As with anything, practice makes perfect, and in my opinion more experience operators will have the upperhand here. I’ve only seen very experienced camera operators with large ALEXA setups use geared head wheels to control the camera movement, but the MoVI Wheels with some practice can get you halfway there. Freefly have also made it possible to easily adjust wheel friction, gear ratios, and toggle wheel modules on the fly.įor any of you who’ve ever used a geared head on a tripod, it is a whole new world of fluid movement, but it does take some time to get used to and mastering it takes a long time. The Freefly MoVI Wheels feature a modular, adjustable mounting base that allows the gimbal operator to quickly position each wheel module for maximum comfort. The Movi Wheels are optimized to work seamlessly with the MōVI ecosystem, and are compatible with the beefy Movi XL, the MoVI Pro, and the MoVI Carbon (now available with the Panasonic GH5s, which we wrote about here). The MoVi Wheels have been designed with flexibility in mind giving operators the choice of controlling Pan & Tilt, in addition to adding a third axis – the Roll, for extended control over the camera/gimbal movement. (we would love to see a photo of a setup that actually requires that capacity) Because you are able to “let in” or “let out” the cable, you can fine-tune the resistance necessary for your setup.Freefly Systems, the “Godfathers” of handheld gimbal stabilizers that were single-handedly responsible for the explosion of this exciting sub-segment of filmmaking gear that we now know as 3-axis gimbal stabilizers, continue to innovate and have just added another innovative addition to their impressive image stabilization system – the MoVI Wheels, designed to give gimbal operators that old-school feel of a “geared-head” wheels for an unmatched level of control and precision. The vibration isolator of this system can use up to 24 sections of cable of up to 7/16″ diameter. 16, 1/4″ sections will support approximately 65 pounds. 8, 1/4″ sections will support a standard Ronin with a mid to full-size camera. Standard cable requirement for a Ronin-M with DSLR is 4, 1/4″ sections of cable.

With our patent pending design you can build up the system to accommodate ANY gimbal/camera combination using standard cable “wire rope”. What makes the Cloud Mount markedly unique is the versatility of the parts and the degree of fine-tuning and customization possible. For some surfaces suction is necessary and every option includes 8 of our standard suction cups and vacuum suction cups are available for the most demanding applications.Īs with all RigWheels products, there are many different ways you can configure components depending on the shot you’re trying to achieve. The magnets are cased in rubber so they won’t damage the surface you are mounting to. Our “standard” option with 16 magnets provides up to 800lb of pulling force. Our RigMount magnets are the key to the fast and easy setup of the Cloud Mount. With a small reconfiguration you can change to a ‘sidecar” or “underslung” position. The Cloud Mount can be deployed to its standard configuration and ready for your gimbal in under one minute. Other vibration isolator systems rely extensively on third party rigging and hardware which drastically increases the time necessary to get up and rolling and increases the cost of a working system (more than $500.00 for typical four point rigging). This is a all-in-one solution and usually requires no additional grip and rigging hardware to implement. In the same way that Handheld Gimbal Stabilizers have drastically reduced the time required to achieve smooth dynamic camera movement, the Cloud Mount tremendously reduces the amount of time necessary and the complexity involved with mounting a vibration isolator system to a vehicle. The RigWheels Cloud Mount camera vibration isolator system is the most practical and versatile vibration isolation system for filmmaking available.īuilding on our RigMount XL mounting platform, the Cloud Mount adds a vibration isolator to allow your handheld gimbal to work more effectively and with less strain on its motors and bearings.
