Description

FREEFLY MOVI Pro Camera Top Handle

The FREEFLY MōVI Pro Camera Top Handle is a specialized, quick-release handle designed to attach directly to the camera’s top plate (specifically the Freefly MōVI Adjustable Top Plate) when the camera is mounted on a Freefly MōVI Pro gimbal stabilizer. Its primary purpose is to enable rapid transitions from gimbal-mounted shooting to handheld operation, providing a comfortable and secure grip for the camera itself, independent of the MōVI gimbal.

In dynamic production environments, the ability to quickly adapt from stabilized gimbal shots to nimble handheld movements is invaluable. The MōVI Pro Camera Top Handle allows operators to “strip down” the camera from the MōVI Pro and immediately use it in a standalone handheld configuration, maintaining a familiar grip and control.

Key features and benefits of the FREEFLY MōVI Pro Camera Top Handle include:

• Quick Transition to Handheld: The standout feature is its integrated quick-release mechanism, which allows the operator to swiftly detach the camera (with the Adjustable Top Plate attached) from the MōVI Pro gimbal and directly attach the top handle. This enables seamless and almost instantaneous transitions between gimbal and handheld shooting modes.
• Familiar Ergonomic Grip: The handle often features a familiar 25mm tube diameter, inspired by the MōVI Ring Pro, providing a comfortable and secure grip akin to traditional camera top handles. This enhances operator control and reduces fatigue during handheld operation.
• Integrated Quick Release Compatibility: Designed to specifically fit and lock securely onto all Freefly MōVI Adjustable Top Plates. This ensures a strong, reliable connection between the handle and the camera.
• Lightweight & Durable Construction: Made from a combination of lightweight carbon fiber and robust aluminum (or similar high-grade materials). This construction ensures the handle is strong enough to support professional cameras while adding minimal bulk and weight to the handheld setup.
• Enhanced Camera Portability & Control: Beyond transitions, the handle provides a convenient carry point for the camera when it’s off the gimbal. It also offers better purchase and control for low-angle shots or when precise handheld framing is needed in a more agile setup.

The FREEFLY MōVI Pro Camera Top Handle is an indispensable MōVI accessory and a critical camera rigging solution for professional cinematographers. It significantly streamlines workflows by facilitating rapid mode changes, enhancing camera portability, and providing comfortable, secure handheld control for cameras used on the Freefly MōVI Pro stabilizer.
