![]() With heavy anamorphic lenses and lightweight camera bodies with increasing integration, like the Alexa mini’s internal MDR, the CG of payloads is shifting forwards. “One of the challenges of being a gimbal operator is figuring out ways to cram a lot of camera and accessories into a very small space. You have probably seen his Movi work on features like Straight Outta Compton & Into the Badlands. Movi operator & technician Chris Herr was involved in the design of the offsets. By using the offset brackets, you won’t need to shift the camera package as far back, giving clearance for the iris motors. Ignite Digi’s Tilt Cage Offset brackets move the entire tilt cage by 35mm rearward, giving you more room to mount larger camera & lens packages like Cooke anamorphic lenses or Angenieux zooms.Īnother issue that may arise when trying to balance a camera package with FI+Z control is that the iris motor can impede when trying to shift the camera backward on the bridge plate. Ignite Digi is no stranger to creating accessories for the MōVI Pro, offering other various power adaptors, camera plates & more. When the gimbal is mounted on a drone, additional weight will affect flight time and performance.Īustralian cinematography company Ignite Digi, has aimed to solve the need to add counterweight when the package needs more weight rearward to balance with their MōVI Tilt Cage Offsets. In some cases, adding counterweight is not even an option. Certain accessories like lens motors can also interfere with the frame preventing the camera from moving further backward/forward so adding counterweight is required to achieve proper balance.Īdding counterweights not only makes the gimbal package heavier but there can be a lot of trial and error in the placement of the counterweight and how much counterweight to add. To balance these setups, sometimes counterweights are needed due to the maximum range of movement (forward/back/sideways etc) that the camera can make. ![]() Compared to a cinema camera package you may be balancing the camera body, cine prime or zoom lens, FI+Z motors, wireless transmitters & more. Balancing smaller mirrorless or DSLR cameras is generally quite straightforward since there is usually only the camera body & lens. Other companies have also been targeting the market with gimbals like DJI’s Ronin 2 & the Letux Helix.Ī big part of setting up a gimbal is the initial balancing. Pricing for these larger systems has also come down with the MōVI Pro, released in November 2016, retailing for $6,500 in a handheld bundle. When stabilising larger cinema style cameras like a RED Weapon or Arri Alexa Mini with cine lenses, Freefly Systems is still one of the most commonly used gimbals found on set. Now you will find gimbal from various manufacturers at very affordable prices like Zhiyun-Tech’s Smooth Q gimbal for smartphones which is now only $99 USD.

And we will be lifelong customers.Gimbals have come a long way in recent years, especially since the first Freefly Systems MōVI M10 gimbal was announced at around $15,000 USD almost five years ago in April 2013. Selection of screws for mounting Mvi (Pro or XL) camera plates/rails to a variety of cameras. We appreciate the workmanship and strive to excellence that Jason Cases shows. Obviously the MoVI Pro is a beast in and of itself, and was most likely a tough challenge to create a case to please everyone. I compare the MoVI Pro case to the MoVI M10 case and how the M10 had numerous storage options. We felt it was restricting in terms of miscellaneous gear. ![]() Things that we would like to have seen would be options for classic handles, miscellaneous pockets for teradeks, follow focus, pop-n-locks, monitors, and all the other accessories used to rig out a camera system. We are mostly happy with the product as it fits the full ring with camera built out on it, accommodates batteries, mimic, chargers, and a handful of other accessories. When we bought our MoVI Pro we knew there was only one case that we wanted for it. We have purchased cases in the past for all sorts of camera solutions and have been very happy with all of them. We are big users of Jason Cases and have come to admire your product. ![]()
