When we built the original MōVI, the stand was a huge pain in the butt. While some of them won’t be enabled at launch, we are excited to see how people will use MIMIC and how we can quickly develop and enable features to allow users to interact with the MōVI in the most natural and organic way. With its suite of sensors and long range wireless, the possibilities that exist with MIMIC are incredible to think about. In the end, we created an incredibly flexible and adaptable building block for our camera movement ecosystem. Control of MōVI Pointing / FIZ / and Camera.When we sat down to design MIMIC for MōVI Pro, we had a huge wish list: We knew we would come back and do a new version of the MIMIC at some point, but wanted the technology in people’s hands until we had the time to tackle the project in earnest. The idea was so powerful we decided to use existing hardware and rush it to market in just over a month. Once we tried it with customers, we were sold. We got the idea to put handles on the controller to create an intuitive controller that allows all camera operators to successfully point the camera. We came up with the idea after playing with a new mode in the MōVI Controller that allowed users to control gimbal pointing with the built-in IMU in the MōVI Controller. MIMIC Beta was a huge win for Freefly and our customers. It also makes a really cool growling noise and they made a special “NECKFACE” version for the release of Ty Evans, Neckface video: Shane has helped me tune many a gimbal over the years, but now I can achieve a ‘Shane Tune” even if he is sleeping… He drastically reduced the time it takes to autotune, and added the ability to set the filters. Shane to the rescue.he devised the algorithm behind Autotune V2 which finds optimal settings for Pan,Tilt, and Roll stiffness and filter settings in around 10 seconds! We knew by now that people just want to shoot - not pet and tune their gimbal for hours. We have had plenty of emails over the years where people have had trouble getting smooth footage only to find out their stiffness values are all 10! We knew a key aspect to ultra stable shots was improving customers’ success with tuning and optimizing their gimbal. Basically, only a few people on our team are ‘gimbal whisperers’ and can tune them to their full potential. The optimal tuning changes with lens, gimbal pose, accessories, etc. Being able to hot swap and run on longer periods is Huge. Especially for cable cam shots, previously we were having to battery swap and power down every hour. Ryan: Phenomenal, be able to hot swap and power our Alexa Mini or Red for that amount of time will change our workflow drastically. The feedback from people on set has been that this is one of the best new features on the MōVI Pro.įreefly: How was the workflow with the new batteries? It took quite a few iterations, but we ended up with a battery that achieved all these goals.
