Perfect start or everyday use Cardan

I wasn't sure what a stabilizer bar was until I did some research and bought this. Basically, you hold the gimbal in your hand and slowly move while recording a video. The camera itself (the phone) is held on top of your hand (like on a gyroscope) and when you move the camera stays still, either moving with you or focusing and locking on a single object. (see video) The variations are endless. I won't bore you with the details of the packaging but it was of good quality as was the delivery (excellent) which arrived in 3 days. When you unfold the device for the first time, you can imagine it like a newborn calf standing up for the first time. You will get an image. After scanning the QR code (I used the code printed on the device, but some of them are available in the documentation) and downloading the application, it became clear what the issue is. The device came to life, certainly in a futuristic way. The camera is stabilized with the app interface on the screen. The app itself is very impressive. The first thing that struck me is the widescreen option, which isn't present on my phone (oneplus). Multiple options including slow motion playback, ISO settings, too many to name. Just by shooting some videos near my house it becomes clear that a stabilizer is needed and in particular the quality of this stabilizer. If you run professional blogs like tubing, a stabilizer is a must. For example, you can start the video by moving right and the camera will follow you. Press the shutter button on the Moza and the camera will stop moving while continuing to focus on the selected point. However, you will still move, in general it's just cool. The device itself is charged via a USB-C cable (included). I believe that when using Moza, your phone will run out of power long before the device. You'll obviously want to carry around a couple of external batteries, which I'm sure most people have. I give the Moza Mini-MX Smartphone Gimbal Stabilizer 5 stars based on the following points. 1. General quality and stability of the device. 2. Easy installation of the application with a link to the phone and the application itself. 3rd prize. Most gimbals I looked at cost between $250 and $300. While this gimbal is excellent value for money, it not only serves as a great entry-level stabilizer, it can also easily be used as the primary device for a professional and essential touch to your online videos.

Pros
  • Great range
Cons
  • So-so
