Lens-Artists Challenge #373: Looking Back to Challenge #31 – Landscapes

It’s Egídio’s turn to host the Challenge this week, and it’s another ‘Looking Back’ Challenge. In a post on his blog, Capturing My World Through Brazilian Eyes, Egídio says, ‘when we began the Looking Back series, I was excited about the prospect of revisiting some previous challenges I had missed.’ He chose ‘Landscapes’ as the theme for the Challenge this week, revisiting Amy’s (of The World Is a Book) Theme from 2019.

A few years ago I picked up a DJI Pocket 2, a small digital camera on a gimbal that was great for videos on the move, not that I ever used it much for that purpose. What I did have great fun with, though, was the panorama mode. I would set the camera on a tripod, press the record button and it would create a lovely 180° panorama. The Pocket 2 went with me all over the place; in Aveiro,  the woods behind our house, and down to the beach at Barra. Nowadays, I still like panoramas, but I’m more likely to use a film camera, like the Horizon 202 or the 1920s Kodak 3-A folding camera.

Themes for the Lens-Artists Challenge are posted each Saturday at 12:00 noon EST (which is 4pm, GMT) and anyone who wants to take part can post their images during the week. If you want to know more about the Challenge, details can be found here, and entries can be found on the WordPress reader using the tag ‘Lens-Artists’.

Moza Launches Pocket-Sized 4K Camera, Challenges the DJI Pocket 2

The Moin Camera, a new travel-friendly handheld device that has been announced by Moza looks to supplant DJI thanks to 4K video capture, articulating screen, 3-axis stabilization, and other features packed in a small and lightweight body for creators on the go.

As noted by DPReview, Moza -- a brand known for its smartphone and professional camera gimbals -- is venturing into the camera market with the release of the Moin Camera. The tiny device bears a strong resemblance to the DJI Pocket 2 -- previously known as Osmo Pocket in its first generation -- which was released in late 2020.

The Moin Camera has a 1/2.3-inch sensor and, using a full-frame equivalent 14mm f/2.2 lens with a 120-degree field of view, can capture 12-megapixel photos, 4K video footage at up to 60 frames per second, and also offers up to 8x slow-motion in its other video capture resolutions. From a stills perspective, the camera's shutter speed ranges from 60 seconds to 1/8000 of a second, while ISO ranges from 100 to 3200. Settings can be changed using the built-in 2.45-inch articulating touch screen.

Shooting options include single shot, panorama, static lapse, motion lapse, and hyperlapse. The camera also offers face tracking and fast continuous shooting which claims to deliver 9 images with one click.

Although the Moin Camera has a slightly wider angle of view and a larger touch screen compared to the Pocket 2, it also has a smaller sensor which may be a deal-breaker for those who want a camera with more robust capture potential.

That said, the long list of useful features that the Moin does offer comes packaged in a compact camera body that weighs only 176g (6.2 ounces) and is a scant 129mm × 37.8mm × 32mm (5 x 1.5 x 1.26 inches) in size, making it a travel-friendly option for photographers and videographers, especially considering the built-in stabilization that removes the need to pack an additional gimbal. The company claims the battery life of this camera lasts 145 minutes and takes 90 minutes to be fully charged using fast-charge.

Images can be processed or transferred using the Moza Artist app which accompanies the camera similar to smartphone gimbal apps on the market, such as Zhiyun's ZY Cami app. Users can choose to automatically import all footage stored on the camera, using Bluetooth and Wi-Fi to connect to the smart device. The app also offers quick edit options with various filters, effects, adding music, and more, with the ability to export the footage.

Moza is marketing this camera for audiences that are looking to record or vlog casual occasions, such as travel trips, lifestyle footage, outdoor events, and parties, making it appealing to those who want to upgrade from exclusively using their smartphones to record content. This camera is currently available for $299 in Moza's online store.
