Moza announced Moza Air 2S Steadicam, the successor to its popular electronic Moza Air 2 camera gimbal, not only adding to the name of the letter S but its 3200 mAh battery, which is capable of recording time up to 20 hours, as well as a USB charging.
The Moza Air 2S steady cam can stabilize a camera weighing up to 4.2 kg, which will be just right for most mirrorless and DSLR cameras, even including some movie cameras. Air 2S can work 20 hours (instead of 16 in the previous model) and can charge much faster – only 2 hours instead of 5 hours. However, the gimbal video itself is slightly heavier at 1.75kg, which is 150g more than the Air 2.
New to the Air 2S Steadicam is an intelligent wheel that allows you to conveniently and accurately steer pan, tilt, zoom, and focus, the latter with the optional iFOCUS lens control system. A wide variety of attachments can be attached to the gimbal with Arri Rosette mounts, cold shoe mounts, M4 mounting holes, and a universal extension arm. Thus, right out of the box, additional monitors, pens, light bulbs, smartphones, and other creative gadgets can be attached to the Air 2S gimbal camera, which was not available, for example, in conjunction with the DJI Ronin RSC2, in which cunning engineers did not provide such an opportunity out of the box. True, other equally cunning Chinese craftsmen immediately released a huge number of adapter plates for RSC2 for every taste and wallet,
How convenient the axle lock is for storage, you understand only after working with many steady cam models. The Moza Air 2S has such a lock, in addition, there is another useful option – the camera gimbal allows you to save user settings for different cameras so that you do not have to reconfigure it every time you turn it on. It is so convenient that you want to jump off the spot and have already run to buy a Steadicam.
Like the Air 2, the Air 2S is equipped with a One-Step Balancing quick release plate that is compatible with Manfrotto plates, this allows you to shoot from both the Steadicam and from a tripod on the same shooting day without the constant twisting of the plates, which can even the most relaxed operator.
Shooting modes include object tracking, sport, and FPV modes, as well as a motion simulation mode that allows you to independently control each axis using a smartphone.
Moza Air 2S price and availability
Moza Air 2S price is $499 and is now available to pre-order through Bhphotovideo.com. The contents of the package are impressive, and on the whole, this Steadicam will look like a very attractive purchase. At least it already looks attractive for testing. We are waiting for the test.
