Description
FRX Pro for Mōvi Pro/XL/Carbon (900 MHz)
The Freefly Systems FRX Pro for MōVI Pro/XL/Carbon (900 MHz) is the next generation of long-range wireless control modules specifically designed to enhance the communication range and robustness of your Freefly MōVI Pro, MōVI XL, or MōVI Carbon gimbal system when paired with a MōVI Controller. Operating in the 900 MHz frequency band, this system is optimized for reliable control over extended distances and in challenging RF (Radio Frequency) environments.
Traditional 2.4 GHz wireless control systems, while common, can sometimes face limitations in range or suffer from interference in crowded RF environments (e.g., urban areas, crowded sets with many wireless devices). The FRX Pro (900 MHz) addresses these challenges by utilizing a lower frequency band, which inherently offers better signal penetration through obstacles and longer line-of-sight range. This makes it ideal for complex shots requiring significant distance between the operator and the gimbal, such as car-to-car chases, large-scale remote operations, or drone applications where maintaining rock-solid control is paramount. The system typically comes as a pair of modules – one for the MōVI gimbal and one for the MōVI Controller – allowing for bidirectional communication and telemetry.
Key Features:
- Extended Long Range (900 MHz Band): Operates in the 900 MHz frequency band, providing significantly extended wireless control range (often cited as 1500m+ or 5000+ ft line-of-sight) compared to 2.4 GHz systems, with improved signal penetration.
- Enhanced Noise Rejection: The 900 MHz band offers better resilience against interference, resulting in more reliable control even in congested RF environments.
- Pop-N-Lock Ready Integration: Designed for quick and easy installation using Freefly’s Pop-N-Lock system (25mm for MōVI Pro/Carbon, 50mm for MōVI XL), allowing for fast setup and tear down.
- Configurable Power Settings: Allows users to adjust the transmit power to optimize for specific range requirements and manage battery consumption.
- Single Press Binding: Simplifies the pairing process between the FRX Pro modules and the MōVI Controller, making setup quick and user-friendly.
- Telemetry and Control: Facilitates full control over MōVI gimbal parameters (pan, tilt, roll, FIZ), as well as transmitting vital gimbal telemetry data back to the operator.
- Multiple Connectivity Options: Features UART, CAN, and USB Type-C connections for versatile integration and future firmware updates.
- Includes Comprehensive Kit: Typically comes with all necessary accessories, including two FRX Pro modules, various COM cables, USB-C to USB cable, D-Tap power cable, and multiple antenna options (e.g., 5dBi and 2dBi) for different range and environment needs.
- Firmware Compatibility: Requires specific firmware updates (e.g., Blackjack firmware) on both the MōVI and MōVI Controller for full compatibility and optimal performance.
The Freefly Systems FRX Pro for MōVI Pro/XL/Carbon (900 MHz) is an indispensable MōVI accessory for professionals demanding the utmost in long-range wireless control and robust RF performance for their Freefly gimbal stabilizers. It’s critical for advanced cinematic applications where maintaining a reliable connection to the gimbal over long distances or in challenging environments is non-negotiable.
