FreeFly Movi XL

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. As with sled-style stabilizers, the camera should be balanced on the MōVI to ensure best performance. Once balanced, the MōVI pairs over Wi-Fi to an iOS, Android, or Windows app to finalize the configuration process.

Supported Cameras

For a full list of compatible cameras, please see the most current compatibility information on the FREEFLY website.
The MōVI XL is designed to support payloads up to 50 pounds, making it suitable for professional cinema cameras with cinema lenses.

Remote Operation

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 compatible as well with most Spektrum and Futaba radios.

App

MōVI XL can be configured wirelessly via Bluetooth LE, from the MōVI XL app on a mobile device.

Hot Swapping Batteries

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.

Three Control Modes

Majestic Mode: For single-operator use. In this mode the gimbal provides stabilization without counteracting operator-directed camera movements. 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. This mode is especially useful when the MōVI XL is deployed on a moving vehicle.

Stabilized Mode: Assumes no operator input, compensating for all movement it detects. 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.

Slew Stabilized Mode: For dual-operator control. In this mode, an operator with a dedicated remote or RC transmitter controls pan, tilt, and roll independently of the support platform.

Freefly Configurator

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.

Silent Drive

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.

Translation Compensation

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.

Shot Recorder

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.

Third-Party Mounting

Using separately available mounting hardware, it is possible to mount the MōVI XL on cranes, jibs, ad remote heads.

Remote Firmware Updatable

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.

Custom Direct Drive Motors

The MōVI XL system uses powerful motors that enable you to create smooth shots while on camera platforms moving at high speed.

User Adjustable "Shakey Cam"

Want an organic hand-held look? 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.
