I use a Moza Air 2 and the one and only thing I like about it is I can run it for days with my vmount. Not crazy about having to have a hdmi cable throwing it off balance and preventing any rolling action.
I have seen a couple people mount batteries to the base of their gimbal, but I don't see any clear way to power the camera from the gimbal unless you can power the camera from the Camera Control Port (usb c) but I don't know for sure. You would also need the appropriate cable (usb c to Weipu or dummy battery).
There is no hdmi passthrough that I am aware of but there is the RavenEye wireless transmitter, which could be an option. Unfortunately, you cannot use the Lidar and RavenEye together, only one or the other "currently" they say.
I took a different approach to keep the rig lighter and to accommodate my style of shooting.
I use the pouch that came with the IndiPro 99 battery and put that on my belt that I wear along with a 41" DTap to Weipu wire that I can plug into the camera when I am ready to shoot. The battery in the camera then acts kind of like a backup to keep the camera powered on when I need to set it down or adjust anything. The wire is thin and long enough that I don't feel it affects the gimbal.
I have the SmallHD 702 touch that I can mount to the base of the gimbal with a super thin 25" hdmi cable and it doesn't seem to affect the balance either, but it does add some weight. The other option is I have the Atomos Shinobi which is smaller and lighter, but I need a different mount for it because it only has the screw mounts on the top and bottom.
If I wanted to do any rolling shots, like you mentioned, I would have to just use the internal battery itself and pull the monitor off, but I don't foresee myself shooting many shots like that. But never say never right.
Please post pictures of your setup on the Moza Air 2!
