Sam Cam Systems, established by experienced camera operator Sam Willey, has introduced an innovative lock system for the Mōvi Pro gimbal.
Given Willey’s expertise in handling handheld gimbals, this new product is anticipated to significantly improve the user experience for gimbal operators.
Evolution of the Mōvi Pro
The Mōvi Pro, initially launched by Freefly Systems, has unexpectedly risen to become a standard in the industry over the past seven years. This development has led various companies to create additional accessories for the original model.
Features of the New Axis Lock System
The newly released axis lock system by Sam Cam Systems stands out with its use of CNC machined and anodized aluminum, along with a steel spring-loaded locking pin. The choice of CNC aluminum is strategic, offering a blend of low-density and robust strength, which is ideal for challenging filming environments typical in gimbal usage. This system exclusively offers hard-mounted axis locks, representing a significant enhancement over the original axis lock design by Freefly’s Mōvi Pro. Its low-profile design integrates seamlessly with the Mōvi Pro and can be installed swiftly, as demonstrated in the accompanying installation video.
The axis lock system from Sam Cam Systems is a welcome upgrade for Mōvi Pro users, promising ease of setup and enhanced functionality in demanding filming scenarios.
