“For a confined car shot on The Bridge, I had a Canon 7D, PL-mounted Zeiss Super Speed 25-mm lens and remote focus on the MōVI M5. I could move in and around the car with smooth precision, showing a reverse-angle perspective of a grisly murder victim. It was a great way to do a non-linear move in a confined space, hand-held with zero rigging and without the complication of a dolly, jib or crane.” Dave Frederick, SOC

Pricing for MōVI M5 (including stand and two batteries with charger) is $4,995. Radio controller for Dual Operator Mode is available as an optional accessory.
