Freefly Lightweight Mini to Standard Video Cable (0.7m)
The Freefly Lightweight Mini to Standard Video Cable (0.7m) is a meticulously crafted, compact cable designed for efficient and reliable video signal routing within tight professional camera setups. Its short length and lightweight construction are optimized for Freefly gimbals, camera cages, and other rigs where minimizing bulk and maintaining perfect balance are paramount.
This 0.7-meter (approximately 2.3 feet) video cable is engineered for high-performance video transmission in demanding production environments. It features a Mini-BNC (HD-BNC) connector on one end, which is a smaller, robust alternative to the standard BNC, commonly found on compact professional cinema cameras, monitors, and wireless video transmitters. The other end terminates in a standard BNC connector, ensuring broad compatibility with a wide array of professional video equipment.
The cable’s defining characteristics are its lightweight design and compact length. These attributes are crucial for:
Gimbal and Drone Optimization: Reducing cable weight helps to minimize strain on gimbal motors, improve balance, and extend battery life, leading to smoother and more stable footage.
Reduced Clutter: The short length prevents excessive cable slack, leading to a cleaner, more organized camera build and reducing the risk of snagging during dynamic movements.
Tight Rigging: Ideal for connecting components that are positioned close together on a camera cage, gimbal, or shoulder rig.
Despite its minimal footprint, the cable utilizes high-quality coaxial material with robust shielding, guaranteeing:
Superior SDI Signal Integrity: Capable of reliably transmitting high-definition video signals (HD-SDI, 3G-SDI, and often higher bandwidths depending on exact specifications), ensuring clean and consistent video feeds.
Exceptional Flexibility: Allows for easy routing within intricate rigs without kinking or impeding the movement of gimbal axes.
Durability: Built to withstand the constant handling and environmental conditions typical of professional film sets.
The Freefly Lightweight Mini to Standard Video Cable (0.7m) is an indispensable gimbal accessory and a vital component for professional cinematographers who prioritize a streamlined, high-performance video workflow. It is perfect for connecting devices like wireless video transmitters, onboard monitors, or external recorders to your Freefly camera system (e.g., Wave, Ember) or other compact cinema camera setups.
