FREEFLY Pop-N-Lock 50mm Quick Release
The Freefly Systems Pop-N-Lock 50mm Quick Release is a robust and highly versatile quick-release mounting solution designed specifically for attaching various accessories to 50mm diameter tubes commonly found on professional camera rigs, particularly the Freefly MōVI XL Ring Pro or other large-format tube structures. It provides a secure, fast, and tool-less method for mounting monitors, battery plates, remote heads, or other substantial accessories, greatly enhancing efficiency on set.
The Pop-N-Lock system is a cornerstone of Freefly’s modular rigging philosophy, enabling cinematographers to rapidly reconfigure their camera setups. The 50mm variant is specifically engineered for larger diameter tubes, typically used on heavy-duty gimbals or specialized rigging where maximum strength and stability are required. It comprises a male dovetail plate (which mounts to your accessory) and a female receiver clamp (which mounts to the 50mm tube), allowing for a swift and positive locking action. This system is crucial for dynamic productions where quick changes and rock-solid accessory attachment are paramount.
Key Features:
- 50mm Tube Compatibility: Specifically designed to clamp securely onto 50mm diameter tubes, common on large gimbal ring systems like the MōVI XL Ring Pro, MōVI XL Carbon Ring, or other heavy-duty speed rail setups.
- Rapid Quick-Release Functionality: Enables lightning-fast, tool-less attachment and detachment of accessories with a simple pop-and-lock mechanism, significantly reducing setup and breakdown times.
- Secure and Robust Locking: Provides a highly reliable and positive locking connection, ensuring that mounted accessories remain perfectly secure even during dynamic movements or demanding shots.
- Versatile Accessory Mounting: The male dovetail plate typically features multiple mounting points (e.g., 1/4″-20 and 3/8″-16 threads) for attaching a wide range of accessories such as large monitors, wireless video receivers, power distribution units, or custom brackets.
- Lightweight and Durable Construction: Precision-machined from high-grade, lightweight aluminum, ensuring exceptional durability and strength without adding significant weight to the camera rig.
- Anti-Twist Design: The dovetail shape and locking mechanism are designed to prevent unwanted rotation or twisting of the mounted accessory, maintaining precise positioning.
- Optimized for Freefly Ecosystem: Designed by Freefly Systems to seamlessly integrate with their MōVI gimbals and rigging components, ensuring perfect fit and optimal performance.
The Freefly Systems Pop-N-Lock 50mm Quick Release is an essential MōVI XL accessory and a fundamental component for professional camera rigging. It provides a robust, efficient, and versatile solution for mounting larger accessories onto 50mm tubes, streamlining workflows and enhancing the adaptability of high-end cinema setups.
