Advanced Media introduces FreeFly

Dubai-based distributor of broadcast equipment, Advanced Media, has added a new handheld 3-axis digital stabilised camera gimbal from FreeFly systems. With the MOVI M10, Advanced Media introduces Freefly for the first time to the UAE, adding yet another brand to the already existing stabilisers from Glidecam and Manfrotto.

The MOVI M10 boasts Freefly’s proprietary high performance IMU and brushless direct drive system among other features. Creating the gimbal from scratch allowed Freefly to precisely execute our vision for the next generation of stabilised camera gimbals.

Some of the highlights of the product include: Majestic Mode allows for a single operator to intuitively control the pointing of the gimbal by moving the handles without compromising the stabilisation of the image. The gimbal takes the operator’s movements and intelligently converts them into stabilised pan and tilt movements. This allows for very low profile single operator setup and accurate framing in tight situations.

The system features translation compensation, whereby the system will automatically adjust the camera angle to maintain a consistent frame.

Alaa Al Rantisi, Managing Director, Advanced Media LLC. said: “Freefly Movi M10 camera stabiliser is the only GPS enabled, 3-axis, digitally stabilised, handheld camera gimbal in the new world of stabilised cinematography. This revolutionary unique gimbal is a high performance inertial measurement device interfaced with a brushless direct drive system which can replace so many other camera tools.”

The MoVI features a real-time bluetooth connection to the gimbal, which outputs all pertinent performance data and allows for live adjustment of any of the gimbal parameters.
