- USB Cable

Mimic Control
By mounting the Moza Wireless Thumb Controller (sold separately) onto the dual handlebar accessory, users can use the Mimic feature which acts as a controller for the gimbal. We have seen this technology from Freefly Systems for their MōVI gimbals but not in smaller single handheld gimbals.
Motion Timelapse
Fine-tuning, controlling & updating firmware can all be done using the MOZA Assistant App available for iOS & Android devices. The app can also be used as a time-lapse controller. Using a USB cable to trigger the camera, the app can set specific key points for the 3-axes as well as camera parameters such as the shutter interval & duration.
How much is it and how does it compare?
With the gimbal market becoming more crowded, and now with DJI entering the space with their upcoming Ronin-S, the benchmark for gimbal design, performance, and quality in software control will get even higher.
The MOZA AirCross retails for $419 USD and is available to ship.
If you are considering to purchase a gimbal, also consider the newly announced Zhiyun Crane Plus ($569 USD) and other gimbals from iKan, Came-TV & more.
Camera store GripUp also have their handy gimbal buying tool to look up the total weight of your camera & lens.
