Introducing The MōVI Pro

What You Need to Know

Here is a look at the core functions of the MōVI Pro. This includes an overview of the gimbal itself, what to expect from the new and improved power supply, as well as what Freefly have said so far about 'user control'.  

The Gimbal

The Power Supply

The new MōVI Pro Battery Packs have integrated power indication, intelligent management systems and a refined look. One handed battery swaps and 'hot swapping' are now possible through a redesigned system which has been built to ensure the MōVI Pro can keep shooting continuously. Using the combined power of two 22.2V batteries, Freefly's MōVI Pro can power itself, the camera, and any additional peripherals for over an hour before you need to think about swapping.  

User Control

A new approach to their software allows Freefly's MōVI Pro to find optimal stiffness and filter settings within seconds. While the system can be tuned manually if that's your style, the new self-tuning algorithm makes the whole process automated and accurate from the word go. The integrated REDLink Command Protocol grants users full control over RED EPIC and SCARLET camera adjustments (even if you're up to 600ft away). Utilising what Freefly claim is the world's 'smallest fully integrated 3-axis FIZ controller', the MōVI Pro reduces shooting weight and setup time with all industry standard motors. There's also the option for ultra fast boot-up (reportedly less than 2 seconds) and a ‘fastboot’ mode for instant switch-on shooting.
