Description
Freefly Systems Wheel to MIMIC Cable
The Freefly Systems Wheel to MIMIC Cable is a specialized accessory designed to bridge the gap between classic, tactile wheel-based camera control and Freefly’s innovative gesture-based MIMIC control system. This cable enables operators to leverage the precise, repeatable movements of MōVI Wheels while utilizing the intuitive functionality of the MIMIC controller for their Freefly MōVI gimbal setup.
The Freefly Systems Wheel to MIMIC Cable serves as a direct link between the Freefly MōVI Wheels control module (which can be a single, dual, or 3-axis configuration) and the Freefly MIMIC controller. This robust, overmolded cable ensures a secure and low-latency data connection, translating the physical rotations of the MōVI Wheels into precise pan, tilt, and roll movements for your MōVI gimbal.
The cable typically measures around 300mm (11.8 inches) in length and features specific connectors: a 6-pin Molex Micro-Fit connector on one end and a locking GH connector on the other. This proprietary connection ensures seamless communication within the Freefly ecosystem.
By connecting the MōVI Wheels directly to the MIMIC controller, filmmakers gain an enhanced level of control. The MIMIC, known for its intuitive “point-and-shoot” camera control where the camera’s movement mirrors the operator’s physical gestures, can now be augmented with the extreme precision and repeatable nature of the MōVI Wheels. This hybrid control setup is particularly valuable for complex shots requiring both fluid, organic motion and exact, repeatable framing.
This Freefly control cable is essential for professional cinematographers and gimbal operators who seek to expand their creative possibilities and fine-tune their MōVI control experience. It provides a reliable pathway for integrating the tactile feedback and precise gearing of the MōVI Wheels with the versatility of the MIMIC, optimizing your gimbal control workflow for intricate camera movements and achieving highly cinematic results.
