While the gimbal can handle the weight of a smaller digital cinema camera, it hasn’t really been designed for that purpose. Gudsen Moza Air 2 is a 3-axis gimbal lets you capture smooth, shake-free handheld video with your mirrorless or DSLR.

The Moza Air 2 uses four Li-ion 18650 replaceable batteries that the company claims will provide a maximum runtime of 16 hours.Edit: actually people are saying that the dc-dc IC converter inside the gimbal is enough to power many other accessories but the bmpcc draws too much power and it can break the circuit itself. I got mine from tobydeals which sent me the old 12V version but gudsen was nice enough to exchange it for the 16. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average.

The long battery life, the reliable follow focus, the overall robust and well designed gimbal make this stabilizer a great choice for professional cameraman and filmmakers who need to use big cameras on long shooting days and don’t mind the extra weight and size of a bigger gimbal. The Hand Unit has a large focus wheel that has been designed with ridges on the side which makes it easier to grip. This is handy because you can go from having the gimbal do very quick movements to a lot slower ones (or vice versa) by simply moving this dial.The follow focus works well both with cinema glass as well as with photo lenses but takes a few minutes to setup. I like how the back support arm that connects the roll and the tilt axis has been angled down so you can clearly see the back screen of your camera.

If you have any of the axis unlocked, you can simply hold the trigger down on the front of the handle and all the axis go back to being locked. This can make a motorised camera gimbal an attractive option for anyone looking to improve their handheld video shooting capability. Intuitive controls An intelligent OLED display provides intuitive information feedback, accurately indicates the gimbal status, and helps adjust the gimbal and camera parameters. I found the Moza Air 2 performed well at doing its primary function of creating smooth, stable, and usable shots.One handle gimbals have their limitations, and what you sacrifice in performance, you make up for in usability and portability.

You need to use this if your camera is too short to balance the tilt axis, the lens is too short to install the follow focus, or if the follow focus needs to be installed on a zoom lens. The good thing about having a longer handle is it does make getting underslung or briefcase style shots a lot easier and your back will thank you.

Last time I checked the batteries have a 6-month warranty so if you bought the gimbal within the last six months, and bought it new, you should still be under the warranty period. My question was really about runtime with the Moza's 4 18650 batteries inside powering the Pocket 4K without a battery.
