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.

Battery Use
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.
2.Battery Installation
please ensure all the 4pcs batteries are fully charged
when inserting batteries. If unsaturated batteries are
mixed with saturated batteries, they will be damaged.
Slide the battery compartment cover downward to
open the battery compartment, insert 18650 batteries
one by one into the battery compartment according
to the upward direction of the negative pole, and
then close the battery compartment cover.
Please make it clear of the positive and negative
poles. The reverse mounting of the battery may cause
Air2 not to work properly.
