You probably remember the Freefly Systems MoVI M10 promo with Vincent Laforet in 2013, which took the filmmaking industry by storm and literally spawned off a whole mini-industry of competing manufacturers who flocked into this (then) untapped market of 3-axis gimbal stabilisation for compact cinema and DSLR-like cameras.

Watch as Freefly test the MoVI XL at high speeds on their Polaris RZR.įinally, here is the most recent Q&A on the MoVI XL to answer any remaining questions you may have. Get some insights into the process of getting the XL ready to capture footage. Take a look at the initial version of the MoVI XL from the back-end of 2016. Here are Freefly’s series of Facebook Live videos which run through their factory set-up, showcase the MoVI XL and provide some great insights into the process that went into designing it. Due to its modular tube and machine structure block system, it leaves the user with a great deal of scope to customise and personalise.Ī few other final points to make are that the XL has full F/I/Z integration, is compatible with the Freefly API and allows complete control over RED cameras via RED RCP. One of the most exciting things about the XL is that it’s designed to be expandable and adaptable. “Everything that is possible to cover and seal will be, however, there may be components that require bagging If you’re looking to shoot in the rain – this is down to a balance between heat dissipation and weatherproofing.” While it’s not recommended to use the XL in a downpour, Freefly has made the effort to waterproof it to some extent. The MoVI XL is designed to perform at high speeds The option to tilt the camera 360 degrees is still available when the lock is disabled but this is dependent on the size of the camera and lens set-up. Lightweight doesn’t mean low performance however, as Freefly’s experience in the sector has enabled them to design the MoVI XL to optimise pan balance and camera tilt performance thanks to an all-new dual-purpose axis lock which can either hold the tilt cage still when you’re fitting the camera set-up into the gimbal or, if you want to limit range, twist the lock 180 degrees to access a bumper system. While there have been some changes (mainly in terms of safety features due to the new gimbal’s size and payload capacity) the XL features a similar control unit to the MoVI PRO meaning that the user interface and screens remain intuitive and recognisable to Freefly’s user base.įreefly users will also be happy to hear that there’s total compatibility with the MoVI product range including the Controller & MIMIC (inc. toggle clamps and sliding tubes) will be familiar to anyone who has experience with the smaller model.

According to the manufacturer, these batteries offer up to 3 hours of run-time for the camera & gimbal.ĭespite being capable of carrying payloads of up to 50lbs, Freefly has used their experience of creating professional gimbals to retain a lightweight construction for ease of transport. The XL runs on a dual battery set-up (10AH, 6S 25.2V) which allows for completely wireless operation as a totally self-contained unit. This is a serious piece of equipment that is used by professional film crews (including features such as sci-fi thriller Passengers & Marvel’s Doctor Strange). The upcoming MoVI XL is able to work alongside cameras up to and including the ARRI ALEXA 65.
