Freefly MōVI Hot Shoe Mount

The Freefly MōVI Hot Shoe Mount is a highly versatile and essential accessory designed to expand the mounting capabilities of Freefly MōVI gimbal stabilizers, providing a convenient and secure attachment point for a wide range of camera accessories. This compact mount enables cinematographers to integrate small, crucial devices directly onto their MōVI rig, enhancing functionality and streamlining their setup.

Crafted from lightweight yet durable machined aluminum, the Freefly MōVI Hot Shoe Mount is engineered to integrate seamlessly into the MōVI ecosystem. It typically features a standard cold shoe (or hot shoe) interface, allowing for quick and secure attachment of accessories equipped with a corresponding shoe adapter. The other side of the mount is designed to connect directly to the MōVI gimbal. This connection is often achieved via:

• 1/4″-20 or 3/8″-16 threaded screw: For attachment to existing threaded holes on the MōVI cage, top handle, or other MōVI accessories.
• Proprietary Freefly quick release: Some versions might integrate with Freefly’s 13mm or other quick-release systems for tool-less attachment.

The primary purpose of this mount is to provide a stable and accessible platform for:

• Onboard Monitors: Mounting compact field monitors for improved framing and focus pulling.
• Microphones: Attaching shotgun microphones or wireless microphone receivers for enhanced audio capture.
• Wireless Video Receivers/Transmitters: Integrating lightweight wireless video units for clear monitoring feeds.
• LED Lights: Adding small on-camera lights for fill or accent lighting.
• Other Shoe-Mounted Accessories: Any device equipped with a standard cold/hot shoe adapter can be quickly mounted.

The MōVI Hot Shoe Mount is engineered with a focus on being low-profile and lightweight, ensuring it adds minimal bulk and weight to the gimbal. This is critical for maintaining the delicate balance of the MōVI stabilizer and optimizing motor performance. Its robust construction ensures a secure hold, preventing accidental detachment of valuable accessories during dynamic camera movements.

As an indispensable MōVI accessory, it offers unparalleled versatility for rigging, allowing operators to customize their setup efficiently and keep essential tools within easy reach. It’s a fundamental component for enhancing the modularity and operational efficiency of any Freefly MōVI Pro, MōVI XL, MōVI Carbon, or MōVI Classic gimbal.
