbals. The first to angle the back to not block access to the screen was Pilotfly H2 45 (the gimbal I own), which was actually patented by the company. That gimbal can also roll (what you call "Inception mode"), can plug in to charge the batteries that last for more than 20 hours, etc. Then most of the other features you discribed are available on the Ronin S (which also wasn't the first to offer a roll feature and an angle back, even though some people are under that impression) , and even some of the design of the Moza shown here was directly copied from the Ronin S. So much misinformation!!! Lastly, reviewing a gimbal with no footage is truly pointless.

[@dj2mixx429]

Very good Video, but why is the Moza Air Vetter than a Ronin S?

[@finpark7785]

Seriously, and I think the Ronin s is actually cheaper. 599usd vs 499usd (Ronin). There is nothing mentioned in this video that "blows" the ronin s away. Silly.

[@crispywisp]

Because you can control each motor’s power, follow or lock it instantly without going through the menu. I do think it’s a better buy than Ronin even if they copied the design.

[@finpark7785]

@@crispywisp You can do that on the ronin s as well.

[@crispywisp]

Fin Park I think you’re talking about the trigger. Yes, the trigger locks all the motors. But with the Moza, you can follow or lock one of each axis on the gimbal with a press of button without navigating through the menu or the app. And you can change the power of each motor axis on the gimbal too without using an app. And also the responsiveness / deadpan can be controlled instantly with the scroll wheel.

I've seen the same ridiculous hate being spewed on just about every photographer's you tube channel when they do a positive and glowing review of something. Take a look at some below calling Peter McKinnon, Peter McCanon because he gave a positive review of the EOS-R. Take a look at Tony Northrup's videos both giving glowing reviews of the EOS-R despite it's faults and then hammering the Nikon Z series cameras. He constantly states he has never received money for a review and he is still hammered in the comments. I could go on and on and on. This is what the photographer community does - it simply spews hate and anger over anything they view as "dishonest". Who's to say that he just really likes the Moza Air 2? What makes that dishonest? Should he have used some of the superlatives he did knowing other gimbals do the same thing? No. Definitely not but that does not make him a paid shill anymore than it does any of those other people doing reviews. It's a freakin' Gimbal for goodness sake! Not to mention this video has only been out for what - 24 hours? I suspect they will respond. The whole community is just laughable. It makes people not even want to provide reviews or opinions because they know some segment of the photography population will lambast them.

@@markshirley01 - Fair enough Mark. I can understand being annoyed. However, it's a pretty big leap in my opinion to go from calling someone less than objective to calling someone a liar or dishonest. It would be an entirely different story if the Moza Air 2 was garbage and Lee was pushing it regardless. However, as I stated before there are many reviewers on You Tube who have stated they think it is not only an excellent gimbal but better than the Ronin S (it is lighter most definitely and has more features in some areas. I personally think they are on par when it comes to actual footage but that's just a preference thing). I can provide links to at least 3 reviewers who like it better than the Ronin S. Does that mean they are paid by Gudsen as well? I do have to laugh though about the Inception "roll" option that Lee stated no one else has. The funny thing is that it's an option on the original Moza Air before the Ronin had it. I think he's more guilty of not really doing his homework on this one...
