![]() If the build is for a Live Broadcast or ENG production then some heads behave better in these environments over others like the NEWTON S2. Often the size of the camera payload can easily determine the best remote head for the project by eliminating the burden of the larger gimbals. Here are a few questions I often ask my clients if they don’t already have a solution in mind: ![]() However, as a technician, I support all of these systems and wish I had enough resources to own them all. Each head has their advantages and disadvantages, and there are several reasons why I chose the MoVI XL over the G1 and why we passed on the Maxima MX30. The case has CNC cut foam which provides mounting options for the MoVI XL and a variety of accessories.As a camera operator, I personally own four (4) of these six remote heads.

The MōVI provides variable noise filters that allow you to effectively dial in a custom amount of shake to help you achieve the effect you are after. The MōVI XL system uses powerful motors that enable you to create smooth shots while on camera platforms moving at high speed. You can upgrade the gimbal to new software features as they are released by Freefly yourself, without having to send the device in for a factory update. Using separately available mounting hardware, it is possible to mount the MōVI XL on cranes, jibs, ad remote heads. Keeps a record of the camera position (where GPS is available), height, camera pan, tilt, and roll so that the shot can be recreated later or to help Visual Effects align the live action shot with other elements in a CG composite. Making hundreds of adjustments per second, the software works to counteract translation-the bobbing up and down effect while running-when tracking a moving subject moving at high speed. The motors driving the gimbal have been designed to operate as quietly as possible to ensure you will be able to record sound without picking up any unwanted noise. The Freefly Configurator is a GUI that enables you to precisely adjust your MōVI XL via an iOS or Android device over Wi-Fi pairing. In this mode, an operator with a dedicated remote or RC transmitter controls pan, tilt, and roll independently of the support platform. Slew Stabilized Mode: For dual-operator control. ![]() Ideal scenarios for this mode include when the gimbal is mounted to a car or shots where the camera is moving, but the camera angle remains fixed. Stabilized Mode: Assumes no operator input, compensating for all movement it detects. This mode is especially useful when the MōVI XL is deployed on a moving vehicle. For example, you could set it in majestic to pan with a vehicle turning on streets or a jib with only one operator for example. In this mode the gimbal provides stabilization without counteracting operator-directed camera movements. You can hot swap the batteries on the MōVI XL, but extreme care must be taken to avoid damage to the batteries, and to the operator. MōVI XL can be configured wirelessly via Bluetooth LE, from the MōVI XL app on a mobile device. The MōVI XL is compatible as well with most Spektrum and Futaba radios. The MōVI XL can be operated remotely either with a dedicated controller or by using the Mimic controller (neither controller is included and must be sourced separately). The MōVI XL is designed to support payloads up to 50 pounds, making it suitable for professional cinema cameras with cinema lenses. Supported Camerasįor a full list of compatible cameras, please see the most current compatibility information on the FREEFLY website. Once balanced, the MōVI pairs over Wi-Fi to an iOS, Android, or Windows app to finalize the configuration process. As with sled-style stabilizers, the camera should be balanced on the MōVI to ensure best performance. The FREEFLY MōVI XL is suitable for professional cinema cameras and lenses and compatible with both the Mimic and MōVI Controller systems (not included), as well as select Futaba and Spektrum transmitters.
