Description
FREEFLY MOVI XL to Mitchell Adapter
The Freefly Systems MōVI XL to Mitchell Adapter is a specialized, robust rigging component designed to seamlessly integrate the Freefly MōVI XL 3-Axis Gimbal Stabilizer with the industry-standard Mitchell mount system. This adapter is essential for professional cinematographers who need to mount their large-format MōVI XL (and its heavy camera payload) onto a wide array of existing cinema equipment, such as heavy-duty tripods, dollies, cranes, jibs, remote heads, or vehicle mounts that feature a Mitchell receiver.
The Mitchell mount is a ubiquitous, time-tested standard in professional film and television production, known for its extreme stability, load capacity, and robust locking mechanism. The MōVI XL to Mitchell Adapter acts as a precise interface, converting the MōVI XL’s mounting pattern into a Mitchell base. This allows the MōVI XL to leverage the reliability and versatility of Mitchell-based rigging, facilitating stable and secure camera movements from a wide range of support platforms. It’s built to withstand the substantial forces and demands of cinematic production.
Key Features:
- Mitchell Mount Compatibility: Precisely machined to integrate with any standard Mitchell mount receiver, ensuring a secure, wobble-free connection to industry-standard cinema support equipment.
- Robust Construction: Typically crafted from high-grade, precision-machined aluminum or stainless steel, providing exceptional strength and durability to safely support the heavy MōVI XL and its camera payload.
- Secure Locking Mechanism: Features a robust locking mechanism (often a threaded Mitchell nut or similar design) that tightly secures the adapter to the Mitchell mount, preventing any play or rotation.
- Direct MōVI XL Integration: Designed to bolt directly and securely onto the bottom of the MōVI XL gimbal, or onto a compatible Freefly Quick Release plate already attached to the gimbal.
- Precision Machining: Ensures a perfect fit and alignment, which is critical for maintaining the MōVI XL’s stabilization performance and preventing any unwanted movement between the gimbal and its support.
- Versatile Rigging Solution: Unlocks a vast array of mounting possibilities for the MōVI XL, allowing it to be integrated into diverse production scenarios, from studio setups to complex vehicle rigs.
- Minimized Added Height/Weight: Designed to be as low-profile and lightweight as possible while maintaining maximum strength, to avoid negatively impacting the gimbal’s balance or overall rig size.
The Freefly Systems MōVI XL to Mitchell Adapter is a fundamental MōVI XL accessory and a crucial piece of professional cinema rigging. It’s an indispensable tool for cinematographers seeking to maximize the versatility and stability of their Freefly MōVI XL gimbal by connecting it to a wide range of heavy-duty, industry-standard support systems.
