In fact, there are only 1 useful stabilizers between you and online celebrities.

IT 168 Evaluation With the popularity of smart phones, mobile phones have now become the most fashionable and popular shooting equipment, and there is no one. Many mobile phone manufacturers at home and abroad are vigorously developing the camera function of mobile phones. Of course, in addition to taking photos, relying on the hot popularity of smart phones and the emerging trend of network communication, countless hot industries have been derived, among which the live broadcast industry is the hottest and tightest emerging industry.

But there's nothing to say here, because mobile phones are mainly mobile, so they are definitely not as stable as professional camera equipment, such as SLR or mirrorless cameras. However, smart humans will always try their best to solve any pain point, so for the stability of mobile phones, various mobile phone stabilizers have appeared on the market since a few years ago, and today we are going to introduce this one, Moza Mini-C, which is the most versatile and intelligent handheld stabilizer I have ever come into contact with.

MOZA, also known as Talon, is a product of Wuhan Gusheng Technology Co., Ltd. In addition to mobile phone stabilizers, MOZA also has professional stabilizers supporting SLR and stabilizers supporting different devices such as Gopro and mobile phones. But today we are mainly talking about the latest Moza Mini-C.

Advantages:

1. Excellent workmanship and humanized design.

2. Rich stable modes to meet all shooting needs.

3. Support applications to make products smarter.

4. High cost performance

Disadvantages:

1. The handle length can be made shorter.

Buying guide:

First of all, talk about the price of this product. The current official selling price is 1.399 yuan. Compared with the price of Zhiyun and DJI mobile phone stabilizer at the same level, it is competitive in price at first, while MOZA Mini-C is almost rich and practical in function, with almost no major shortcomings, which can make ordinary photographers, video workers and various anchors feel better.

Humanized design and excellent workmanship.

The structure of the mobile phone stabilizer MOZA Mini-C is the same as other stabilizers, which adopts three stages, namely, the bottom handle, the middle control area, and the pitch, roll and heading motors and the mobile phone clip on it. The whole mobile phone stabilizer weighs about 475g (including battery), the handle part is non-slip, and there is no pressure to hold it with one hand.

But although the structure is similar, the really good design will still be reflected in the details. For example, the most important part of the mobile phone clip, MOZA Mini-C adopts two rotating elastic structures.

The upper small turntable is used to adjust the width of the mobile phone clip, and the lower large turntable can adjust the lateral position of the mobile phone clip through tightness, so that the weight balance can be adjusted conveniently when matching different types of mobile phones.

In addition, although this product is a handheld mobile phone stabilizer, considering more shooting environments, this product can also be held in a handheld &; The wearing mode can be switched quickly. We only need to turn the adapter ring of the handle to switch from hand-held mode to wearing mode.

Unscrew the cover at the bottom of the handle and you can see the power battery of the whole stabilizer. The battery capacity is 2600mAh. According to the official data, it can last for more than 8 hours, while it takes about 5 hours to fully charge a battery.

When the battery is dead, we can charge it in two ways. One is to use a special charger.

Another method is to plug the battery into the data interface of the fuselage through randomly distributed USB cables without taking it out.

The central control area of MOZA Mini-C has three main control buttons, a translucent circle as the main power button, and a larger five-way rocker on it, through which the direction of the pitch motor and the heading motor can be controlled.

If you don't look carefully, it may be easy to ignore this slider on the edge of the handle. The main function of this lever is to control the zoom of the mobile phone. Of course, we will talk about this function later.

Rich stable mode intelligence is the biggest bright spot.

Maybe many friends will panic when they first touch the mobile phone stabilizer, and they don't know how to use it, but in fact all the functions of the stabilizer are centered on stability.

1. Install the mobile phone

First of all, we need to loosen the screw at the back of the mobile phone clip, so that the mobile phone bracket can open enough space. Insert the mobile phone into the bracket, align the left side with the pitch motor, and then lock the fixed knob of the mobile phone.

When the left and right sides are unbalanced, loosen the fixed knob of the mobile phone bracket and the fixed knob of the mobile phone, and move the mobile phone bracket to the lighter end to reach the level. Record the scale on the leveling arm for reuse.

MOZA Mini-C supports the following models: iPhone7 Plus, iPhone7, iPhone 6S Plus, iPhone 6S, iPhone 6, iPhone SE, iPhone 5S, iPhone 5, Samsung S7, Huawei P9 and Sony Z5.

Open the power supply

After the mobile phone is leveled, press and hold the power button, and then it is time to witness the miracle.

3. Vertical and inverted modes

Generally, we shoot horizontally with a mobile phone, but as mentioned at the beginning, the demand for vertical composition methods such as self-timer and live broadcast is increasing, and the stabilizer MOZA can easily switch to vertical mode.

We only need to tilt the fuselage sideways more than 45, and then the horizontal roller automatically rotates 90 to switch to the vertical shooting mode. Then continue to rewind more than 45, and it will automatically switch to the reverse mode.

4. Real-time mode

The live broadcast mode is also a very grounded function of MOZA Mini-C, which is definitely a very practical function for many anchors. The live broadcast function is actually similar to the vertical function, but it is not exactly the same. If you want to use the vertical mode, you must first rotate the phone holder by 90, and then hold the phone. Then repeat the actions of leveling and opening some columns, and you can use the vertical stable shooting.

5. Three shooting modes

The five-way rocker we mentioned before is the most important part to control the whole stabilizer. Here we can start three shooting modes through this five-way rocker. The following three modes are introduced through different demonstrations.

① Click: Switch to course following mode.

In this mode, when the handle is down 90, through the adjustment of the motor, the mobile phone clip will always keep shooting in one direction, that is, always keep the same heading, which is more suitable for shooting the following picture.

② Double-click: Switch to full-follow mode.

In this mode, no matter how you shake the stabilizer, the direction of the phone holder and the handle will eventually remain parallel. Even as the GIF demonstration above shows, it will be leveled slowly through the adjustment of the motor. This mode is more suitable for taking some pictures from top to bottom.

③ Long press: Switch to full lock mode.

This all-lock mode is awesome, which is a truly stable nose mode. In this mode, no matter how you move, the shooting direction will be locked in the same direction, which is very suitable for some common surround shooting, and of course it is also very practical for interviews with some people.

6. Support applications to make products smarter.

Intelligence should be the biggest highlight of this stabilizer. MOZA has specially developed a MOZA assistant APP for its stabilizer equipment. After the phone is paired with Bluetooth, you can shoot and zoom through the buttons on the handle by opening the MOZA Assistant APP.

As we mentioned before, there is a zoom lever at the handle. This is the function of starting this zoom after connecting Bluetooth to open the APP.

In addition, in the application, double-click this five-way button to switch the phone back and forth between the front and rear cameras.

In addition to these functions, this APP has many functions, such as correcting the stabilizer and adjusting the motor speed. It can be said that after using this APP well, you can adjust a stable mode that is most suitable for your personal usage habits according to your own usage habits.
