Moza Air 2 vs DJI Ronin S - Gimbal Showdown and Review
Вставка
- Опубліковано 3 січ 2025
- The Moza Air 2 has become a super popular alternative to the DJI Ronin S.. but how to they compare in a side by side comparison? Which gimbal should you get for youtube? What about for professional filmmaking, or traveling? I ran a gamut of tests and compared pretty much everything I could think of, and threw in some example footage from both gimbals, side by side. This test took a few days and is one of the more in depth videos I've done.

What's your favorite gimbal these days, and why? Oh, and check out the XT3 if you haven't already... it's an insane camera that no one's talking about for some reason. ua-cam.com/video/J6UqCham3FM/v-deo.html
great video, i'm currently using the Ronin-S . Totally agree about the Fuji XT-3, its and amazing camera for the value. I Actually just bought a second, lol.
@@RayPetty Thanks! Yeah.. it's a sleeper for sure. Still can't believe people aren't talking about it very much yet.
I'm looking for more reviewers to evaluate the new Feiyutech AK4500 to these two gimbals, because, to me, it is like a hybrid of the other two and more. It has a fantastic screen menu, 10 pound payload, the side multi wheel can control any of it's axis/ a follow focus or camera motor driven focus, and it's killer feature is it includes a wireless mimic style remote that can also attach as a rear handle.
@@billyoung9538 Great suggestion. I'll see if I can get one into the studio.
The battery Door on the moza just needs you to squeeze the handle a little and that latch opens very easily. it doesn't require force, just a little fineness.
Also you can set motion point on the moza as well.
I have had the Moza Air 2 for a 1 year and it is brilliant and never let me down. Keep the firmware updated!
Do you have the issue he said at 2.30 minutes about the motors disengaging?
One thing to consider is Moza air can only be serviced in China. And they will not pay if the issue with your gimbal is user error. Also do not, I repeat do not leave your batteries in the Moza Air. They will drain and you will have to buy new ones. Just check the FB group, its a major issue.
Great review! Owning the Moza Air 2 and having a friend with the Ronin-S I would agree with all the points you have made. I did however notice that DJI has come out with a command unit so you can set parameters on the gimbal without the app, I haven't seen it used personally yet and it does add extra weight and expense. It's interesting how quickly Gudsen makes subtle changes to the Moza Air 2. My version from about 6 months ago does not have the rubber bumpers on the second axis arm. And what @Shawn Brooks said about the battery door - plus you can easily swap out the batteries while the gimbal is fully rigged up sitting on the tripod stand. I think they are both excellent choices minor differences and if you own either one, you've got a great film making tool!
That’s interesting. I’m looking forward to the AirCross2 and slypod.. coming up soon!
I had the same issue with the door handle on the moza air 2. Squeeze the battery door and then you can easily unlock it
Bruh. Lifesaver.
Do you have the issue he said at 2.30 minutes about the motors disengaging?
Clearly explained! Unbiased. Honest!
I've been on the fence. I've been using the dji ronin-m for a few years and looking for something easier to travel with. Your review helped a lot!
If you have a light camera and also want usb charging, check out my review on the Moza AirCross 2. Loving what Moza is doing lately
Sold the Ronin S for the Moza Air 2S and love it! The app has been updated, it can do so much more now!
I have a feeling the Moza will have more longevity than the Ronin-S due to the Ronin being so dependent on the app that's bound to have it's support discontinued or lessened at some point to make you buy upgraded models.
Great comparo of the 2 with nice demo footage to illustrate your points. Well done. Thank you.
Thanks for the details especially the practical, coz am looking forward to get myself a gimble
Dude what kind of glasses do you have. Those are straight swag. Very easy to watch thanks for the great review. Hard to know what the difference is in all these.
Haha thanks. Just done Ralph Lauren frames, picked up straight from LensCrafters lol
Tommy Callaway thabks I was actually serious because I am looking for some new frames. I’m subbing
Gerald Undone sent me here! Great content, u got a new sub!
Thanks man :) welcome to the channel!
think you may have a balance issue with the barrel roll mode. my ronin s rolls very smoothly
I would agree with most everything you said. And to get the battery door open easier, squeeze the handle, the button then has no pressure and opens easily. The batteries always take some fidgeting though :D
The only issue I have is that there's no text in this video to layout both gimbals--which makes the comparison super confusing.
Moza Air 2 seems easiest like you said, without saying that DJI Ronin is a bad choice. Pretty similar to me. Thx for the review.
Agreed, thanks for watching!
With the latest firmware updates, any chance you can do a side-by-side test of the active tracking (object tracking) & force mobile (mimic) features? Mechanically I prefer the Moza, but for the music videos that I shoot, a solid object tracking feature would be very useful, especially when I mount the gimbal on my 12ft crane.
By the way, I've been shooting on the X-T3 since it came out, and it's an excellent b-camera to my Ursa Mini a-cam.
Bruh, this was a excellent video. MOZA air 2 it is
Thanks man! Really put some work into this one. :)
Thank you for this very useful and thorough comparison with real examples. I am using the xt3 on a gimbal and I notice a lot of "stutter" or jumping frames when doing camera movement (panning for instance), more stutter than with other cameras. Did you notice any stutter with the Fuji X-T3?
Nope. Make sure your timeline settings in your editor are the same as your xt3 frame rate. 24 is different than 23.98 and will cause weird issues.
If you squeeze the handle on the moza air 2, you can easily press the button to open the battery. No screwdriver needed.
Do you have the issue he said at 2.30 minutes about the motors disengaging?
Is there any way to have track points setup on the Moza Air 2 like MAKE.ART.NOW did with the Ronin S?
Sorta... but only in time lapse mode. I couldn’t get it to work.
Gerald Undone shows how to do it. He was using in the context of macro shots but the same principles apply.
Do you have any idea if moza air 2 can accommodate a camcorder like sony ax700?
I have a sony a7III, a atomos ninja V, tamron 17-28 and 28-75 and I'm looking at those 2 gimbal and I'm wondering which one would be best for me? I looked at a couple of your video and in one of the video the ronin s is the winner and in this one it's the moza. Thank you for your videos and help
I want to decide between the Moza AIR 2 and the DJI Ronin-S. There is a
new feature in the Ronin-S which is called "Force Mobile". For me this
is a killer feature! Will the AIR 2 get this feature too?
Hello,
When I turn on my Moza Air 2, it displays an error message that says "ERROR! (02)".
How do I resolve this problem? I have a professional shoot on Friday and I really need to fix this.
Thank you
Feiyu AK4500 would have been a more fairer comparison instead of Ronin S, I would have thought, cheers Tommy
Perhaps that one will be next!
Easy to assemble, good strong materials, feels good, looks good.
Thanks for a very good video about these two gimbals. I have dji Osmo 3 for my mobile phone that has been fantastic for me, and now I want a gimbal for my Bmpcc4k. Can you tell me anything about Moza Air cross 2? /Niklas
Really thanks for the video. kust a question plz give your thought on which is better moza air2 or moza airx, i have sony a7iii with 70-200GM, and 16-35GM Lens
I have 70d cannon, and I am planning to get a gimbal, but I am debating between Ronin S or Moza air 2, what do you recommend between two? Thanks in advance
Between those two? Ronin S. I did a bigger comparison with more gimbals recently also - consider the aircross 2, it's my favorite.
For 6d markii which one is better ronin s or moza air 2 ?
After a long time using both of these, I think you’ll be happier with the Ronin s, or possibly the AirCross 2 is you want something not so heavy.
@@TommyCallaway so you like the ronin s more than moza air2?
what about compability with Small-Rig's ?
Can I use a bmpcc 6k on moza air 2?
Yes you can use Bmpcc 4k and 6k
What's DGI? 😜
i wanna see a comparison between ronin sc and moza aircross 2....no one has done it yet
I think i have a friend i can collab with on that one.. i'll keep you up to speed. :)
Aircross 2 hhmmm
Will be in my studio in the next couple weeks. 🤘🏻review soon, with the slypod.
@@TommyCallaway Brill, will look forward to your opinions.
