Movi pro review1/4/2024 I won’t get into too many details on the app, but I would say it is the weakest link in the whole MoVI M5 product. I got my MacBook Pro to hook up via Bluetooth and got to making some settings adjustments. I went online to find out that there is no iOS app for the MoVI M5, though Android, Windows and Mac OSX are supported. Strange, maybe it’s an iPad-only app I thought, so I got out my iPad… still nothing. I knew you could make settings adjustments using an app over Bluetooth, so I pulled out my iPhone and got on the App Store. There is a slight delay in the way the camera follows your aim, this is a smoothing function that can be adjusted using the control app. We were initially very impressed with how light it is, and how it seemed to gently angle the camera toward wherever you aimed the rig. We picked it up off the stand and started to walk around the halls of the office. The MoVI M5 aims to liberate your camera to achieve shots once thought impossible.Īt this point, we had watched no videos on how to use the MoVI M5, nor had we seen anyone use one in Majestic Mode (Freefly’s name for the single-operator mode). We were up and running with a Canon EOS 5D Mark III in less than five minutes. However, the MoVI M5’s quick releases and carbon rods make balancing incredibly fast and easy. For one, balancing inside a gimbal is different than the typical Steadicam approach which uses counterweights. We’ve balanced many different Steadicam stabilizers over the years, so we are pretty familiar with finding a camera’s balance, although this was a bit different. We decided to give it a go before watching any of the videos to see how intuitive the process is. Freefly has videos on their website that detail the initial setup, balancing and some basic use as well. The MoVI M5 comes with a very simple instruction sheet. The MoVI M5 stand - used to balance the camera and to hold the MoVI M5 when not in use - is assembled quickly much like an odd, 4-legged tent pole. Assembly is quick and involves attaching the top handle and connecting a battery. Upon opening it, we were immediately impressed by how compact the MoVI M5 is when stored. The MoVI M5 came in a relatively slim box. The MoVI M5 is Freefly’s newest and most accessible addition to the MoVI camera stabilization systems line-up.
