Haha, thank you!
Amazing video! What was the picture profile that you used!? Looks. Flat but really pretty!!
👍👍👍
one question, ronin s or moza air 2???
Is there anything that allows you to attach it to your hip like a glidecam brace thingy to help with fatigue?
This ain't no gimbal review... This is a gimbal MASTERCLASS. Thanks!
LOL, well said!
Master of all Gimbals: The Brandon Li
What I love about this video is that you show your movement on that little screen. You're literally dancing along with the gimbal! I can see how hard you've been studying and practicing your skills! Thank you so much Brandon😄 I always appreciate your work! 👍
This is the BEST explanation for using this Moza Air 2 I have seen! I bought mine last week and really like the creative possibilities for using it. Now I can use it like it was designed to be used. Thank you very much!
Absolutely one of our favorite film makers!!❤️❤️❤️
Great and complete review Brandon! Was a pleasure to work with you and we had some fun with this gimbal, still a bit sore of the Moza Air 2 workout but I never experienced a steady gimbal like this before 😅😂
Moza got you ✔️✔️✔️
This type of picture in picture where you show us what you are doing and the result of that at the same time is extremely helpful.
Brandon you're a beast with the camera 😭😭🔥🔥🔥
That stabilization though! Wow. Thanks for another awesome video Brandon.
Brandon,
You are the most enjoyable on CZcams to watch!
Thank you brother!
best review so far. You really showed the differences to other gimbals. can't wait to recieve my moza air 2
Amazing job, I'm sold on this gimbal. Also your instruction, technique and presentation are on point. That model is fit lol she deserves a hot lunch after this shoot!! Good work both of you.
Excellent, very honest feedback shared. One of the best reviews on this Gimbal. Keep up the honesty and details you shared. That makes you awesome!!!
This is a fantastic review Brandon! Nice work.
Stumbled into the moza air 2 last week. There aren't much hands on reviews or test footage (that isn't in slow mo lol) out there yet so thank you so much for this! I'll be getting the air 2 after watching your vid. I've noticed lighter gimbals tend to wobble and shake so I dont mind the a heavier weight. You got yourself a new subscriber!
Thanks! In this case I do believe the extra weight makes it steadier. However some heavy gimbals can be shaky - it's all about the motor responsiveness.
Review plus tutorial in many cases, it is a perfect combination! Thanks!
AFTER WATCHING ALL YOUR REVIEWS THIS IS THE ONE FOR ME THANK YOU!
I have the BMPCC4K with the Sigma 18-35mm balanced on this beast. With the iFocus.
Im training every evening, no extra cost for the gym now :D
Thank you for posting this review, great info / test footage. As you may have heard, the pre-order process with Gudsen has been quite the nightmare. Many are hanging on to hope that the product itself will make up for the poor customer service / pre-order experience. Speaking for myself this review has definitely helped stretch out my patience a little more with Gudsen.
Great honest review. Would love to see your review if the new zhuiyun weebill lab gimbal.
It is really helpful to see how you actually move to get these shots. Maybe it sounds strange but there is quite a bit of a learning curve to it. Learning how to control the gimbal to get the correct shots isn't easy. I think that's something you do really well. You've learned how to get really good angles.
Glad I pre ordered this sucker. And so glad you reviewed it!
Thank you for this review! This is the best one of seen and exactly what I needed.
Thank you for another great vid, Brandon! Cheers from the Bronx!
💯 great review compared to the other channels👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 keep it up bro😃
Wait for so long! Finally new video!
Great review! you are the master handling the gimbal, what makes a great shot is how you walk and run, I can tell from the last scene where the other guy runs compared with your take and I can see the difference. Thank you
You are the reason I picked up the first moza air and now this! I was looking at going to the ronin but wanted to wait a bit and im glad i did as i have absolutely loved my first moza.
same Justin, I was going to go with the Ronin -S too...but when I never saw a Brandon review of it, it made me think there might be something else coming that could be better. Glad I waited...now if only Moza could get more of these gimbals to their USA suppliers.
@@paulgero I'm not in any crazy rush for one but I was highly considering jumping to the Ronin. I would really like to see how the follow focus works though after Brandon figures it out as it would be nice to know that the function actually works for those slower non fast run and gun situations. Really excited he did one for them after he had the issues with Moza.
I didn't review follow focus because I only have focus by wire lenses and ff so basically useless. You need to use full manual lenses.
@@BrandonLiUnscripted Heard that! Wasn't sure if it would be something down the line anytime soon, no worries and thanks for the response.
First, compliments. Terrific review and I've visited your web page a few times and you are a true professional who does exceptional work. Now for my experience with the Moza Air 2. I've been using it since it came out well over two years ago. I am now almost a 68 year old DOP, yet I don't have a problem with the weight. That said, I don't shoot with it all day. Even on an all-day shoot, we usually take breaks between shooting b-roll. We may even shot some b-roll, switch to doing interviews, then go back to shooting b-roll. So, that helps. As to the focus, we own the iFocus set-up and I use it all the time. I use peaking, a must when using the focus wheel on the side of the gimbal. We rehearse the gimbal moves which allows me to play with the focus. We also use the Sony 16-35 lens which has no hard stops so it does make focus tricky but most of the time I don't have any problems. If I'm doing a lot of in and out moves, especially somewhat fast ones, I switch to auto focus. On our Sony a7R III, it's pretty good. What I'm having big trouble with is getting the focus wheel on the gimbal and the hand-held focus wheel to both work. I'm working on it. Moza basically says I need to reinstall the firmware on all three units. The thing that really makes me work hard with this gimbal is when my boss, usually the Director on shoot, wants to see what I'm doing live as I do it. In that case I use an ikan two handle unit. The gimbal is attached in the middle. On top of one handle is an Atomos Ninja 5 (which helps with focus) and it's plugged in to a wireless HD transmitter attached to the top of the other handle. Talk about heavy!!! In that case we keep the moves short and only do a few at a time. No, we can't afford a Steadicam type rig or something similar. But overall we love this gimbal. It has served us well.
Have been waiting for this thanks Brandon
This guy is great in his reviews straight to the point and entertaining convinced me.
Thanks for doing this, Brandon! I've been on the fence about this one vs. the Ronin S. Going to go with the Moza!
This is the one of the best reviews of Moza Air 2!!! Brandon, a lot of thanks from Russia!!!
great review, thanks! did you try using the follow focus motor to control the zoom ring on your 24-105, or other zoom lens? is the motor strong enough?
Thanks for showing the main features in a real world application. I just picked mine up and with your help I totally get it now. Only bummer is it won't connect to my Nikon Z6 but hope that time will come soon.
Great one as usual Brandon
Another excellent review Brandon, I'll just wait for it's little brother, the Aircross 2.
this is an amazing review and test footage. exactly what we needed. one thing I would of liked to see is the camera mounted backwards(facing the other direction) for long heavy lens setups like I've seen done on the ronin-s and especially the tilta g2x. I'm thinking mount it backwards and use selfie mode?
thanks a lot for all your great reviews
Great review! Curious to see what your thoughts are for the zhiyun weebill lab when you get a chance to review it.
Brandon you're like a ballet dancer. I'd have crashed into a tree, dropped the gimble and suffered a full Fototantrum!
Hey Brandon, Thanks for this useful and professional review. Is there any chance you can also make a review on the Moza Aircross 2?
great review/demonstration!
Welcome back
Great stuff! I'm taking notes from this video :) hopefully these heavy gimbals will become a thing of the past soon.
dude, welcome back! I missed you...
Great video Brandon! Can you start and stop recordings (and shoot stills) from the gimbal buttons with your Sony camera?
Very helpful. Thanks, Brandon.
To remember how many presses for each axis I just think about the alphabetical order of the words Pan, Roll and Tilt. P for Pan comes first in the alphabet so it's (1 press), R for Roll comes second so it's(2 presses), then T for Tilt comes third so it's(3 presses).
Great Review! Maybe I am the only one but my first thought was because of the weight problem. So when will gudsen release the moza air cross 2 :))
Your videos are always great for learning keep doing the great work. I have Nikon Z6 and want to have gimbal so I can use my Nikkor 14-24mm with FTZ Adapter for my real estate videography. Can u plz reccomend the best gimbal which will work best with my combo. Looking for your suggestion. Thanks
Good gimbal & your editing work 👍
Nice video, Brandon. The weight would be a real issue for a lot of shooters, I feel.
Will you be producing a review for the Weebil LAB anytime soon?
best moza air 2 description.
Absolutely correct review 👍
Thanks a lot for that honest review, I have a Zhiyun crane 2 and until now it seems that Zhiyun might be the best in terms of innovation but the last (at least between the big 3) at stabilization. I am looking at the DJI Ronin S which looks very stable but for the even heavier weight. I hope you do a test comparing the Moza air 2 and Ronin S. The Weebil also looks good (I still don't know about stability) for weight form factor if we have to go beyond those heavier setup.
Awesome. Have been waiting for this. If it passes the Brandon Li “seal of approval” it will be the one I get
Hey Brandon, I value your opinions on these gimballs, and I'd like to know your honest opinion on what gimball you'd pick if you had the choose only one? These gimballs are constantly being upgraded, and choosing only one is becoming difficult over time due to cost. My goal is to buy one gimball that would last me a good 2 to 4 years before upgrading. I use mostly g master lenses, and I'd like to try to keep the gimball compact and not too heavy.
Thanks for sharing Brandon. Love you videos. You use Sony. I have a 6300. For longer film-shooting, what would be a solution for battery? Any rigs, or bigger external batteries which could support hours of film shooting?
Kind regards,
Armaghan
Very detailed review. Impressive 👍
hey brandon, very nice video, and thank for sharing whit us all this nice videos whit the gimballs, i've just watched your last video fro the weellab and the you did the vortex mode, and ill like to know if the moza air does the same thing, the is not really that important for, well ill just like to make some nice smooth cuts. thank you
Great review :) I wish it was a little more in details. Like quick comparisons with other gimbals and App options, ... but overall - great review checking out some of the new features.
Things that I will miss in this gimbal:
1. the slow let go after you turn it off. My Crane 2 does it and it keeps my lenses from hitting the gimbal
2. at least in the begining - dual handle
3. I am not sure does it connect to Sony cameras like having the Clear image zoom control, start/stop recording, charging while shooting?
And yes the weight - with the Ronin-S this is just too much of a weight to use with a mirrorless
Otherwise the calibration looks great. There were complains from the vibrating calibration in the Ronin-S because it can damage the IBIS in your camera. The Air 2 looks like it is not vibrating, only smooth shake.
The idea of changing the modes and smooth control on the speed - awesome! I have going to the app to do that.
Very nice video bro keep the good work going
Great review!
thanks for sharing your test!
Hey Brandon, thanks for sharing. I guess I've watched this video like 5 times by now, at least. It is just cool. I bought this gimbal as well-MOZA AIR 2. The problem is the Roll axis. If I balance to Roll-axix, the Roll-axis' Arm, can't rotate entirely as the Pan motor or let's say that main rod of the gimble just comes in the way. Is it normal, or have I purchased a faulty gimbal? It is my first time Gimbal exprerience, so pardon the. silly question!
Would really appreciate any quick reply so that I may return the Gimbal if it is not right. thanks a lot!
Hey Brandon! What do you think about Object Tracking function so that you have full (maximum) smooth ninja movement/awareness, while tracking the intended subject?
finaliyyyyy, i be waiting so longggg
Hands down best gimbal review on YT as always! One quick question, for an easy travel one lens setup, would you suggest the sony 24-105 f4 or Tamron 28-75 f28? Thanks Brandon!
I think 24-105 is a more useful range for travel shooting
@@BrandonLiUnscripted Thanks for the quick reply. Keep it up with all the great content!
@@BrandonLiUnscripted One additional question, what gimbal do you use for the combination of A7iii + 24-105 f4? I heard not a many gimbal can handle that.
YES! was wondering when you were going to review the Moza Air 2. looking to get this over the Ronin S. don't really mind the weight since doing mostly intermittent shooting. i like it since it can support both mirrorless and my FS5 if necessary. Ronin S is a pound or two heavier i think but I feel like the Moza gimbals offer better functionality in terms of dynamic shooting.
Nice review !
Look who’s back. 🤗
Hello Brandon! I really enjoy your videos. I have a bit difficult question. I am a pro photographer and record videos only for myself and some amateur work. I wanted to ask if you think there is a middle solution between dji ronin-s and movi freefly. I mean I want to use a gimbal with my phone plus with a light dslr and light lens. Mostly for timelapse - motion lapse and short videos. I hope you understand my question. Thank you.
haha loved it when you let your friend test it... just too show on how heavy it was. This might be the gimbal I would choose though.. or the Dji Ronin S
nice run! :)
Good review, thanks.
Still waiting for the release of your backpack ;). Great review!
amazing review
great review thank you. I wonder if it can stabilize a Nikon D850 + Nikkor 70-200mm lens ?
Finally a new video yea!
Your videos are cool and helpful man.... but you know what is better? Your gimbal run, it’s a cross between mission impossible run and cyclops arms holding the gimbal lol...impressive
Bahahahaha that ending note about going to the gym! 😂 toooo funny!
nice review keep it up
Well explained 🔥
that's how review is done!
Because of your videos I get into videography . Much appreciate . Btw moza air should pay you for this video cause is best them what they did of own product
Yay!! Brandon posted!!
Dream Gimbal
master of gimbal
finally back again, upload more another video please 😁
excellent video
Thank you and I bought one!
I am about to take this out with the bmpcc 6k in 110 degree vegas weather... I have only done the basics... after seeing this, I am in for it haha but stoked
Hey Brandon, I picked up the Weebill - which do you prefer between these two gimbals and why?
Thanks again for a great review that goes in depth of the equipment performance!
Could I ask what lav mic you're using? I couldn't find it on your gear list and at least it looks pretty sturdy.
Instamic
@@BrandonLiUnscripted Thanks for taking the time to reply!
What’s the lightest gimbal compatible with GH5 Sigma 18-35? Maybe like an Icecam Tiny 3 or Zhiyun Plus?
Hi Bradon will you consider testing the Zhiyun new release Weebill Lab gimbal? Your review is much more valuable then those unboxing or gimbal reviewer which is crap they all test gimbal with slow motion.
The best Brandon Li 👏👍🏽
Gimbal ninja beast !
