The used Freefly Movi M5 Gimbal with Carry-On Case is an advanced stabilization rig for professional camera systems that includes a TSA-approved carry-on case. Key features include:
Advanced Stabilization System. The Freefly MoVI M5 Gimbal is an advanced stabilization rig for professional camera systems. It has two bigger brothers: the Movi M10 and the Movi M15.
Carry-On Case. This rental includes the Jason Cases Compact Movi M5 case, which is TSA approved to be within carry-on size restrictions. Please note that the balancing stand doesn’t fit in the case and will ship in an additional box.
Majestic Mode (Pan/Tilt). Majestic Mode allows a single operator to point the gimbal by moving the handles without compromising image stabilization. The gimbal takes the operator’s movements and intelligently converts them into stable pan and tilt movements.
Live Wireless Tuning and Graphing. The Movi features real-time Bluetooth connection to the gimbal, which outputs all pertinent performance data and allows for live adjustment of any of the gimbal parameters via a fast, intuitive, and user-friendly graphical user interface.
Silent Drive. Capturing on-camera audio is no problem with the Movi, as the system is virtually silent. Because the entire motor/drive system was designed with audio in mind, the gimbal’s noise-frequency signature is virtually inaudible.
It’s complicated. The M5 isn’t what one would call a “turn-key” solution. It requires a significant amount of training and practice to get good results. Start learning here.
