Motor Output
The payload of Air 2S is from 300g to 4200g. Different payload requires different motor power to achieve the best stability. There are three methods for adjusting the output
of the motor:
Auto-tuning operation method:
a. Install the camera and adjust the balance
b. Unlock all motor lock
c. Turn on the stabilizer, long-press the center button to enter the menu, sele ‘Gimbal’ > ‘Motor’ > ‘Power’ > ‘Auto-tune’
d. During the auto-tuning, the stabilizer will vibrate automatically to match the most suitable output value. Wait for about 5 seconds, the stabilizer stops shaking, and the auto-tuning completes.MOZA AIR 2S Handheld Gimbal
Stabilizer - Motor Output

Set the output gear:
Factory default presets 5 groups of motor output values, which are suitable for
cameras of different weight levels.
Customize the output value of each motor:
The users can customize the output value of each motor to reach more precise control of the motor output. The adjustment range is 0 to 100.

Note:

  1. Under the camera lens combination of the limit, the auto-tuning function may not accurately calculate the appropriate output value. Please manually adjust the motor output according to the situation.
  2. If the motor output is too low, the video is not stable enough; if the motor output is too high, it will cause high-frequency vibration of the stabilizer.
  3. When the motor output is at the critical value, the stabilizer will not vibrate in the upright state, but it will vibrate in the forward or inverted state. Please reduce the motor output moderately.

FPV, Sports Gear Mode
When the follow function is enabled, the camera will follow the movement of the gimbal. Users can enable the following mode of each axis through dial buttons and turn the dial to adjust the following speed, which can be also enabled in the menu.

Follow ModeSwitch Example 1 Example 2
Enter the tilt follows
Exit the tilt follows
Enter the roll follow
Exit the roll follow

Note:

  1. The Air 2S is in pan follow mode by default.
  2. In addition to controlling the following mode by the switches of each axis independently, follow modes can be also enabled by the trigger, please refer to ‘Button Functions’ for more details.
  3. The angle of the roll follow is 45°. For a larger following angle, please triple-click the left button to enter the FPV mode to achieve a 360° follow of three axes.
  4. If a faster following speed is required, please click the right button to enter the sports gear mode. (Currently only supports the pan axis)

Manual Positioning
Manual positioning is used to quickly adjust the direction of the camera. When the function of manual positioning is enabled, the camera orientation can be adjusted by hand which will not automatically return to the initial position. The adjustment speed is faster than using the joystick or the following mode. The manual positioning of the tilt axis is enabled by default on the Air 2S. Manual positioning of the roll and pan axes can be enabled in the menuMOZA
AIR 2S Handheld Gimbal Stabilizer - Manual Positioning

Note: The following function has a higher priority than manual positioning. When the follow function of any axis is on, the manual positioning function cannot be used. Only after the following function is off, the manual positioning can be used normally.

Button Customization
Button Customization is used to specify the function, sensitivity, and operation direction of each button according to the user’s habits.
For Example:
By default, moving the joystick up and down controls the tilt axis rotation.
It can be changed to control the roll or pan axis rotation by customizing;
By default, moving the joystick left and right controls the pan axis rotation. It can be changed to control the tilt or roll axis rotation by customizing.

MOZA AIR 2S Handheld Gimbal Stabilizer - Button
Customization

The higher the sensitivity of the button, the more sensitive and faster the control is.
If you change the ‘custom’ to -, the direction of operation will be the opposite. For more button customization, please refer to ‘Menu Description’.

Inception Mode
The Inception Mode is used to control the camera to rotate in the roll direction for shooting upside down and rotating footage. In the main interface, triple-click the right button to enter the Inception Mode. After entering the Inception Mode, the camera lens is vertically up and each axis automatically follows.
Button Definition for Inception Mode:

  • Turn the joystick left or right: the gimbal turns left or right, when release or turn to a specified angle, the gimbal stops.
  • Turn the dial: adjust the rotation speed
  • Press the left button on the dial once: the gimbal rotates to the left automatically. If the gimbal is rotating, press once to stop.

e. When adjustment is completed, press the right button and check it again until the gimbal is well balanced.

Note:

  1. Balance check can be only used with the tilt and roll axis, the pan axis balance cannot be checked, please check the pan axis manually. Be sure that the motor lock has been released when using the balance check.
  2. Motors are turned off after balance check, please long press the ‘menu’ button to start the gimbal.

Sensor Calibration

  • Gyroscope Calibration
    Turn on the gimbal and leave it quietly for 5 minutes, the gyroscope calibration is required when the gimbal drifts obviously.
    The steps are as follows:
    a. Turn on the gimbal long-press the power button
    b. Turn off the motors double press the power button/enter the menu, select gimbal>motor>switch, set ‘off’
    c. Place air 2S on a horizontal table so that the platform is completely horizontal, keep the stabilizer stationary, and do not wiggle or tilt the stabilizer.
    d. Enter the menu, select advanced>calibrate>Gyro call, and press the dial right button, wait about 5 seconds, when the ‘ ’ changes to ‘OK’, the calibration is completed.

Calibration

  • Accelerometer Calibration
    Turn on the gimbal and there is no obvious drift, the accelerometer calibration is required when the camera doesn’t keep level. The steps are as follows:
    a. Turn on the gimbal long-press the power button
    b. Turn off the motors double press the power button/enter the menu, select gimbal>motor>switch, set ‘off’
    c. Leave the L-shaped quick release plate on the horizontal table. Avoid the bottom screw keep the Air 2S at a static position. Do not shake it or tilt it. (or mount the camera  to refer to its level)
    d. Enter the menu, select advanced>calibrate>Acc call, and press the dial right button to enter calibration. Wait about 5 seconds, when the ‘ ’ changes to ‘OK’, the calibration is completed.

Calibration

Note

  1. Please keep the gimbal stationary during the calibration, and shaking will cause the calibration to deviate.
  2. Any drastic shaking that might cause ’err’ shown on the screen, please calibrate again.
  3.  Do not arbitrarily perform calibration operations while it is not necessary.
  • Offset

In case of emergency shooting, the camera cannot be leveled and there is no time for sensor calibration, the camera can be adjusted to a horizontal state by offset.
An a. Turn on the gimbal and the camera level and check the offset of the tilt and yaw axis.
b. Enter the menu, select advanced>calibrate>offset, select an axis that is not horizontal, and then turn the dial to adjust the fine adjustment value of the axis until the camera
completely keeps level.

**Notes:**

  1. The offset can only adjust the angle of each axis within the range of about ±5°, if there is too much offset, the camera cannot be completely leveled.
  2. Offset is only a temporary solution, after shooting, accelerometer calibration is still needed.
  3. The parameters of the offset will not be saved and will become invalid after the restart.
