Review on Moza Mini Mi: 3-Axis Smartphone Gimbal with Wireless Charging in Black by Anastazja Krewetka ( ᠌

Revainrating 3 out of 5

The average product, you can find a better one.

In general, the device is not bad, but before buying, you need to check its operation directly with the phone you are going to use it with. Due to the large camera block of the iPhone 13 PRO, with any method of installing the stabilizer in the vertical position (on a tripod or in the hand), a sufficiently large part of the stabilizer always enters the frame, which interferes with shooting. You have to either hold the stabilizer almost horizontally, or turn the smartphone around so that the screen is blocked by the stabilizer, which is very inconvenient.

Pros
  • It performs its main function perfectly - very good stabilization, no complaints. Wireless charging of a smartphone is a nice little thing, it’s a pity that it is only implemented through one place and will quickly break down. The object tracking function works cool.
Cons
  • The main drawback is that the device is unsuitable for use with the iPhone 13 PRO (and this, by the way, is one of the most popular smartphones in the world). during normal installation, part of the stabilizer mechanism enters the frame. There are no other installation options, I tried everything. When shooting, you have to either hold the stabilizer almost horizontally, or shoot with magnification (x1.5). I ordered a balancing additional weight so that it would be possible to install a smartphone with an offset to the right, so that nothing extra would get into the lens, but this is still a half measure, because. not very convenient, plus an increase in weight leads to a decrease in the operating time from a single charge, well, it’s not a fact that it will help. The second huge minus, about which we have already written, is that the wires for connecting wireless charging are placed inside the platform rotation mechanism and when this platform is rotated (horizontal / vertical position of the phone), they inevitably fray. A very stupid design decision. The third minus is the official application. In terms of functionality, it is acceptable, in principle, you can shoot, but a very poor interface and poor translation into 2022. Well, the fourth major drawback - the control buttons (zoom, record) do not work anywhere except for the official clumsy application. If you want to shoot through the standard iPhone camera or other third-party applications, keep in mind that all control is only through the screen. Also, the disadvantages include connecting charging via micro-usb and a connector for connecting smartphone power via standard USB - after all, in the modern world it is high time to switch to type-c.
