Description
Freefly Systems CAN Cable (250mm)
The Freefly Systems CAN Cable (250mm) is a crucial, high-quality data and power cable designed to facilitate communication between various components within the Freefly MōVI ecosystem and other compatible Freefly products. Its compact 250mm (approximately 9.8 inches) length makes it ideal for connecting devices that are in close proximity on a camera rig, gimbal, or drone.
The Freefly Systems CAN Cable (250mm) utilizes the robust CAN (Controller Area Network) bus protocol, a standard known for its reliability and efficiency in complex industrial and automotive applications. In the context of Freefly, this cable enables essential communication between critical components like the Freefly MōVI Pro/Carbon gimbal, the MōVI Wheels control system, FIZ (Focus/Iris/Zoom) motors, and certain Freefly power distribution modules or accessories.
This cable is typically overmolded for enhanced durability, ensuring it can withstand the rigors of professional film sets and dynamic shooting environments. It features specific locking connectors (often proprietary to Freefly’s CAN ports, such as custom 4-pin or 6-pin designs, or small JST-GH type connectors depending on the specific device) on both ends, guaranteeing a secure, vibration-resistant connection that prevents accidental dislodgement during operation.
The 250mm length is particularly useful for:
- Chaining MōVI Wheels: Connecting multiple MōVI Wheels modules in a daisy-chain configuration.
- Connecting gimbal accessories: Providing a short, clean connection between the gimbal’s CAN port and a nearby FIZ motor or power accessory mounted directly to the rig.
- Minimizing cable clutter: Its compact size helps maintain a tidy and streamlined camera setup, reducing snagging risks.
By facilitating precise and reliable data exchange, the Freefly CAN cable is fundamental to the seamless operation and advanced functionality of your Freefly camera stabilization system. It’s an indispensable gimbal accessory that ensures all your Freefly CAN-enabled devices can communicate effectively, supporting complex control setups and efficient workflows in professional cinematography.
