FREEFLY MōVI Pro COM to Spektrum Cable

The FREEFLY MōVI Pro COM to Spektrum Cable is a specialized communication cable designed to integrate the Freefly MōVI Pro gimbal stabilizer with a Spektrum RC receiver. This critical connection enables operators to control the MōVI Pro’s pan, tilt, roll, and other functions using a traditional Spektrum RC transmitter, offering a familiar and highly responsive control method, particularly for remote or vehicle-mounted operations.

While the MōVI Pro is often controlled by Freefly’s proprietary MIMIC or MōVI Controller, the ability to integrate with third-party RC systems like Spektrum provides significant flexibility for diverse production workflows. This cable facilitates that integration.

Key features and benefits of the FREEFLY MōVI Pro COM to Spektrum Cable include:

• Spektrum RC Receiver Compatibility: Designed to connect directly to a compatible Spektrum RC receiver (e.g., DSMX or DSM2 protocols, typically 3-pin servo-style connectors). This allows users who are already proficient with RC transmitters to leverage their existing gear for gimbal control.
• MōVI Pro COM Port Integration: Connects to the dedicated COM (communication) port on the MōVI Pro gimbal. This port facilitates the necessary data exchange between the Spektrum receiver and the MōVI Pro’s internal control system.
• Remote Gimbal Control: Enables comprehensive remote control over the MōVI Pro’s primary axes (pan, tilt, roll) and often allows for mapping of other MōVI functions to the various channels of the Spektrum transmitter. This is invaluable for vehicle-mounted shots, drone operations, or any scenario where the operator needs to be distanced from the gimbal.
• Reliable Wired Connection: Provides a robust, hardwired data link, ensuring a stable and interference-free control signal. This is particularly beneficial in environments with high RF noise where wireless solutions might be susceptible to interference.
• Optimized Length: The cable is typically designed with an appropriate length to allow for flexible mounting of the Spektrum receiver on the MōVI Pro rig without excessive slack that could interfere with gimbal operation.
• Durable Construction: Made with high-quality wiring and robust connectors to withstand the demands of professional film sets, ensuring long-term reliability and consistent performance.

The FREEFLY MōVI Pro COM to Spektrum Cable is an essential MōVI Pro accessory for cinematographers and drone operators who prefer or require the precision and familiarity of Spektrum RC control. It expands the versatility of the Freefly MōVI Pro system, making it a critical remote gimbal control solution for a wide range of demanding production scenarios.
