FREEFLY Movi Ninja Star Adapter Plate

The FREEFLY MōVI Ninja Star Adapter Plate is a highly versatile and essential mounting accessory designed to significantly expand the rigging possibilities for Freefly MōVI gimbal stabilizers (MōVI Pro, MōVI Carbon, M-Series). It acts as a universal mounting interface, replacing the MōVI’s standard top handle, to allow the gimbal to be securely attached to a wide array of professional camera support equipment such as Steadicams, tripods, jibs, cranes, car mounts, and more.

The “Ninja Star” name comes from its distinct, multi-holed pattern, which is optimized to provide the most mounting options possible while minimizing size and weight. It’s a critical tool for integrating the MōVI into more complex or specialized camera setups, enabling unique shots that wouldn’t be feasible with a standard MōVI configuration.

Key features and benefits of the FREEFLY MōVI Ninja Star Adapter Plate include:

• Universal Mounting Interface: Designed to replace the MōVI’s top handle and convert the top of the gimbal into a versatile flat mounting surface. This allows the MōVI to be attached to a vast range of third-party camera support equipment that uses industry-standard mounting patterns.
• Multiple Mounting Holes: Features a multitude of precisely machined 1/4″-20 and 3/8″-16 tapped mounting holes, along with M3 threaded and pass-through holes. These diverse patterns accommodate various screws, adapters, and accessories, ensuring broad compatibility.
• Optimized for “Toad in the Hole” Integration: While sold separately, the Ninja Star is perfectly optimized for direct attachment of a Freefly Toad M3 (Male Adapter). This combination provides the ultimate quick-release solution, allowing the MōVI to be swiftly “popped” on and off various platforms without tools.
• Lightweight and Durable Construction: Precision-machined from lightweight yet robust 6061-T6 hard-anodized aluminum. This material choice ensures high strength and resistance to wear, making it reliable for demanding professional use while adding minimal weight to the gimbal payload.
• Laser-Engraved Mounting Patterns: The plate features clear, laser-engraved markings that identify the various mounting patterns and hole sizes, making it easy and quick to identify the correct attachment points on set.
• Streamlines Complex Rigs: By providing a standardized and robust mounting point, the Ninja Star simplifies the integration of the MōVI onto custom rigs, vehicle mounts, or specialty equipment, expanding the creative possibilities for operators.

The FREEFLY MōVI Ninja Star Adapter Plate is an indispensable MōVI accessory for professional cinematographers and riggers. It’s a fundamental gimbal rigging solution that significantly enhances the versatility and adaptability of Freefly MōVI stabilizers, enabling them to be seamlessly integrated into almost any production environment.
