Description

FREEFLY Movi XL Lens Support

The Freefly Systems MōVI XL Lens Support is a specialized accessory engineered to provide critical stability and rigidity for cinema lenses mounted on the Freefly MōVI XL 3-Axis Gimbal Stabilizer. Its primary function is to “tie” the lens directly into the camera’s dovetail plate via the 19mm rod system, thereby reducing any potential flex or “sloppiness” in the lens mount. This is particularly crucial for large, heavy cinema lenses or those with less rigid mounts, ensuring optimal gimbal performance and image quality.

By creating a rigid connection, the lens support prevents micro-vibrations or subtle movements that could otherwise compromise the stabilization of the MōVI XL, especially during dynamic shots or with high-speed movements.

Key Features:

• 19mm Rod Integration: Designed to mount securely onto industry-standard 19mm rods, which typically run beneath the camera and lens on the MōVI XL setup.
• Direct Lens-to-Dovetail Connection: Allows users to rigidly connect the lens to the camera’s dovetail plate (or camera cage), creating a single, highly stable unit with the camera body.
• Adjustable Lens Mounting Blocks: Features an adjustable 15mm lens mount post with a 10mm right/left adjustment range. This post includes mounting threads (typically ¼-20 and ⅜-16) to attach directly to compatible lens support points on various cinema lenses.
• Precision Adjustability: Offers both left/right and up/down adjustment capabilities, providing maximum flexibility to precisely align and support a wide variety of lenses.
• Optimized Rigidity and Weight: Constructed from 6061-T6 black anodized lightweight aluminum. This material choice ensures maximum rigidity for demanding professional use while keeping the added weight to the gimbal payload at a minimum.
• Adjustable Clamping Levers: Equipped with convenient adjustable clamping levers for quick, tool-less adjustments and secure locking of the support in place.
• Enhances Gimbal Performance: By stiffening the lens-camera interface, it allows the MōVI XL motors to work more efficiently, leading to improved stabilization, especially for long or heavy lenses where minute flex could otherwise cause issues.

The Freefly Systems MōVI XL Lens Support is an essential piece of MōVI XL camera rigging that ensures heavy and high-performance cinema lenses remain perfectly stable and integrated with the camera. It is vital for achieving the highest levels of stabilization and precision on professional film sets, making it a critical gimbal accessory for large camera payloads.
