Moza Mini is a high-end but quite affordable smartphone gimbal that you can get now; it offers you smooth stabilization, a simple interface, various fun effects and shooting modes, a high smartphone weight limit, and a very comfortable and portable design. Well, its app is a bit confusing, it also limits endpoint range, and the build quality of this gimbal could also be improved a bit. However, let’s take a brief overview of this device and try to find out whether it’s a valuable product or not.

When it comes to smartphone gimbals, two names automatically come; DJI and Zhiyun. However, they are not alone; many other small manufacturers are also there in the market that offer great products at an affordable price range. Moza is one of them. Moza Mini Essential is a fantastic smartphone gimbal, and it’s capable enough to sway you away from the big brands.

Moza Mini S Essential offers you three-axis stabilization (pan, tilt, and roll), a 2,200mAh battery that can easily last up to 8 hours, and the ability to hold up to 498g. The battery of this gimbal gets charged completely in 1.5 hours.

The best ...
... thing about this gimbal is its ability to hold weight. Well, if you compare other gimbals, such as Zhiyun Smooth 4, and DJI Osmo Mobile 3, they can’t hold that much weight. The DJI Osmo Mobile 4 can hold up to 230g, but it’s twice as costly as Moza Mini S Essential, and it’s not even near to Moza Mini S Essential in terms of weight holding capacity. Besides that, this gimbal has an impressive design, a balanced body, and an ergonomic grip.

You can easily use this gimbal to shoot long videos. It is very compatible too, and you can carry it even in a small box.

In terms of stability, the Moza Mini S Essential gives you a very smooth and fast experience. You can easily shoot action shots with this gimbal. It doesn’t have so many buttons; that is another plus point for this gimbal; you will easily get used to it. Additionally, it boasts some cinematic presets to help you shoot your videos using cool angles and effects. It even includes the ability to add filters, use features, track objects, create time-lapse, shoot slow-motion videos, and more.

What I did not like about Moza Mini S Essential is the Moza app. The app’s interface is a bit confusing, and you will have to spend a lot of time in order to understand it. Besides that, you will have to connect your device manually each time you want to access the app. Even the shooting modes on the app overlap the recording button.

It undoubtedly offers great stabilization, but there are some limitations. You can pan only up to 270 degrees, tilt up to 200 degrees, and roll up to 315 degrees. So keep in mind that while shooting videos, you might feel that you reach limits too quickly. However, the build quality of the gimbal is decent.

Conclusion Well, Moza Mini S Essential is definitely not a perfect gimbal, but if you compare its price and features, it’s definitely a value-for-money product. So in this price range, this is an excellent option, and I would definitely recommend you buy it. That’s all for this article. Thank you for reading it
