FREEFLY MOVI XL Quick Release Kit

The Freefly Systems MōVI XL Quick Release Kit is a robust and essential rigging accessory designed to enable rapid, secure, and repeatable attachment and detachment of the entire MōVI XL 3-Axis Gimbal Stabilizer to various professional camera support platforms. This kit is critical for demanding productions that require swift transitions between different setups, such as mounting the MōVI XL from a crane to a dolly, a vehicle, or a tripod.

The MōVI XL is a substantial piece of equipment, often carrying heavy camera payloads. Manually bolting it to different platforms can be time-consuming and cumbersome. The MōVI XL Quick Release Kit streamlines this process, allowing operators to lock the entire gimbal system onto a receiver plate with a few quick actions. This not only saves valuable time on set but also ensures a precise and rock-solid connection, crucial for maintaining the gimbal’s stability and performance. It’s built to withstand the rigorous demands of large-scale cinematic productions.

Key Components (Typically Included):

While specific contents can vary slightly by revision, a typical MōVI XL Quick Release Kit includes:

• MōVI XL Quick Release Top Plate (Male Dovetail): This plate permanently attaches to the bottom of the MōVI XL gimbal. It features a male dovetail design that slides into the receiver.
• Quick Release Receiver (Female Dovetail): This component mounts to your desired support platform (e.g., Mitchell mount base, speed rail adapter, camera cheese plate). It securely locks the male dovetail from the MōVI XL.
• Safety Lock/Lever: A positive locking mechanism or lever ensures the gimbal is securely fastened and prevents accidental release. Often includes a safety pin.
• Mounting Hardware: Various bolts and screws to attach the receiver to different support systems.

Key Features:

• Rapid Deployment & Transition: Enables incredibly fast, tool-less mounting and unmounting of the MōVI XL, drastically reducing setup and transition times between shots and platforms.
• Rock-Solid, Secure Connection: Provides an extremely rigid and reliable lock, ensuring the heavy MōVI XL and its camera payload remain perfectly stable, even during aggressive movements or high-speed operations.
• Repeatable Precision: Designed for consistent, repeatable mounting, allowing operators to quickly return to a precise setup without re-balancing or extensive adjustments.
• High Load Capacity: Engineered to safely support the substantial weight of the MōVI XL and its maximum camera payload, meeting professional cinema demands.
• Versatile Mounting Options: The receiver often features multiple mounting patterns (e.g., Mitchell mount compatibility, 3/8″-16 threaded holes) to adapt to a wide array of support equipment.
• Durable, Machined Construction: Crafted from high-grade, precision-machined aluminum, guaranteeing exceptional strength, longevity, and resistance to wear and tear.
• Minimizes Downtime: By simplifying swaps between setups, the kit maximizes shooting efficiency and reduces costly delays on set.

The Freefly Systems MōVI XL Quick Release Kit is a crucial MōVI XL accessory and an indispensable component for professional gimbal rigging. It provides the speed, security, and versatility required to integrate the Freefly MōVI XL cinema robot into diverse and dynamic production workflows.
