The quick release plate of MOZA Air 2 is designed in a unique way and can be 

installed and removed from both the front and back sides. Even after the follow 

focus and other accessories are installed, the quick release plate can also be 

directly installed on other equipment with Manfrotto plate. There is a preventer pin 

on the left and right of the Air 2 quick release plate, the preventer pin on the left 

can prevent the quick release plate from sliding down, and the preventer pin on 

the right is used for positioning. When installing the quick release plate, the quick 

release plate needs to be moved until it cannot be moved on thepreventer pin 

on the right side.

4. Different Operating Modes

There are three operation modes for the Air2 to deal with shooting in different 

scenes.

    Vertical mode

The camera is located above the gimbal and the battery handle is located 

below. The tripod can be installed under the battery handle to extend the handle 

and place the gimbal, which can satisfy most usage scenarios.

    Flashlight mode

Rotate the handle around the tilt motor by 90 degrees to make sure the lens in 

the same orientation as the handle. This mode can effectively control the size of 

the gimbal and facilitate movement when traveling in a long and narrow space.

    Underslung mode

Rotate the handgrip around the roll motor to 180 degrees above the camera. The 

camera can be as close to the ground as possible to capture the effects of 

landing flight and rocker arm in underslung mode.

1.Battery Charging

Battery charger comes with 4 slots, each slot packs 

one piece of 18650 battery to charge at the same 

time. The charger provides 500ma of charging current 

for each battery, so you need to select a power 

adapter that outputs not less than 5V 2A for use by the 

charger.

Insert batteries into the battery slots. Make sure the 

positive terminal is facing upwards. Charging starts 

when indicator changes to red and the indicator turns 

green when charging completes.

Please note that Air2 does not have a charging 

function. When using an external power supply, it can 

only supply power to the Air2 and cannot charge the 

installed battery.
