![]() On its own, the gimbal ways just 5.8 lbs, which is pretty light considering it can carry up to 15 lbs of camera gear. Here are some specs on the gimbal that you need 2016 may sound like a long time ago, but this gimbal was so well designed that it’s still relevant today. Since then, they’ve only worked to improve their gimbal, and in 2016 they released their Movi Pro gimbal. That gimbal revolutionized the way the filmmaking is done. What will be very interesting is seeing what the competition comes up with over the coming years.Freefly Systems can be considered to be one of the biggest innovators in the gimbal world, as they were among the very first to introduce gimbals with their release of the Movi M10 in 2013. It’s the natural progression of the technology, and it’s exciting to watch it grow. ![]() I can’t imagine this being as groundbreaking as their first release, but it certainly sets out to solve the issues that have prevented higher-end teams from putting down their Steadicam. However, if I had the opportunity and needed to rent a MōVI Pro, you bet I would. I’m not giving up my DJI Ronin-M anytime soon. There’s a very clear difference in markets for these two giants, but is there a clear distinction in quality? That will remain to be seen. While the $6,500 price tag isn’t outrageous (especially considering the price of these systems three years ago), is it seriously a consideration for somebody on a budget?Īll the while, DJI is focusing on beating Freefly to the lower-end market and cornering the industrial side of things with their recent releases this week. You can get gimbals for your iPhone, your DSLR, and even your Steadicam arm.Ībove all, I think it’s worth noting that Freefly is aiming squarely at the high-end filmmaking market. While Freefly’s video with Vincent LaForet created a yearning for the original product, DJI and a host of others saturated the market. It’s important to think about what their competitors have been up to since the original set of MōVI rigs were released. 180-degree rolling, which means it can go from a handheld shot to a car mount in seconds.Smart tuning allows for less time worrying about motor stiffness.A three-axis lens control system built right into the camera stage.Access to RED camera controls with the MōVI Controller or MIMIC.Twice the torque as the previous generation of MōVI rigs.A slew of USB and D-Tap ports to power your accessories.A built-in stand, so long as you don’t opt for the classic rig option.Internal wiring, avoiding the mess of cables.Hot-swappable, dual-battery system that uses two 25.2-volt batteries. ![]() To put it plainly and simply, here are the interesting updates: What’s new?įrom nifty features like a built-in screen (although you can use the app if you really need to) to improved camera control integration, the MōVI Pro addresses a series of gripes that people had with these systems and builds upon those fixes. There may not be much of a point for them to invest in a single-person system when DJI is catering to the lone shooter quite well, and for a quarter of the price. It stands to reason that Freefly is considering this as a two-person setup, and its capabilities reflect that. They’re also pairing it with their new MIMIC controller, which promises to bring the feeling of controlling a gimbal into the hands of the second operator. They’ve obviously been paying close attention to their customers, because they’ve adopted the ‘ Fig Rig’ style of mounting that Philip Bloom, Casey Warren and so many others have enjoyed. For the first time, a major player in the game allows you to put the gimbal down when you’re tired – an obvious oversight that we’ve experienced for the past three years. The MōVI Pro is strikingly different to most camera gimbal systems available.
