This EOSHD.com article covers the new M\u014dVI lightwweight handheld gyro-stabilizer <\/a>from Freefly Systems<\/a>.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019ve ever wanted to pull off just about any camera move with a tiny handheld rig, that just became reality. Potentially replacing the traditional steadicam at a stroke the tiny lightweight\u00a0M\u014dVI (easier to Google as \u201cMoVI\u201d) is a gyro stabilised platform with gimbal and hand grip. It appears to be so effective it allows you to execute a tracking shot without a track, a pan \/ tilt without a tripod and a dolly shot without a dolly!<\/p>\n

There are two versions \u2013 the M5 andM10<\/a>. The M5 is designed for smaller DSLRs like the Panasonic GH3 and costs $7500. Compared to a high end Steadicam that\u2019s almost affordable to some consumers let alone pros. You can see someGH3 footage in Vincent\u2019s Vimeo On Demand download<\/a>, the proceeds of which go to the charityLollipop Theater<\/a>\u00a0which is a quite lovely cause bringing movies to hospitalised children.<\/p>\n

The high end model costs $15,000 and can support a paired down Epic or Canon 1D C but not the heavier and larger cameras like the Alexa. Future developments are planned on that front.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
