This mount is designed especially for big High-End camera's for aerial work that will also work with wind and high speed flying.


We have chosen for a rigid design with big 25mm bearings on the pan and roll axels, the mount is very stiff and all the axels are smooth without any play :)


Optional there is also a mounting position created on top off the tilt arms to make it possible to mount the camera also on top for (Hot-Shoe) extra rigid mounting of the camera.




Tilt = direct drive
Roll = belt drive 2:1
Pan = belt drive 3:1


Some photo's before the electrical build .

It's the most solit mount I've seen . This give you the safe to lift a Red camera.
Have you thinking to make your gimbal as a handheld ? It's very interesting . What will be the price . You
are a good on design your units . Wait for .

Hi smaris,

We have no intension to make a handheld version of it, this mount is designed for far more difficult conditions when flying in windy situations and speed flying.

But a hand-held conversion will be easily done, especially when used with the Quick-Lock mounting system ;)

Send us an email for further information.

Greetings and Merry Christmas,

Mario

Ok Mario I'm tempted. Looking forward to test vids. One note. Would KILLLLLLL for any gimbal that had EXTERNAL Balancing screws or at the least a Quick Disconnect incorporated into the camera plate. Having to unload/reload/unload/reload the camera to make micro balance adjustments adds easily an hour to our gigs when we're being provided a camera and not flying one of our own. If anything this is why the Movi has value at all. Didnt get a chance to go over it in micro detail but are you using hollow shaft or sliprings? Would also like to see detail of quick release to Heli. Hoping this uses some incorporation of standard 15mm rail mounts. Additionally the ability to convert to handheld adds a ton of value!!

Note: When using an independent second board as expansion assuming this allows for same functions os 3rd Axis Expansion Board - Follow Functions specifically??

Hi SMP,

There are so many aftermarket options and wishes for a camera quick release so we didn't jump in to that, but the mounting plate is big enough to fit them all we hope, if not there will always be a custom solution ;)

In the future there will be a optional dual bearing solution with a high grade Moflon ( MMC2509 - Suffix-FL03 ) slipring integrated at the opposite side of the tilt motor, probably also for the pan axel.

Video of our mount quick release,


In our experience a single sensor for all axels will not work when the tilt axel is at 90° down, the solution is two boards and two sensors one for the tilt and the other one for roll and pan.

Aerial DP
you might want to research the way there doing these now....... 3rd axis boards aren't another board, the 70 amp board you need is all in one and not that mount bolt pattern.....

To give you guys an idea of the size of this mount a photo with a completely balanced (all axels) GH2 with 14-140 lens.

Chuckling, bit of overkill that... how about a Scarlet/Epic/F5 w/wo batteries, CPs and Barco? (Rental House for a little photo shoot??) I'm presuming this isnt a build thread and will be offered for sale yes?

Because we want to run the mount on 20V (max Alexmos) frome the flight lipo we ordered a slipring and a step-down regulator.




Slipring is the Moflon MMC2509 - Suffix-FL03
MMC250 Slip Rings - Moflon Slipring


Step-Down converter.
EUR ? 7.35 - DC naar DC 4.5-30V naar 0.8-30V 5A Ajustable Step Down Converter Voltage Regulator, Gratis Verzending voor alle Gadgets!


The 12 pieces 2A contacts are put together so we have 2 pieces 12A contacts.






Slipring thickened with 2x shrinktube so it's a tide fit in the pan bus.



Some drops of CA to glue it on the pan bus.
