Revainrating 5 out of 5

It's literally shocking what this suspension can do!

Within five minutes of receiving the Moza Aircross 2, I was moving the camera effortlessly around my apartment and with my fingertips in full control of all five dimensions of the image, as if I had an entire professional film crew assisting me would me Of course, you still need to light and decorate the scene, but if you want smooth, very accurate, blur-free video footage as you hold the camera while moving through that scene, this is the way to go. gear will allow you to do just that. Pan, tilt, rotate, zoom, focus and time are all at your fingertips. Just balance the camera in each of the three dimensions (what could be easier!) and you're done! The camera switches to attention and you are in control. A lifelong filmmaker, I have been in the industry for decades, working for others and producing and directing my own feature films. I love this craft, but to be honest, once I have a scene in my head and have it written down on paper, it becomes very difficult for me to capture it on film. It's almost never exactly what you envisioned, and even if you achieve perfection, you'll have to carry and set up literally tons of heavy and complicated equipment and hire a whole team of seasoned professionals to produce the recording you envisioned to have. . As a result, years have passed since I tried to overcome this hurdle and I have not made anything other than short films or videos for a long time. A friend asked me to shoot a video for his band and I quickly had the idea, but it had to include a lot of movement: dolly and zoom shots, steadicam. Crane shots and shots with precise motion control heads and experience with all these methods. I doubted that the budget was available for my vision and I started to sugarcoat it, thinking I'd just buy a gimbal and do my best. When I saw what was possible with Aircross 2 and the (free!) Moza app, I was not only able to achieve my original vision, but also spurred myself to better shots that I could achieve! With the app there are so many ways to control the camera on the fly, as well as programmable and repeatable. precise movement. It can even automatically snap to and follow the selected object! Moza literally packs industry expertise into a lightweight carrying case. You still need to have a vision, but Moza lets you make it happen! With this single tool, you can achieve tremendous production value at a very low cost. Feel free to buy it. I'm an old and tired director, but this inspired me to create a feature film that I've dreamed of for a long time. Now I believe I can make this film and more because the barriers of all the equipment and the film crew are gone for me!
