FREEFLY Movi XL Rod Support

The Freefly Systems MōVI XL Rod Support is a crucial rigging accessory designed to enhance the stability and versatility of the MōVI XL 3-Axis Gimbal Stabilizer. Its primary purpose is to provide a robust mounting point for industry-standard 19mm rods, which are essential for supporting various camera accessories directly in front of or below the camera payload.

In high-end cinema production, precise positioning and rigid support for heavy lenses, large matte boxes, and follow focus systems are critical. The MōVI XL Rod Support ensures these accessories are securely integrated with the camera package, maximizing the gimbal’s performance and resulting in superior shot quality.

Key Features:

• 19mm Rod Compatibility: Specifically designed to securely clamp onto and support 19mm diameter rods, the standard for heavy-duty professional cinema camera accessories.
• Enhanced Rigidity: Adds a crucial point of contact and support between the camera’s dovetail plate (or camera cage) and the 19mm rods. This increases the overall stiffness and rigidity of the entire camera package on the gimbal, minimizing flex and play.
• Improved Gimbal Performance: By making the camera and lens a more unified and rigid unit, the MōVI XL Rod Support allows the gimbal to achieve higher stiffness settings and more precise motor responses, leading to better stabilization and shot quality, especially with heavy or long lens setups.
• ARRI Dovetail Mount Compatibility: Often designed to integrate seamlessly with standard ARRI dovetail plates, providing a secure and widely compatible mounting interface.
• Optimized for MōVI XL: Custom-engineered by Freefly Systems to fit the MōVI XL’s design, ensuring perfect balance and integration within the gimbal’s ecosystem.
• Lightweight and Durable Construction: Typically machined from high-grade aluminum, it’s designed to be lightweight to avoid adding unnecessary mass to the gimbal payload, while remaining extremely robust for professional use.
• Adjustable Clamping Lever: Features an adjustable lever or knob for quick and tool-less tightening and loosening of the rods, facilitating rapid adjustments on set.
• Versatile Accessory Mounting: Once 19mm rods are secured, they become the backbone for mounting essential accessories such as:
  • Professional matte boxes (for glare control and filters)
  • Heavy-duty lens support brackets (for long/heavy lenses)
  • Wireless follow focus motors (FIZ motors)
  • Other rod-mounted accessories.

The Freefly Systems MōVI XL Rod Support is an indispensable accessory for cinematographers utilizing the MōVI XL gimbal with professional cinema cameras and lenses. It provides the necessary structural integrity and versatile mounting capability to fully leverage the gimbal’s performance, ensuring stable, high-quality footage.
