Look out Hollywood! These days, armed with smartphones that can capture exceptional images with a push of a button, we all have the potential to direct a cinematic masterpiece. The only thing that most of us lack is a camera crew to help bring our creative visions to life. But that’s all about to change, thanks to the new Movi Cinema Robot.
Imagine the power of holding a cinematographer, a Steadicam operator, and a dolly grip in the palm of your hand. That’s essentially what Movi offers, opening up a whole bag of filming tricks that were previously accessible only to industry professionals.
Movi employs first-in-class stabilization technology with miniaturized versions of the same Freefly gimbals that create bedrock images for Hollywood blockbusters. In laymen’s terms, this product attaches to any size smart phone device to smooth your movements and produce incredibly stable images that are worthy of big-screen projection.
Movi also assists with multiple time-lapse functions, either panning from a set position according to your preset movement path/duration or transcending time and space as a handheld device, remaining steady and pointing directly ahead no matter where you happen to roam. The Movi’s “Echo” mode allows you to repeat programmed camera moves, while its “Orbit” mode tracks steadily on a fixed subject as you circle. If you want to direct a masterpiece on a budget, this is a must.
