Gudsen has announced their new Moza Air 2S gimbal; successor to their popular Moza Air 2. It brings with it a new battery offering up to 20 hours of use, with rapid charging taking you from flat-to-full in a mere 2 hours compared to 16 hours of use and 5 hours charge time of its predecessor as well as an all-new metal construction.

The new Air 2S offers a similar load capacity to the Air 2 and while it might seem like an incremental update, it offers some some nice advantages and improvements. As well as one new feature that seems a little… odd. There’s a little flippy out handle on the focus wheel so you can spin it like a fishing reel.

Sliders and monopods, what do they have in common? Absolutely nothing. Until now… In fact, they’re kind of meant for the opposite things, but the folks over at Moza have a really clever take on this, and they joined the two together. Now, we have the Slypod Pro, a brand-new slider/monopod combo that packs a serious list of things it can do.

Gudsen has announced the new Moza Mini-MX gimbal. Designed for smartphones, it’ll let you shoot horizontally for something a little more cinematic but also vertically for your Instagram Stories, TikTok and other social media platforms. It’s also a folding gimbal that actually folds small enough that you can slip it into your pocket.

It features what Gudsen calls their “Deep Red” anti-shake algorithm to help handle extreme movements while walking and running. It features subject tracking (including autofocus) and a number of different shooting modes. But probably its most useful feature is that it actually works as a standard Bluetooth trigger to start/stop recording, which means you don’t need to use a dedicated app!
