They say they designed their own motors. From my research. The key to good gimbals is to rewind the wires in a specific way to increase torque. Motors are very simple devices. Electromagnets being cycled on and off creating rotation. So, What are the specs on the Freefly motors, and the next thing, is what makes a quiet motor. The noise may be more a controller issue.

The video above that WhiteRabbit posted on the 10th features a new road course in my area (western Washington) called The Ridge Motorsports Park. I've ridden this track a couple of times, and it's incredible. I'd take a year's pass to the Ridge over a MoVI anyday!

Kind of nice accidentally stumbling upon a clip featuring my own stomping ground here on PV.

Thanks for that video VK, this is the sort of stuff that the Movi rig excels at.

Can't wait for the smaller versions, this tech will make GoPro type footage much more usable, especially after exchanging for less wide lens.

@Andreask Nice work!

Freefly are missing their target audience... http://gifs.gifbin.com/032012/1340039982_robotic_beer_holder.gif

All that technology and gear... in service of what? These guys know the technology, but they are not what I would call filmmakers :)

I can think of a lot of unique ways to use this rig. I look at it as a new toy in the box and I hope to play with one soon. That said, the Dana Dolly is a remarkably efficient way to add fast-setup motion to your shoot for cameras of almost any size. I freaking love them. They are so quick to set up, so solid, so much cheaper than a Steadicam or Movi.
