Ahoj! I have reviewed Moza Mini-P gimbal on this channel in November 2020.
I've used it to film one of the favorite Mustang B-roll videos.
I'll think it below.
Moza is back with an upgraded version
called Moza Mini-P Max.
I have reviewed other three in one gimbals on this channel
and from all those gimbals I actually reviewed,
this one has the best apps when it comes to filming
with smartphones and mirrorless cameras.
It has more options.
Let's do in-depth review.
And if you are new here, welcome.
My name is Zdenka Darula. This channel is all about photography
and video, creative camera challenges, hidden giveaways and vlogs.

This is the older version
Moza Mini-P and this is the new version
Moza Mini-P Max.
First of all, each axis motor has now lock,
so you can stabilize the camera or smartphone easier.
That is quite standard with all newly released gimbals.
The body of the gimbal is pretty much the same as before.
They only changed the look of it.
It is now certainly easier to see all the buttons.
The major change is happening at the top.
They made the arm stronger so it can handle a bit more.
They also added a quick release plate.
This is a very welcomed update
as now you can easily remove your camera if you need to.
For the smartphone, it is the same as before.
You just take it off from the clamp.
Payload has been also increased from 900 grams to one kilogram.
Minimum payload is 130 grams.
The gimbal is foldable so you can nicely fit it into a backpack
or included carry back.
Moza Mini-P Max also comes with a carry bag,
type-C charging cable, another cable
to connect Sony cameras and clamps to attach smartphones.
If you have other cameras such as Canon and Panasonic,
you have to buy the cable separately.
The gimbal weighs 710 grams.
Charging time is 3 hours.
And once the battery is fully charged, you will get up to 20 hours
from this gimbal.
The mirrorless camera I'm going to be using with
this gimbal is Canon M6 Mark II and I happen to have a cable here,
so I'm going to connect it. Just to give you a heads up,
Canon cameras are the only ones where you cannot use
the record button on the gimbal to start and stop recording.
You can do that with all other cameras such as Sony.
The balancing I found very easy with the newly added locks.
Let's go straight to stabilization test with the Canon camera.
Here is regular walk, soft and ninja walk
and full speed run.
Let's move on to the smartphone.
I'm going to be using iphone 13 pro.
Since this gimbal can handle up to one kilogram payload,
you can load it with extra lenses and filters, you name it.
The only thing is that every time you are going to add
something, you have to rebalance that gimbal manually.
I'm going to be using their app called Moza Genie to perform
a stabilization test.
In the app, you can select different levels of stabilization.
You have a choice of standard, cinematic and automatic,
which will take you to extended movie level.
I'm going to go with automatic.
Let's do a hard walk
soft ninja walk
and full speed run.
I must admit that I always liked stabilization on this gimbal
with smartphones, it's smooth.
Let's check out the main interface of the gimbal.
Although the look of this interface has been redesigned, no screen has been added.
What they did, though, is the light here.
You will know that you changed mode
if the colors of the light changes or starts flashing,
You still have to memorize what each button does,
so this is still quite outdated when you compare it
to all the other newly released three in one gimbals.
Power button is here.
Long press to turn it on and off.
Short press is to put the gimbal to sleep mode.
This is where you charge it.
The joystick button is a typical joystick.
The more you press, the faster the gimbal will move the camera.
When you turn on
the gimbal, you will be in pan follow mode.
If you press trigger and hold, you will be in tilt
follow mode.
If you press trigger three times and hold,
you will be in all locked mode.
To get to FPV mode,
you will press this left button two times and you will get out of it
the same way.
If you double press the bottom button, you will be in sports
mode.
If you press three times, you will get to inception mode
where you get the beautiful continuous rotation
movement.
Zoom buttons are here on the side.
If you want to recenter gimbal, you will double press the trigger
and if you want to spin the camera around to a selfie mode,
you will press three times.
The range of motion of this gimbal is quite large.
Tilt and roll is 330 degrees and pan is full
continuous movement 360 degrees.
Where the gimbal
scores high points are, the apps. Lets check out first
the Moza Genie app, which is for smartphones.
With iPhone, you will get filming in 24, 30
and 60 frames per second in a 4K, 1080 P and 720 P.
If you want to film in 120 and 240 frames per second,
you can do it and 1080 P or 720 P.
You can film in automatic and manual mode.
Zoom is unfortunately purely digital.
You cannot switch between lenses. In the settings
you can turn on camera light, grid, choose
aspect, ratio, select safe area.
You can livestream, choose what stabilization you prefer and enable
many things.
Recording Reminder Flashing, Silent Recording,
Recording Noise reduction, recording gain, mixed background music,
volume key recording, spirit level, overexposure tips, full screen review,
and here you can also reset all settings. Under gimbal controls
you can choose how fast you want to zoom to happen
when you press automatic zoom. You can also save current parameters,
you can restore factory defaults, and here
you can also calibrate your gimbal. Next to settings
you have filters.
There is quite a large selection there.
Let's test tracking mode.
All right.
So I selected myself for tracking
and it
loses me here and there.
So for slow tracking, it works
great.
But if you're going to be moving
very fast, I'm finding that here and there, actually now it's holding well.
Maybe depends.
Not bad..
Not bad...
It's actually quite good now.
Now tracking is pretty good.
Here I go.
On the other side of the gimbal
you can switch between rear and front cameras
and you can enable gesture control. Shooting modes are photo,
video, timelapse, motion, timelapse and slow motion.
If you have an Android phone, you might run into some limitations
depending on what Android phone you have.
They're all very different.
If you ask me if your phone is compatible with this gimbal,
I won't know the answer.
It is best to ask Moza directly.
However, I do have Samsung Galaxy
S10+ here, so let's check out the app.
What the limitations are.
You're not going to get 24 frames per second in automatic mode,
but in manual mode only. You can only film at 30 frames per second
in automatic mode.
In manual mode, you can also film in 120 and 240 frames per second.
In slow motion mode, you can film two times,
four times and eight times slow motion.
And when it comes to stabilization, you're only going to get one level.
If you are going to use an actual camera with this gimbal,
you can use Moza Master app
to get further creative options. At the top
you can see the battery level.
You can use a smartphone as a remote control.
You can control gimbal settings, adjust motor parameters,
calibrate the gimbal and save configurations.
Creative video offers motion timelapse, track recording,
variable speed time lapse, object
tracking and fixed point time lapse.
You can check if the gimbal is properly balanced
and you can link this gimbal with Moza Slypod.
This gimbal has some great features and very welcomed updates.
The only downside to this gimbal
is that you cannot mount the camera
or smartphone in vertical mode only in horizontal like this.
That's it.
When I was filming the Mustang video with a previous version of Moza
Mini-P and my smartphone, I chose to film with this gimbal
because of the payload, the motor strength, the stabilization,
and simply how it feels when you use it.
It feels very sturdy.
I wasn't filming in a Moza Genie app.
I was using Filmic Pro back then.
I'm glad this new updated version is out.
