MoVI M5 by FreeFly

FreeFly Makes It Affordable!

For all of you film makers out there who dream of making smooth cinematic shots but can't quiet find it in their budget to get the equipment that will achieve these beautiful shots. The good people at http://www.freeflysystems.com/ have made that possible for us all. If you are not familiar with FreeFly they are the people who brought you the Movi Mr, the revolutionary and award winning camera stabilizer that has changed film making all over the world. This great tool has been used by great filmmakers such as JJ Abrams, Alfonso Cuaron, ASC cinematographers, and numerous independent filmmakers.



Unfortunately most of these filmmakers are working with a budget way beyond the average local filmmaker, they can afford to pay 14,995. But for the up and coming filmmakers the FreeFly people bring you the Movi M5 for a closer to realistic price of 4,995 you to can make your vision as beautiful as you imagined it. So go to the FreeFly website and check out the new MoVI M5, its a little bit smaller but gives you everything the MoVI M10 does. Here are a few Features to keep in mind when it comes to the MoVI M5.

• Majestic Mode (Pan/Tilt)
• Patent pending 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.
• 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.  
• 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, we were able to reduce the noise frequency signature of the gimbal to a virtually inaudible level.
• Custom Direct Drive Motors
• High torque and lightweight are two attributes that don't usually go together.  When we started to design the MōVI system, we knew that no off-the-shelf motor could deliver the performance needed, while keeping the weight low enough to allow the system to be mobile, portable and agile. 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 Shakey 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 patent pending MōVI noise filter, the camera operator can focus on framing and the MōVI takes care of the rest consistently and repeatably.
