Review on Moza Mini Mi: 3-Axis Smartphone Gimbal with Wireless Charging in Black by Agata Kowalik ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

I have not regretted the purchase, everything is fine.

The biggest issue is calibration. On YouTube and on the Internet, there is simply no normal review of it with the identification of all problems. All reviews are a standard set of words for all bloggers (some have a little more, some have a little less). For example, someone claims that you can’t shoot in a static position on them, the motor will burn out. Someone claims that there is no difference and the motor is still under load. Only a couple of guys said about it. During operation (1.5 months), it was found: 1. You need good straight hands to properly calibrate it. The first calibration did not give anything at all, the horizon filled up. After the second, it would seem that everything is normal, but no, the stabilizer led to the side at a few millimeters per minute. After the second, there were clicks in the motors. After another 3 or 4, everything seems to be fine. But again, at a certain inclination, clicks began to appear in the motor, and in the "sport" mode, it simply shook and vibrated very strongly. Hands seem to be straight, a lot of things have already been redone. Now the "sport" mode generally scored. After the firmware and the new calibration, it seemed to get better. 2. The application is also with surprises. There was some kind of glitch. When you connect with the stabilizer, it was impossible to add sound. The phone (iphone 7) froze 2 times because of this. Not compatible with other applications (like promovie). In them, it's just a stabilizer and the camera control buttons do not work (even the recording start button). You have to manually set the settings, and poke on the phone to start recording. But despite all these jambs, the stabilizer is still convenient. It is convenient for its management and this is the best thing about this device. Of course, you need to pat yourself a little on your nerves, but if you doubt whether to take it or not, then I would advise you to buy it all the same. Analogues will be worse (information for August 2022). He himself wandered from model to model for a very long time. Fears remain only in how long this thing can last. And will they replace it under warranty if something happens.

Pros
  • 1. Liked the management. Very comfortable. The main thing to remember is 1 time, and then the understanding will come that it is very convenient. 2. Stabilizes well (like all stabilizers in this price range). 3. Switch to sleep mode. 4. Lots of mounts. 5. Wireless charging is always convenient. 6. Good case. 7. Can withstand a lot of weight (up to 300 grams), because good motors are installed. Phone with lenses hung holds and stabilizes without problems. (But then, accordingly, the risk of rapid wear of the motors).
Cons
  • 1. Firmware and application. The application on ios is still working well (acceptable, so to speak), but calibrating it is a different story. 2. Sometimes he does not understand movements and he is carried away into a slump. (it is new, released after July). 3. Calibration. It's just terrible. 4. Incompatibility with Iphone stabilizers (well, this is not only Moza's problem). 5. Quite bulky. It can't be compact.
