Freefly Movi XL Optical Gyro Edition

Movi hit the gym! We took everything great about the Movi Pro and added some serious horsepower for the world's biggest cameras. Movi XL is a lightweight, portable system that allows users to capture stable imagery in the most demanding environments.

- MoVI XL Gimbal -

Versatile

Completely Wireless
No power conditioners, no wires, no hassle. MoVI XL is completely wireless for both command and power using the Freefly control ecosystem (MIMIC, MoVI Controller, Pilot) and our high power lithium batteries.

Top / Bottom Mount
Freefly invented the handheld stabilizer, and we have seen our customers mount the MoVI to just about anything and everything. MoVI XL is designed to mount in underslung or overslung mode without changing anything by flipping the roll axis over.

Freefly Ecosystem
MoVI XL is built to interface with the entire Freefly ecosystem. That means you can use MIMIC or MoVI Controller for gimbal pointing or camera control and hand the Pilot off to your 1st AC for FIZ control. -All wireless, and integrated into MoVI XL.

Lightweight
Freefly knows how to build lightweight gimbals... it's kind of our 'thing'. We carried the same design spirit into MoVI XL that we used on ALTA. The result is a high performance gimbal that is not bloated. This means you can travel freely, mount it to just about anything, and create world class content quickly and easily.

MoVI XL Likes to Travel
Filmmaking is a global sport. We built MoVI XL to travel easily and make your life as a gimbal tech more enjoyable. Fast pack-down and easy setup allow you to focus on the creative aspects of filmmaking.

MoVI XL Likes to Share
The MoVI XL pan mount plate features six threaded M6 mount holes and six 3/8"-16 thru holes to enable mounting in a variety of situations. We have published a solid model and drawing to the autodesk gallery to allow users to create custom adapters as needed.

Quick Release
Cameras need to move to create compelling imagery. The optional quick release allows operators to quickly move the MoVI XL from jib, to car, to tripod, to dolly, to camel, all without any tools.

Powerful

High Torque / Lightweight Motors
Freefly designs all motors in-house to our exacting specifications. This allows us to create motors that are lightweight without sacrificing peak power. We optimize motor cooling under load to make sure MoVI XL can execute any shot you can dream up.

Custom Drives
Freefly specializes in field oriented motor control and developed the sinusoidal motor drives that can be found on the MoVI and ALTA. The technology we developed for these drives laid the foundation for the MoVI XL drive which is capable of 200W continuous and 500W peak power.

100mph with Full Camera Package
Custom motors, drives, and high power batteries allow MoVI XL to hit speeds of up to 100mph (160km/h) without sacrificing control or stability.

1500W Peak Power
Designing the XL from the ground up allows Freefly to create a completely wireless system that can deliver 1500W peak power while only weighing 25lbs. The power per pound on MoVI XL is off the charts.

Power
MoVI XL is designed to make camera and accessory setup painless. The dual 10Ah 22.2v batteries provide power for the MoVI XL and, as well as the following accessory ports and will run the system for up to 5+ hours.

Intelligent

Freefly Ecosystem
Freefly has designed a versatile, modular, and adaptable ecosystem to allow filmmakers to operate in whatever way is most productive for them. This means you can use MIMIC, MoVI Controller, Pilot, and the MoVI XL app to distribute control of gimbal pointing, FIZ, and camera controls in whatever way makes sense for your shot.

MIMIC
Freefly launched our MIMIC Beta at NAB in 2015 and the industry was amazed by the precise and natural control the technology offered users. MIMIC is at the heart of MoVI XL and allows users long range bidirectional control of MoVI pointing, settings, camera controls, and real time telemetry. MIMIC also allows gestural control of Focus, Iris, and Zoom axes.

Pilot
Think of Pilot like a MIMIC on steroids - complete pointing control of the gimbal combined with industry standard inputs for Focus, Iris, and Zoom. Pilot features adjustable focus knob damping, and a 2 axis force joystick that can be used for gimbal pointing, zoom, or just about any lens axis.

RED RCP
Freefly has tightly integrated the MoVI XL with RED cameras to allow users access to RED camera controls from six hundred feet away using MoVI Controller, Pilot, or MIMIC.

Built in FIZ / Power
MoVI XL features the world's smallest, fully integrated, 3 axis lens control system built into the camera stage. Control all 3 channels with either the Pilot, MoVI Controller, MIMIC, or a combination of the 3 systems.

Reliable

Internal Wiring
MoVI XL features internal wiring to prevent damage / snags during usage. We also included protective 'e-chain' for pan wiring and designed the wiring with serviceability and in-field replacement in mind. Each motor features a hollow shaft to allow users to easily route cables through the gimbal.

Modular Construction
MoVI XL features the modular and expandable design that Freefly is known for. This means users can tweak, tune, and adjust the MoVI XL for their specific application.

2 Sec. Boot Time 10 Sec. Autotune
Seconds count on set. MoVI XL boots in 2 seconds, and autotunes in 10 seconds. Go from zero to shooting in under 15 seconds.

Autotune
MoVI XL features Freefly's advanced Autotune which automatically finds optimal tuning and filter values in under 10 seconds. Tuning gains will no longer be a part of gimbal operations with MoVI XL.

- XL Top Rail -
XL top rail allows users to rigidly mount the camera to the top of the MoVI Xl camera cage. Securing the the camera to the Movi XL on both top and bottom increases the performance of the system by making sure there is no slop or compliance between the MoVI XL and the camera. Freefly's camera cage design has shown to improve quality of stabilization substantially (100%+ depending on camera package).

Features
• 1/4 20 mounts at 1 inch spacing
• Quick release / adjustable design
• 6061-T6 black anodized lightweight aluminum design
• Optimized for maximum rigidity with minimum weight

- Fiber Optic Gyro -
The Freefly F.O.G. (Fiber Optic Gyro) upgrade expands the capabilities of the Movi XL Cinema Robot, by increasing the stabilization performance and allowing one to take advantage of the Movi XL's surplus motor power, structural stiffness, and ability to shoot long lenses in harsh conditions.

Advantages of the FOG
• Having 100x lower drift than the stock MEMS sensor (the only perceptible drift comes from the rotation of the earth)
• Resistance to vibrations
• Adaptability to high accelerations
• Lower noise and "random walk" than MEMS Sensors, for long lens shooting.

The FOG upgrade is designed for
• High speed car work, or any environment with significant, sustained acceleration
• Applications where any drift is very undesirable (techno crane, dolly, long lens, etc.)
• High vibration environments
• Timelapse / Hyperlapse (extremely precise pointing over long time periods)
• When you use your Movi XL Cinema Robot constantly, and only want the best for it
