Description
Freefly Lightweight Mini to Standard Video Cable (1.5m)
The Freefly Lightweight Mini to Standard Video Cable (1.5m) is a high-performance, flexible cable meticulously engineered for efficient and reliable video signal routing within professional camera setups. Its balanced length and lightweight design are optimized for Freefly gimbals, camera cages, and other rigs where minimizing bulk and maintaining perfect balance are essential.
This 1.5-meter (approximately 4.9 feet) video cable is designed for high-quality video signal transmission in demanding production environments. It features a Mini-BNC (HD-BNC) connector on one end, a compact yet robust standard commonly found on professional cinema cameras (like the Freefly Wave or Freefly Ember S5K), compact monitors, and wireless video transmitters. The other end terminates in a standard BNC connector, ensuring broad compatibility with a wide array of professional video equipment, including larger monitors, recorders, and video distribution systems.
The cable’s defining characteristics are its lightweight construction and practical length. These attributes are crucial for:
- Gimbal and Drone Optimization: Reduced cable weight helps to minimize strain on gimbal motors, improve balance, and potentially extend battery life, leading to smoother and more stable footage.
- Flexible Rigging: The 1.5m length provides sufficient reach for connecting components that are not directly adjacent but still within a compact camera or gimbal setup, allowing for clean cable management without excessive slack.
- Streamlined Workflow: Prevents unnecessary cable clutter and simplifies setup and breakdown, crucial for fast-paced production environments.
Despite its minimal footprint, the cable utilizes high-quality coaxial material with robust shielding, guaranteeing:
- Superior SDI Signal Integrity: Capable of reliably transmitting high-definition video signals (HD-SDI, 3G-SDI, and often higher bandwidths depending on exact specifications), ensuring clean and consistent video feeds across its length.
- Exceptional Flexibility: Allows for easy routing within intricate rigs without kinking or impeding the movement of gimbal axes.
- Durability: Built to withstand the constant handling and environmental conditions typical of professional film sets.
The Freefly Lightweight Mini to Standard Video Cable (1.5m) is an indispensable gimbal accessory and a vital component for professional cinematographers who prioritize a streamlined, high-performance video workflow. It is perfect for connecting devices like wireless video transmitters, onboard monitors, or external recorders to your Freefly camera system or other compact cinema camera setups.
