@Vitaliy_Kiselev Of course a dolly and crane will give you more controllable footage but the setup time is far greater per shot and you are locked into it once you set up. This sort of system allows for much much quicker setups and more spontaneous camera work. Also a shot that they suggested could not be done using existing methods would be to chase a small child through a narrow gap in a fence seamlessly following it through to the other side without break away sets and scene shifting. One operator passes the camera through the gap to another op on the other side. This is the sort of shot that is now much more capable of being achieved in limited budget. Anyway I believe it opens up far greater options for a low budget production if the cost of the gear is amortised over the films budget.

If DIY made for GH3 for me would be great, i don't use bigger cameras :-)

Any camera will work with it, including cheap HDSLRs, and it will still save a mountain of time to get similar/same shots. It is costly, but I wouldn't say it takes a lot of skill. It's the same skill for the guys that control the gimble on my copter. Most of them can pick it up in an hour. It can be programmed to be very "soft" to the touch so even noob's will have success.
For the heavier cameras, there will be mounting solutions. Someone will have this on a steadicam before long.

That's BS. There is nothing worse than a cheap crane and flexible dolly track when you have a heavier camera like the 1DC or Epic. And you still have to SET IT UP. With the MoVi you can run-n-gun.

Yep, you have to set it up. And I mean here mostly people who shoot of cheap HDSLRs, not Epic users. For most indie guys it is simpler to plan the shot, rather to depend on very costly solution requiring very skilled operators. Plus shooting on this thing with Epic is possible for short amount of time only.

Looks good huh, as I understand as well as acting as a gimbal and can also be controlled as a motorised head on a crane etc. Once it is also hooked up to a Steadicam style of vest I see it as an amazing piece of kit. If people want or need it they will buy one, and I guess it should be one of the cheapest on the rental market which would be the best route for the indies!!!

Of course as a one off purchase this looks ludicrously expensive (to the indie crowd) but in the scheme and budget of a feature film I'd say it's fantastic value for money. Even on commercials you could make your money back in a few jobs, by saving on tracks dolly crane ( to a certain extent) . Obviously there will be people who make it cheaper but I think the game changing aspect is more in the shots it opens up to you with the smaller form factor. So many crazy camera moves spring to mind I find this really inspiring. In the short there are fantastic low angle street shots in front of cabs in New York that would have cost the budget to have setup let alone shoot on a traditional car rig etc. So the revolution I see is in how you can use this to totally change the way you shoot.

Ive been emailing MultiCopter and Accessory manufacturers for the past 12 mths trying to get them to adapt their gymbal system to a handheld device and ALL of them ignored me. Good on FreeFly for recognizing that there is a market for this type of stabilizer and doing something about it, even if it is a little out of my reach purchase wise.

May be it'll change soon :-) As I understand goal of FreeFly - they wanted to make solution for larger cameras.

If what MOVI is doing is such a no brainer then why isn't it a big selling item already in production and use everywhere? Too many people on this forum LIVE for the idea of being non conformist and going against the crowd, hating on guys like Bloom and Laforet for being successful and making some money pushing products... come on guys it's petty. As for the price, people are allowed to charge what they want to charge for their products and if the market doesn't support them that's the only real final judgment on that decision.

Seems to me they're trying to make a quality product that can handle any size camera and that's gonna make the cost higher. Also build quality is important. Everything can't cost $5.00. There seems to be no end to the number of technically knowledgeable members here so if you see a product that you think cost too much, go and figure out how to make one cheaper yourself. JUST STOP HATIN. We've been blessed with a ton of great cheap products, not everything is gonna fit into that niche.

Hats off personal view community! PV is the only community that does not blindly buy the 'revolution' hype and promotion from Laforet.

The cheaper versions won't be far away.

It's a new tool for the trade. Sure, others have mounted their gimbals to a handheld rig before and made a little youtube video, but Freefly made it sexy and paired up with people that have big followings.
The sensors are the easy part. I think the hard part is writing the code that interprets the sensors and moves the motors. It's expensive now, but isn't every new piece of technology?

@Vitaliy_Kiselev you should make videos like this guy :p
