Impressively, the Nano SE is also controllable through a detachable Bluetooth remote which otherwise remains attached to the stem of the gimbal. The Nano SE also supports Wireless Dual Control and can be connected to the Moza Genie App.

To Nano SE can extend up to 27 inches and with three tiny legs provided at the bottom – it can also be used as a tripod, similar to those on its more-expensive range of gimbals. When it comes to switching between landscape and portrait modes, that interchangeability is made easier and quicker through the single press of a top button on the Nano SE.

The Moza Nano SE provides a battery life of 10 hours on a single charge and it comes in the Black and Green colour variants – with the Blue and Pink ones rolling out soon. In conclusion, the Moza Nano SE is a very impressive product, giving users the benefits of a gimbal, selfie stick and a tripod in one and is a great option for all sorts of creators out there – especially for the ones just starting out, which are increasing in number by the day.

The Moza Nano SE is priced at Rs. 4,990 but there are discounts available where the price is dropped down to Rs. 3,200.
