Description
Freefly Lightweight Standard to Standard Video Cable (3m)
The Freefly Lightweight Standard to Standard Video Cable (3m) is a high-performance, flexible cable meticulously engineered for robust video signal transmission in professional film and broadcast environments. Its extended length and lightweight design make it an indispensable tool for complex camera setups, especially when mounted on Freefly gimbals, cranes, or vehicles, where maintaining balance and reach is paramount.
This 3-meter (approximately 9.8 feet) video cable features standard BNC connectors on both ends, making it ideal for transmitting SDI (Serial Digital Interface) video signals from cinema cameras to various video infrastructure components. It is universally compatible with professional video equipment that uses BNC connections, ensuring seamless integration into existing workflows.
The defining characteristic of this Freefly cable is its lightweight construction. This is critically important for gimbal stabilization systems and drone applications, as it significantly reduces stress on motors, improves balancing efficiency, and minimizes overall payload weight. Despite its light build, the cable utilizes high-quality coaxial material with robust shielding, ensuring:
- Superior Signal Integrity: Capable of reliably transmitting high-definition video signals (HD-SDI, 3G-SDI, and often 6G/12G-SDI depending on specific cable type), even over its 3-meter length, minimizing signal degradation and interference.
- Exceptional Flexibility: Allows for easy and clean routing within intricate camera rigs, around gimbal axes, and through tight spaces without kinking, which is vital for dynamic camera movements.
- Durability: Built to withstand the rigors of professional production environments, including repeated handling, coiling, and exposure to various conditions on set.
The generous 3-meter length offers crucial flexibility for rigging scenarios where the camera or gimbal is positioned further from the monitoring station, video village, or a wireless transmitter. This is particularly beneficial for camera car setups, crane operations, or remote head configurations. The Freefly Lightweight Standard to Standard Video Cable (3m) is an essential gimbal accessory for any professional cinematographer aiming for a clean, efficient, and high-performance video workflow with their Freefly MōVI system or other professional camera rigs.
