Summary
Freefly have clearly made an interesting step into the consumer market with the announcement of the Movi. It’s an interesting move when you consider that their previous products were made strictly for high-end filmmaking and had a price tag of thousands of pounds rather than hundreds. This product was clearly designed to take on DJI’s Osmo Mobile and it’s going to be interesting to see it stands up against it. DJI have the experience with creating products for both the consumer and professional market but can Freefly’s filmmaking passion give them some competition? We’ll have to wait until 2018 to find out.
