DEMO Moza Mini P All Modes Explained and Demonstrated Gimbal Stabilizer
This is an excellent handheld gimbal that can be used with a smartphone such as iPhone or Samsung Galaxy, an action camera such as the GoPro, or an actual mirrorless camera such as the Sony ZV-1. It is a full featured stabilizer, but understanding what all the features are and how they work can be a bit confusing. I made this instructional video guide to clearly illustrate exactly how each of the different stabilizing modes work and I show you both from the Camera View seeing how the modes affect the footage itself as well as from the gimbal view so you can see exactly how the gimbal is moving in each mode. Modes I cover: Sport Mode, Inception Mode, FPV Mode (aka First Person View) All Lock Mode, Tilt and Follow Mode, Pan and Follow Mode, Selfie Mode, and Return to Center.

Thank You so Much! Definitely the best video on the subject I've seen yet.
Here's a tip.. in inception mode, if you press the left button, it will rotate for you without holding the joystick, until you click it again.
Thanks. And that's a great tip! I'm gonna pin this at the top of comments for others. That makes inception mode much easier to use.
@@hollywoodfrodo Good tutorial. I have been able to apply the rules to my other gimbals. In addition to the inception mode, pressing the right button makes it rotate to the other direction.
@@activatedvisuals Thanks!
I'm looking to get a mini P and I've heard it can be used with camera, gopro AND phone. I'm curious how they all connect to the gimbal though. Do you have to recenter it when you switch devices?
You have NO idea how excited I was to find this video! Your explanations and descriptions clarified everything all in one video, and has me chomping at the bit for my Mini P to arrive!!! You are quite the inspiration!
I just got a Moza Mini P and had the same frustration at the lack of clear tutorials. Glad I stumbled on your video. Thanks for covering everything so thoroughly.
You're welcome! Glad you found it useful.
Thanks, I’ve been looking for weeks to find out how to use the gimbal. This is the only one I’ve seen that real explains clearly how to use the different modes. Will be able to use mine properly now.
I did the exact same thing. I was finally able to figure it out by piecing together information from many different videos. That's why I was determined to make one clear video so others wouldn't have to go through what I did. It's all really simple once someone explains it clearly.
@@hollywoodfrodo thank you. I was only using the default setting so i thought the gimbal was very limiting. Not anymore.
@@diegoe.4639 Glad it helped!
I've been using Moza Mini P with Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra (512gb), Android phone with Nillkin CamShield Armor case. For Android people out there, the gimbal works well with this setup, and I'm not using the Moza Genie or Moza Master -apps because I need mostly just the different stabilizing modes and joystick that this gimbal gives.
You don't even need to make a Bluetooth connection between your phone and the gimbal to use it as a stabilizer. The gimbal lets you use the following modes by just turning it on: FPV (default mode), Sport, Inception, All lock, Tilt and Follow, Pan and Follow, Selfie (turns 180°'s towards you), and Return to Center (double press on trigger button returns facing to normal). Gimbal lets you use the joystick to manually turn the facing where ever you want in any mode. You can also use the auto-calibration when you press "W" 3 times, it takes a while. So you can use all these modes with your Android phones native camera app. I guess the Moza Genie app might give you a little more tools for filming but it being only 30fps max capped on Android phones, I wouldn't bother trying to use it.
I'm going to buy a Ulanzi Iron ST-02S phone holder to replace the default plastic holder that comes with Moza Mini P. I think this is a smart thing to do so that you don't have to count on a plastic phone holder since it might brake your phone. Also I recommend using some kind of a wrist strap on the gimbal in case you drop it.
This video is very useful to check how the different modes operate.
Take your time to stabilize your phone with the gimbal at first. Do it properly so the gimbal motors can operate optimal. I recommend checking how to do this from various videos in youtube.
This is the best moza mini-p tutorial! I was looking for a tutorial for the mini-p that I purchased, watched several vdos but still had many questions on how they do it. This vdo tutorial cleared all those questions. Excellent on both demonstration and explanation!
Thanks for taking the time to say so! That's why I made the video. It took me forever piecing together info from so many different sources. I couldn't understand why there wasn't just one video that just explained and showed exactly what each mode does. Glad you found it helpful!
All I can say is sincere THANK YOU for this video. REALLY explained a lot!!!! These modes where such a mystery to me, seriously, but now I understand. Thanks!!!👍😀
Happy to help! They really are simple and useful once someone explains them well. I got so frustrated when I was trying to figure them out - that's why I decided to make the video. Have fun with all the new modes!
Thank you for providing such a detailed video of each of the modes. Very informative and appreciated the two perspectives.
You're welcome. Glad you found it helpful!
👍🏅THANK YOU! 🙏💝It’s a dang shame when a UA-camr user’s video is more clear than the dang manufacturer’s videos!😡
haha - yeah, I know - I had to watch the manufacturer's videos a dozen times and then some other random ones I found on YT before I got this all figured out.
@@hollywoodfrodo - 🙏I’m so glad you did because you help me and so many others immensely. Thank you. 🙏💝
Best video on gimbals, period! And, I've watched a lot of them. Thank you!
Thanks! Glad you found it helpful.
This was such a great tutorial, very appreciative of your time and effort!
Glad it helped! Thanks for taking the time to say thanks!
Perfect demonstration of the modes. Thank you!!
You're welcome. Glad you found it helpful.
Awesome... thank you, very helpful! You answered all my mode questions.
Glad you found it helpful.
Very cool! Thank you for making this video!
ur welcome - glad you found it helpful!
Thank you very much for taking the time to do this!
You're welcome - glad it helped.
Such a great video! Thank you so much! :)
Glad you found it helpful!
Ah, good work! This is great! A cheat sheet would be a nice compliment.
Good idea - If I can find the time, I'll try to add that.
Thank you so much for the info. I have been viewing many of these gimbals specially the mini-P as to how to operate and what it all means. Let me say how you made the most sensible way to operate. I am saving your video to look back from time to time to master it. Now I don’t need to look any further, thanks again you got five stars!
Thanks. That was my goal! Even I come back to this video myself if I forget what does what. :-) Glad you found it helpful too!
@@hollywoodfrodo Thanks, I will follow if you dig into of using the difference between a camera operation and a phone. I understand not all cameras will not respond to recording video, follow focus or snap shots and as well as iPhone or Android. You would believe no one nor the quick set up manual even mentions that a cable needs to be attach to the gimbal to control them. I had to find that out by watching a video on UA-cam and I said what's that cable sticking out from the camera. That's something I like to learn more.
Thx y I think this is the only video of it's kind on YT now...nicely explained to moza owners...I m making one for my channel too but I do reference your video...coz y did a lot of work and it's much appreciated...thx y
Glad you liked it!
Thank you for this video !

Thanks mate, really appreciate the effort.
ur welcome - hope it helped.
Thanks a lot! It was very helpful!
ur welcome - thanks for watching!
thanks. I needed this. the moza mini p is fairly simple to use.
Yeah, once you know how, it's fairly easy.
Super helpful!
This was great, thank you! They should be paying you for this, haha
I keep waiting for my check to show up in the mail... Glad you found it helpful!
Really informative video. Keep up the great content!
Thanks - glad you found it useful.
Dope bro needed this.....🤘🏾🤘🏾🤘🏾
Cool - glad it helped.
Thanks for the awesome video ... keep the great work 😉

Thanks so much, very useful video!
Happy to help.
Great job ! Thanks
You're welcome!
Muchas gracias, excelente tutorial
Glad you found it helpful!
thank you so much it's so helpful, even on the official website of moza you cant't find these explanations ! merci from France 😀
Glad you found it helpful!
Brilliant mate. 👍🏻 useful 👏
Glad I couldl help!
Great video. About time someone made a video
Thanks! There were a few out there, but none that just spelled everything out the way I needed - that's why I decided to make one after I learned how it all works.
Very helpful as I’m thinking of getting one at the end of this month (payday!).
Keep an eye out for it to go on sale. It does go on sale on Amazon from time to time either as a lightning deal or just a general sale - I think when I bought mine is was about $50 off the regular price.
Great video thank you.
ur welcome - happy to help
Thanks for sharing..... Looks like it would be great for a GoPro and iPhone Pro Max. Only one thing that's really needed for vlogging would be a nice flexible arm. I use the GoPro 3-way handle that places your arm down near your hip. With that setup you could actually vlog without anyone knowing your filming yourself. No need to be so close up and no handle to be seen. If there was an extension on the Moza Mini P that flexed up, I would buy it today. Thanks again for sharing..... Great job. 👍😊
Thanks - glad to help. Yeah, that could be a cool accessory!
Cool one. Thank you.
ur welcome
really helpful, thanks a lot
You're welcome!
tq tq tq..it help me so much.. with ur video i understand every thing about my first gimbal..moza mini p.. tq so much
You're welcome! This was my first gimbal too. And that's why I made the video - it took so much time and digging to get the basic info I wanted to make something that would show it all clearly and simply. Glad this helped!
Thank you, great tutorial! I just bought the Mini P MAX. Do you know what additional features it has?
Honestly, I do not know the differences. I have not taken the time to check out that newer version.
@@hollywoodfrodo regardless your tutorial is excellent and very helpful. The instruction manual it came with is pretty much useless, and its tiny print almost impossible to read for my old eyes.
Thank you for explanation for how gimbal woks! I'm in search of a light weight gimbal for Sony a7c. Moza Mini P is one of the first choice. Is Moza Mini P's L-bracket is compatible with Arca Swiss plate?
Glad you liked the vid. I can't tell 100% for sure if it'd be compatible with the Arca Swiss plate or not... Maybe. Without having one to try it with though I'm not positive. Sorry!
Outstanding video, have you found any more video's or demos on the Mini P Max, seems to be left out of most of the MOZA's information. About any info on using the top and right buttons on the Operation Button.
Thanks. No, I haven't really delved into the Max myself. Moza makes some of the best affordable gimbals, but I wish they had better deatailed and easy to follow how to videos to support them!
Thanks, you're great! Really useful. One question: when I enter inception mode, my iphone 13 pro max goes all the way to 180 degrees and then stalls. Do you think it's because the MOZA has a defect or is it too heavy? Have you tried this mode with a camera? Works? Since it should work up to 900 grams. And finally, does it also work with filmic pro Legacy? Thank you so much, indeed!
Glad you found it helpful. Your hone is definitely NOT too heavy for this. But check - it may be too large? Maybe it's getting caught on something??? You can use Filmic Pro while using this of course, but so far as I know the Moza Mini P doesn't have direct integration with Filmic Pro at all...
Thank you very much for your kind answer!😊
you are the best hi from Germany
Thanks! I have family living in Germany- hope to visit someday!
Thank you for sharing. I just have 1 question I turn mine on the camera goes to position then there’s a beeping sound and camera flips down. How do I get it to stay in the normal position
Sounds like you didn't balance it before turning it on. You have to balance the camera first. And that's not a quick easy process in the beginning. It takes me a good 10-15 mins - but I also have not had as much time as I wish to practice it and do it a lot. Pros say once you've done it repeatedly you get really quick at it. Anyway, you do have to manually balance the camera prior to turning it on - it will not work if the camera isn't properly balanced.
Is it possible to do time-lapse with this gimbal? Keeping it moving very slow while the camera is recording... great video, very useful!
Hi - I haven't yet had time to use this feature, but it does have that. You can use the Moza Genie App with your phone on the Gimbal if you want to do a time-lapse using your phone. If you want to do it with a camera, I believe you can - you'd set up the motion of the gimbal using the Moza Master app and set up the time-lapse stuff on the camera.
@@hollywoodfrodo sounds great! I will try it this weekend. Thanks
Thank you
ur welcome
I have a GoPro Hero9 Black, Can I use this to auto follow or focus on a subject while they are moving?
If you mean hands free auto-follow like if you wanted to film yourself moving around - no. This feature exist for use with a smartphone because you use the Moza Genie App to do the filming and the app can communicate to the Gimbal to control it and move it to follow a subject, but there isn't anything independent in the Gimbal itself to do that on its own.
Hi mate! It was easy to balance your smartphone with this gimbal? Thank you!
I wouldn't say "easy" but also not "difficult." Unfortunately, I have not had a lot of time to use it/practice so my feeling is if I were using it regularly with the phone, after a few weeks it probably would seem almost easy, but even without the experience, it wasn't too hard, just took more time since I'd only done it a few times.
I’m wondering if you can use it upside down to get close to the ground shots.
Kind of. Somewhat depends on what you have on the gimbal - you can't use it upside down 100% the same as you can rightside up, but you can definitely tilt the arm down to get good ground shots.
Hi, question please. In order to pair your phone with this device, does your location settings have to be turned on? Or only bluetooth?
I believe on most Android phones you have to have location turned on to pair. This is a security feature baked into Android.
@@hollywoodfrodo ok thank you
Can you charge your phone with this gimbal or with a powerbank when it's attached to the gimbal? It looks like the gimbal attachment piece blocks the charging port?
No, you can't use it to charge your phone. The Moza Mini Mi does have wireless phone charging built in.
@@hollywoodfrodo Actually I found a clip where someone moves their phone holder so that it leaves a narrow gap that you can place a charging cable. The structure allows you to move phone with Mini-P so that you can fix the balance by moving it on the other side of the bar. If the gap is very small one could also use a 90 degree USB-C cable to reach the phone charging port. Thanks for your answer, appreciated!
How's that in comparison with hohem isteady multi
Can you do a tutorial on calibration with genie and master etc? I am having issues with my s21 ultra and sudden vibrations from the gimbal even after been correctly balanced.
I might one day, but I wouldn't wait on it. :-) Things are just very busy right now and I haven't even gotten to use my gimbal near as much as I'd like. I'm not an expert with calibration and it still takes me a lot of time to do it. There are a few other vids on UA-cam I found and then it's always a lot of trial and error for me - supposed to get quicker the more you do it, but like I said I haven't had as much time as I wish to play with it lately.
@@hollywoodfrodo turns out just need to power the motor power and all great now
Hi, can the Moza mini P be used to charge your camera like the Zhiyun Crane M2?
I don't think so. You CAN use it to control your camera, but I don't believe it can charge/power the camera.
BEST !!
thanks
Does Moza Mini P support Gopro9?
Nice video, do you have traking mode? I'm on my own.
If you use the Moza app to do your filming, then yes, it does have tracking. I have not used it myself yet...
Yes on the App y can do tracking
this is awesome, thank you so much for the time you've put in to explaining this. Wish I'd have watched this prior to testing it out yesterday!
Question: I've been using a Galaxy S20+ for video, and when I go into inception mode and try to rotate 360, my camera focus locks so it doesn't actually turn in 360.
I know it's a phone setting, but have tried googling an answer, all I seem to be able to find is how to change the home screen or apps vertically or horizontal or how to shoot 360 panoramic. Do you know what I could search as an 'official' search term to turn this function off? I might need to shoot with a different app.
Glad you found it helpful! As for the S20+ issue, I'm sorry - I don't know. I have unfortunately not had as much time as I'd like to play with my gimbal myself and when I have used it it's mainly been with my camera, so I'm not sure why you're not getting the desired effect with inception mode.
very well explained. how to use mobile app with gimble ?
I haven't got around to tackling that myself yet. Maybe one day I'll find the time and then I can do a video for that too...
can we zoom out or zoom in with the gimble controls
With some cameras you can control some basic controls such as zoom by connecting to the gimbal with a data cord.
Can you use all these gimbal modes without using the Moza Genie app? I have S21 Ultra and I want to use 4k 60fps, and not the crap 30 fps that the Moza app allows for Android phones. How am I limited with this gimbal if I'd use the phone native camera app with it or something like Filmic Pro?
Everything in the video you can do without using the Genie App. The gimbal is a full service gimbal with physical controls for all main gimbal moves. The Genie App just gives you some extra things you'd only be able to do with an app, but the main functions of the gimbal are controlled by buttons on the gimbal itself and not through the app, so you can definitely use the S21 Built in recorder or Filmic Pro along with this.
@@hollywoodfrodo Thanks a lot for this very clearing answer, really appreciate your help! All these gimbal apps give us Android users only max 30fps so you can't really use them if you want nice quality video. I ordered this gimbal now after doing lots of research for which gimbal would be the best for Android (S21 Ultra) phone. I don't want a gimbal that says it supports max 300g weight because it sounds like the motors wont work long. Moza Mini-P on the other hand looks promising, bigger with good structure and supports large amount of weight.
@@Kalevanpoika I have an S21 and just installed the Genie app this week and it has a pro mode where you can set it to 24 fps.
I've been trying to balance an android phone vertically but can't seem to be able. Can you help?
There are other videos out there that show you how to balance with this gimbal. I just watched all those I could find (including the official ones from Moza) and then it's just trial and error and practicing. I am not great at it myself yet so it takes me a while to get it balanced. The more you do it, the faster you get at it...
Does this apply to the max as well
I dunno since I don't have that one. From the bit I've seen most of their gimbals follow the same general rules, but not 100%...
Hey 👋.
I know dumb question. But does this charge your camera
No. Not a dumb question - there are gimbals that have that feature... This can connect to your camera and control some basic functions, but will not charge it.
My centre point changed toward left side. How to fix it so that it can come at centre. Again as default.
If you just want to return it to center, you click the trigger twice. If your center has gotten off so when you do that what it returns to is not true center, then the best thing to do is set it down on the tripod on a level surface and turn it off, make sure it's balanced, then turn it on again to reset it.
Will this work with a phone that has a case on it.
Yes. My iPhone 13 Pro Max with Leather Case works.
Аs the owner of the device, I like it ;)
Can you do a vertical video?
Yes, you can flip the L bracket that holds the phone/camera in order to film in vertical mode. Of course that does require re-balancing for it.
Thank you, for your time and effort!
You’re welcome. Glad you found it helpful.
How do you get to verticle
You have to mount the camera or phone vertical. You can switch from one to the other without remounting (and therefore re-balancing).
Why out of hundreds of videos about this gimbal no one explained how to pair it to camera or phone. To use the zoom buttons or shooting and stop button it should have a connection to the actual camera but how to connect it to camera?
Well, this video is specifically about the modes. The Zoom & Film/Stop buttons depends on the camera or phone. Doesn't work with all of them in some default way because each camera is different. It can control that for some cameras I think, but not most. The bluetooth pairing mode for phones is fairly simple and explained in the manual and if you use the app they recommend you can use the buttons to control various recording options...
I’m pressing the trigger three times and it’s not going to selfie mode which is mostly what I bought it for. Ugh. I’ve tried everything. 😵💫😵💫😵💫
Hmmm... Have you updated to the latest firmware? Make sure you install the Moza Master app and do that. (Instructions here: store.gudsen.com/pages/faq-moza-mini-p) That might be the issue? Hopefully... If it doesn't work after the firmware update or you've already done that, then time to contact Gudsen and/or return to store for replacement. I haven't had any issues with mine not working for selfie mode.
How did you activated all lock mode ?
You pull the trigger twice and the second time you hold it. So click - click - hold. You have to keep holding it to remain in all lock mode. As soon as you let go, it returns to default mode.
@@hollywoodfrodo Thanks ! I wasn´t holding the trigger, now I know
@@hollywoodfrodo new sub !
@@rrich2709 No worries - glad I could help!

Beware of Scams
A little clarification maybe...
