REVIEW: MOZA Mini P Gimbal 3 Axis Stabilizer – How to Setup and Calibrate, Use, and Pack away.

My most recent addition to my Vlogging gear is the Moza Mini P 3 axis gimbal stabilizer ( https://amzn.to/2Wbpaza ) . My video shows how to setup, disassemble, and use the Moza Mini-P gimbal.

The Moza Mini-P is very advanced and but simple to use for action cameras, small mirrorless cameras, smartphones, and small camcorders. It can handle cameras up to 900 g (1.9 pounds) in weight. For my larger cell phone i used a Ulanzi metal cell phone holder: https://amzn.to/2O1wXzk

Setting up the Moza Mini-P had a difficult learning curve as the included instructions are printed so small its difficult to read. I relied on Youtube videos to learn how to calibrate the gimbal, but found it easier just trying it out. The setup was difficult the first time and took me about 10 minutes at first, not it takes me about 3 minutes to setup and calibrate.


I have been using it for over 2 weeks and on average use it for about 6 to 9 hours at a time, basically a day’s worth of video work – on and off. It is rated for 20 hours of and has a USB – C port for charging.

The Moza Mini P can be controlled with the Moza app to control special movement features, remote control of select compact cameras, and object tracking. For my purposes, I am using the Moza Mini P for smoother video footage during my travels and for product photography. So I will probably not use the special features until later. The gimbal stabilization works very well on my non-stabilized cameras and smartphones and has been reliable.

I comes with a nice foam case, however the gimbal, when folded down can be locked and placed in a smaller bag. I normally travel light and will wrap the camera and gimbal in a microfiber towel in my messenger bag when not in use. When transporting, it will fully disassemble and place it in its custom foam box.

Overall, this is the perfect addition to a vlogger’s toolbox for creating better video with lest post-production work. Especially, they are seriously considering vlogging and video work.

Review: COMAN Flexible Camera Tripod w/ ball mount and cell phone holder and Bluetooth remote trigger.

I found this Conman Flexible Camera Tripod online ( https://amzn.to/2JCLFtR ). I needed a small travel flexible tripod for my my vlogging with my phone and camera.

I have been using it for over 2 weeks and like the compact yet durable tripod. Starting from the legs, they are metal wire legs covered with rubber. I bend them for a lower tripod height or to use them to grip a pole or branch. The legs are sturdy. The only complaint would be the base of the 3 legs do not spread wide enough and are plastic. This makes it hard to wrap objects that are wider than 4 inches. On the side of the legs base is a 1/4 inch mount for accessories. Pretty useful if you have needed to add a mic or light accessory to your vlogging rig.

I love the ball head mount. Its all metal base and ball head is very well built. It holds my 2 pound DSLR as well as my cell phone camera without sliding. The top base mount has a 1/4 inch mount and a hidden fold out smart phone holder. The smartphone holder is large enough for my 6.9 inch Samsung Note S20 Ultra to fit in as well my other cell phones. The 1/4 inch mount fits most cameras and dslrs. The issue with the 1/4 inch mount is the lack of tightening knob. I basically can have to twist the base mount against my DSLR to tighten, which may mar the base labeling of my camera or mount at an incorrect angle.

I also had issues removing the 1/4 mount off the ball mount. Coman must have put thread lock or glue in the 1/4 inch mount. Even wrenching it with my hands i was not able to loosen it from the ball mount.

The kit came with a bluetooth remote trigger. Hold down the single button for 5 seconds to pair it with a smart phone. It basically calls the down volume key to trigger the smart phone to take a picture or start video recording. Simple and effective. The only problem is the lack of a easy way to open the remote to replace the battery. There are not visible slots. I guess i will have to deal with it when the battery expires.

Overall, this is a good tripod with flexible legs. Definitely more heavy duty than plastic grip tripods. I actually bought 3 of them, one for my camera, and two for lighting.

UHF Wireless Microphone System Headset Mic / Rechargeable $50 – REVIEW | UNBOX

I got UHF Wireless Microphone System ( https://amzn.to/35rIZYq ) Headset Mic / Lavalier Lapel Mic with Rechargeable transmitter and receiver for under $50. There are other rechargeable UHF microphone systems online ( https://amzn.to/38MMhI5 ), however this was less than $50 and it was also very small.

Btw, my Youtube vlogs and reviews may also have associated affiliate links to products that may earn from qualifying purchases. For items in this video, web page, or vlog, please check out other gift ideas at my Amazon lists. Visit: https://www.amazon.com/shop/sterlingw​​

The kit comes with USB rechargeable UHF wireless transmitter and receiver with 20 selectable channels and 20 levels of volume control. Most of the time you will need to use level 16 or higher as the included microphones are too week.

After using this for over 3 weeks, its best used for PA room speakers and sound reinforcement, at least the headset mic is. In fact, i got really clean audio using the included headset and if you keep it at about 2-3 inches from your mouth.

At first I got really bad audio because of two factors:

  1. One the mics were bad (replaced by the seller – thanks to them for being responsive).
  2. These microphones are all CARDIOID mics with only a 2-3 inch working distance.
    This would be good if I had public address room speakers to lower feedback loops and echoing.

However, if you are just recording on the other side of the room and wanted wireless microphones for your Youtube videos and need a really small form factor for the transmitter and receiver, this may be the kit for you especially at under the $50 dollar range.

The secret is to point the CARDIOID mics at your mouth and have it about 2-3 inches close to your mouth. The most useful is the headset mic and the handheld mic which you can position your mouth very close to the mic. The clip-on mic is pretty much worthless with low pickup volume and range.

I had a OMNI mic from another mic kit used it on this kit and got great audio from the transmitter and receiver. Overall the UHF transmitter and receiver works great and has a battery life of about 4.5 hours. If they included one Omni mic they would probably get better reviews. Overall I have used this for a few of my Youtube videos for a few weeks now and its been great being able to walk around record wirelessly.

The receiver unit is also very compact which is good if your are attaching this to your camera. I had it attached to my Insta360 One R and may Smart phone camera.
