Gimbal Freefly Movi 5 Carbon

The MOVI M5 3-Axis Gimbal Stabilizer with Spektrum Transmitter is a bundle from Freefly that features the MOVI M5 hand-held stabilizer for DSLRs and video cameras weighing up to 5 pounds and a Spektrum transmitter (hand-held radio controller), an RC remote control that allows a second operator to control the gimbal’s pan, tilt, and roll functions.

To provide camera stabilization, the M5 uses three motors and an IMU (inertial measurement unit) to detect and counteract unwanted movement along three axes: pan, tilt, and roll. In particular, compensating for handshake or vehicle-induced vibration and reducing translation. There is a quick-release adapter available separately so that it can be mounted on cranes, jibs, vehicle mounts, and other camera support equipment. There is also an MR (multi-rotor) conversion kit, available separately, so that it can mounted on a UAV such as the CineStar.

The system supports single- or dual-operator control. In single user (Majestic) mode the system’s software intelligently differentiates unwanted shake or vibration from intentional movement, such as panning, while keeping the horizon level. Alternatively, you can have a dedicated operator using the DX9 transmitter who is in charge of camera pan, tilt–and if you want–roll. In this configuration the camera will always point where the operator of the transmitter tells it to, independent of how the rig operator moves.
