Freefly MoVI M10 Stabilization Gimbal

Using MōVI the possibilities of camera movements are limitless with the ability to use as a handheld single operator setup to a remote setup with remote control for multiple operator functions including pan, tilt, zoom and focus. The MōVI M10 Stabilization Gimbal can even be passed from operator to operator or from operator to jib and dolly without any detectable camera jerks, jumps or shakiness. Even if you are running with the camera, there is no worry that image will be compromised, because the unique design provides camera stabilization like no other. 

Majestic Mode (Pan/Tilt)
Majestic Mode allows for a single operator to intuitively control the pointing of the gimbal by moving the handles without compromising the stabilization of the image. The gimbal takes the operator's movements and intelligently converts them into stabilized pan and tilt movements. This allows for very low profile single operator setup and accurate framing in tight situations.

Translation Compensation
The system features translation compensation, whereby the system will automatically adjust the camera angle to maintain a consistent frame. This is useful in situations where the camera will be moving so fast that no human operator could possibly keep up. The MōVI can accurately adjust the frame hundreds of times per second to keep the subject in frame as the camera translates.

Live Wireless Tuning & Graphing
A next generation stabilized gimbal deserves a fast, intuitive and user friendly GUI (graphical user interface). The MōVI features a real-time bluetooth connection to the gimbal, which outputs all pertinent performance data and allows for live adjustment of any of the gimbal parameters.

Remote Firmware Updatable
The MōVI stabilized camera system is firmware updatable. When Freefly adds a new feature on Friday night, you can be shooting with it on Saturday morning. As the system is used in varying cinema applications, Freefly is constantly inventing new solutions for the rigors operators face in using the system to execute demanding shots.

Drift Free Horizon
The proprietary control algorithms developed for the MōVI utilize a very high accuracy GPS. This GPS allows for acceleration correction when the gimbal is used outdoors or has a GPS signal. This feature is useful when used on cars and helicopters where sustained extreme acceleration forces can cause non-GPS aided systems to drift.

Silent Drive
Capturing on-camera audio is no problem with the MōVI, as the system is virtually silent. Because the entire motor / drive system was designed in-house, Freefly was able to reduce the noise frequency signature of the gimbal to a virtually inaudible level.

Shot Recorder
The system has the ability to record the exact camera position, height, pan, tilt and roll angle to assist the VFX team in post-production.

Custom Direct Drive Motors
High torque and lightweight are two attributes that don't usually go together.  Drawing on years of brushless motor design experience, Freefly was able to create a remarkably lightweight motor that still has enough torque to handle larger camera packages.

User Adjustable Shaky Cam
In some instances, camera movement / shake is a desirable aesthetic choice. The difficult part is quantifying the amount and type of shake to effectively convey the emotion of the scene. The MōVI overcomes this limitation by allowing the user to define variable noise filters that mimic the user's movements. Being able to control the level of noise is highly useful, as it can be difficult for a human operator to accurately maintain a consistent level of camera movement, especially while keeping a compelling frame. With the MōVI noise filter, the camera operator can focus on framing and the MōVI takes care of the rest consistently and repeatably.

Additional Features

The M10 features an enclosed camera cage to provide maximum rigidity and shot stability. It includes an adjustable camera plate and fully-protected wiring. A quick-release on the top handle permits you to rapidly adjust your configuration on the fly.

Also note that you can make tool free adjustments to the M10, including the ability to balance your gimbal.

MIMIC Controller with Handlebars

MIMIC offers precise and natural control over the MoVI Pro. It intuitively follows a user's movements. MIMIC features a long range 2.4 GHz frequency hopping radio system that provides users access to MōVI Pro pointing control, status information, menus, and RED camera controls.

The format of the MIMIC Controller handlebars is both lightweight and ergonomic. The carbon fiber handle unit weighs just ounces and is complemented by the same comfortable grips you are used to using on the MoVI units.

This kinetic camera movement system offers intuitive control. There are no joysticks, knobs or wheels. Just tilt, pan or roll and your MōVI will follow. Move the MIMIC Beta and your MōVI will follow. It's so instant and organic that operators can execute complex moving shots with precise framing after just minutes of practice.

Features:

• Integrated battery with 6 hour run time
• Integrated LCD screen
• Long range wireless
• USB connectivity
• BLE connectivity
• Quick-release 13mm mount
• 1/4-20" mount
• SD card slot
• 2x COM ports for expansion

NOTE: Although the MIMIC Controller comes with a monitor mount, it does not include a monitor or monitor/recorder. You will want to purchase that separately to complete your configuration.

Customizable Control with Four Modes

Direct Mode - Gives you the most responsive control between the MIMIC Beta and the MōVI. Whatever the MIMIC Beta does, MōVI will responds as quickly as possible in pan, tilt and roll.

Level Roll - Similar responsiveness as Direct mode, but maintains a level roll attitude.

Majestic Pan - Smooths pan input from the MIMIC Beta using the same settings found in Majestic Config. Control of tilt is direct. Roll is held level. These configurations are fully customizable.

Majestic Pan & Tilt - Smooths both pan and tilt using Majestic Mode settings. Roll is held level. These configurations are fully customizable.

Long Range Control

A powerful 2.4 GHz radio frequency ensures you can maintain full control of your picture reliably from up to 1200 feet, in line of sight conditions.

Full Combatibility

Per the manufacturer, the MIMIC Beta Program offers full combatibility across all MoVI units in the Freefly Systems catalog.
