Description

Freefly Systems Adjustable Monitor Mount Quick Release

The Freefly Systems Adjustable Monitor Mount Quick Release is a highly versatile and robust accessory designed to provide operators with a flexible, secure, and rapidly adjustable solution for mounting on-board monitors to their Freefly MōVI gimbal stabilizers or other Freefly rigging systems. It emphasizes quick transitions and precise positioning, crucial for dynamic filmmaking.

Effective monitoring is essential for precise gimbal operation. This mount allows cinematographers to position their monitor exactly where needed for optimal viewing, whether operating handheld with a MōVI Ring Pro, on a remote head, or integrating into a larger rig. Its quick-release functionality ensures efficient setup and breakdown.

Key features and benefits of the Freefly Systems Adjustable Monitor Mount Quick Release typically include:

• Integrated Quick Release: Features a Freefly-proprietary “Toad” or “Toad in the Hole” quick-release mechanism. This allows for lightning-fast, tool-less attachment and detachment of the monitor assembly from a compatible Freefly receiver (often found on MōVI Rings, MōVI gimbals themselves, or dedicated accessory mounts). This saves significant time on set during rig changes.
• Highly Adjustable Articulation: Offers multiple points of adjustment for precise monitor positioning. This typically includes:
  • Tilt: Forward and backward tilting for optimal viewing angles.
  • Pan/Rotation: Horizontal adjustment for easy viewing from various operating positions.
  • Arm Extension/Retraction: Some versions may include a small arm that allows the monitor to be extended or retracted relative to the mounting point.
  • 360° Orientation: The quick-release mechanism often allows the entire monitor assembly to be inserted and rotated 360 degrees for flexible orientation.
• Universal Monitor Compatibility: Features industry-standard mounting points, most commonly a 1/4″-20 threaded screw, to attach a wide range of small to medium-sized on-board monitors (e.g., SmallHD, Atomos, Blackmagic Video Assist).
• Robust & Lightweight Construction: Made from high-quality, precision-machined materials like 6061-T6 aluminum, ensuring durability and rigidity without adding excessive weight to the gimbal setup.
• Secure Locking Mechanisms: Employs strong locking levers or knobs at each articulation point to ensure the monitor remains securely in its desired position, even during aggressive camera movements.
• Streamlined Ergonomics: Designed to improve the operator’s experience by providing a stable and easily viewable monitor position, which is critical for framing, focus, and overall shot execution.
• Versatile Mounting: While primarily for MōVI gimbals and rings, its quick-release system often allows it to be mounted to any Freefly accessory or rigging component that features a compatible “Toad in the Hole” receiver.

The Freefly Systems Adjustable Monitor Mount Quick Release is an essential MōVI accessory and a critical gimbal rigging solution. It provides secure, rapidly adjustable, and ergonomically sound monitor mounting for professional cinematographers using Freefly MōVI stabilizers and related equipment.
