Description

Freefly Systems Tablet Clamp Mount

The Freefly Systems Tablet Clamp Mount is a versatile and robust accessory designed to securely attach a wide range of tablets (such as iPads, Android tablets, or Microsoft Surface devices) to various professional rigging setups, particularly within the Freefly MōVI gimbal ecosystem. It provides a stable and adjustable platform for using a tablet as a large monitor, control interface, or a convenient viewing station on set.

Tablets have become indispensable tools on film sets, serving as external monitors, wireless control surfaces for gimbals and cameras, or even for script and shot list management. This clamp mount provides the necessary security and flexibility to integrate these devices seamlessly into complex camera rigs.

Key features and benefits of the Freefly Systems Tablet Clamp Mount typically include:

• Universal Tablet Compatibility: Designed with adjustable jaws that can accommodate a wide range of tablet sizes, from smaller mini-tablets to larger professional models, typically between 7 inches to 12.9 inches (or more depending on specific model iterations). The padded jaws ensure a secure grip without scratching the device.
• Integrated Clamp Mechanism: Features a robust, integrated clamp that allows for tool-less attachment to various circular or square tubes and surfaces. This clamp mechanism is often compatible with:
  • MōVI Ring Pro II / Original MōVI Ring: Seamlessly clamps onto the 30mm carbon fiber tubing of the MōVI Rings.
  • Light Stands / C-stands: Can attach to the risers or arms of standard grip equipment.
  • Other Rods/Pipes: Compatible with a range of rod diameters common in camera rigging.
• Multiple Mounting Points for Accessories: Often includes additional threaded holes (e.g., 1/4″-20 and 3/8″-16) on its body. These allow for the attachment of additional accessories like wireless receivers, small lights, or microphone mounts, expanding the functionality of the tablet station.
• Articulating Arm or Ball Head (often sold separately or integrated into a kit): While the clamp securely holds the tablet, it typically pairs with a separate articulating arm or ball head (often with a “Toad” quick-release or a standard rosette mount) to provide full tilt, pan, and rotation adjustments for optimal viewing angles.
• Robust Aluminum Construction: Made from high-grade, precision-machined aluminum, ensuring exceptional durability, rigidity, and resistance to wear and tear in demanding professional environments.
• Secure & Stable Hold: The combination of strong clamping force for the tablet and a robust attachment point to the rig ensures that the tablet remains stable and securely held, even during dynamic movements or when operating in challenging conditions.
• Streamlined Workflow: Enables operators to effectively use their tablet as a dedicated control interface for the MōVI App, providing real-time data, tuning access, and remote control, significantly enhancing operational efficiency on set.
