Issues
Here is a list of issues that bother me… just me. It might not be a problem for you.
- Motor Arm Obstruction – In Ultra Wide Camera Mode on the Samsung Galaxy S10, I see the roll motor in the scene. The remedy is to push the phone to the left in the folder. The phone will not be centralized in the phone holder but it manages operate without problems. On the iPhone, there is no Obstruction, but then, the iPhone 12 Pro Max Ultrawide camera isn’t as wide as the S10.
- No Phone Charger – It will be good to have the gimbal charge my phone while the phone is mounted. Just like what the Zhiyun Smooth 4 has.

MOZA Mini MX2 vs MOZA Mini MX
What’s the biggest difference between MOZA Mini MX and MOZA Mini MX 2?
The biggest difference is that MOZA Mini MX2 uses a smart sensor phone clip, which has a built-in motor, is equipped with infrared sensing technology, and incorporates a hardware control algorithm that senses your phone when it’s on and in use.
