Freefly Movi Pro Gimbal: The Review
Performance
The Freefly Movi Pro Gimbal features twice the continuous pan torque of original Movi units and multiple top-notch MEMS sensors with full calibration (like Scale, temperature, alignment, and Cross-Axis), making it both the handheld and aerial gimbal. The high-speed sensors and floating-point processors allow 60dB performance at 1Hz. A 3-axis compass for error-free heading information and an inbuilt barometer offers reliable altitude estimates. Further, Movi Pro’s great brushless motors can provide excellent torque and deliver 360° pan/tilt/roll rate & 1000° base motion. The silent sine drive technology ideally controls the tilt, roll axis, and pan, whereas the sine drive motor controls update torque at 32KhZ.
Further, the Movi Pro gimbal stabilizer combines speedy CAN bus communication protocol and high resolution 15 but encoders responsible for extraordinary motion control and superior stabilization. Also, the stabilizer’s online temperatures enable maximum performance while saving the system from overheating problems. In addition, the Movi Pro offers numerous shooting modes, including Auto-tune & shot quality indicator, Majestic Mode, Motion control & path planning, Timelapse, Auto tracking / follow me mode, and High Bandwidth Data logging / Camera sync / Visualization.
Battery and Powering Systems
Movi Pro gimbal consists of a safe and reliable dual hot-swappable battery system which is why the batteries are compact and offer great power. The hot-swappable batteries can power the gimbal, camera body, and accessories and increase the “uptime.” Additionally, the available release system of the Pro Movi gimbal makes it easier for users to install and remove batteries. The design features a single camera D-Tap port with spine and tilt D-Tap port to power accessories, while it also consists of a powered USB port built into the tilt axis assembly. The Movi battery can last about an hour only when powering the accessories or camera. You can know how much battery is left by keeping an eye on its “fuel gauge.”
The Ring
Moving the gimbal when shooting was a big issue with Movi M15, whereas the lightweight and strong ring of Movi Pro made it easier to grab the device anywhere. At the same time, the ring feet make it simpler to put Movi Pro down wherever you want to give rest to the device between takes.
