The young Chinese brand Gudsen famously jumped into the market of camera stabilizers, and after a while expanded the range with models for smartphones with the MOZA Mini line. And if the first Mini-Mi model was a test of water, then the MOZA Mini-S, released in 2019, is much more like a full-fledged stabilizer for SLR cameras. And at the same time it is quite inexpensive.
Improved Design
First, the improvements affected the design. With the help of the universal mount, MOZA Mini-S made friends with tripods. Moreover, the tripod is included. Also, the stabilizer was equipped with a telescopic handle, which allows you to increase the length of the stabilizer up to 43 cm. It turns out a good alternative to a selfie stick. In addition to everything, the design has become more thoughtful, it is easier to fold it and hide it in a case for transportation.
Telescopic handle
MOZA Mini-S can work with smartphones weighing up to 260 grams and not more than 88 mm wide. That is, almost any popular camera phone like the Galaxy S10 or Huawei P30 Pro. However, the stumbling block here will not be the dimensions, but firmware updates that allow you to add support for new smartphones. At the time of the announcement at the end of 2018, the MOZA Mini-S list of supported smartphones did not look very modern: iPhone X and younger, Huawei P10, Samsung Galaxy S8, Xiaomi Mi and Mi MIX 2. The firmware is constantly updated, but some models from the DxOMark top are still so far not on the list.
Controls smartphone camera directly
However, this is not just the case. The fact is that MOZA Mini-S can directly control the smartphone's camera via Bluetooth or microUSB. But this integration takes time. As for the controls, on the front of the handle you can find a standard four-position and several quick access buttons for changing the position of the camera, shooting vertical video and switching shooting modes (there is hyperlapse, selfie, axis lock and other “older” stabilizer modes). In general, setting up the stabilizer takes a matter of minutes and does not require additional tools and skills.
Restriction on the angles of rotation and inclination
Against the background of all this, a small drawback of the model is the limitation of the angles of rotation and tilt, which can create problems when shooting from some particularly difficult angles. Although, the question here is how much is needed when recording video from a mobile phone.
