Freefly, the company you probably know best for its Movi camera stabilization system, announced the $10,000 Wave camera capable of super slow motion capture in 4K. Using a super35 global shutter sensor, the camera weighs just 716 grams (25 ounces) and features a passive E-mount.
The MōVI freefly systems are very expensive, there's no denying that. But when you see this behind the scenes video and the footage that the Red Bull Media House was able to capture with it while the camera man launched off massive jumps and flew through the air on skis, you'll never wonder whether or not it's worth it again.
If you've never seen a 3-axis brushless motor gimbal in action, this video might seem out of this world... or fake. But it's not fake, just the magic of advanced camera stabilization technology that'll cost you several thousand dollars to wield for yourself (unless, of course, you have the engineering know-how to build one yourself).
Over the last several days, one particular piece of new gear has been getting a lot of attention as a potential "game changer" for the videographers among us. A new hand-held stabilization rig, the MoVI is a three-axis, gyroscopic, completely silent system that's looking to revolutionize the professional stabilization market.
