Freefly has launched new Ember FW and an App that allows you to connect the iPhone 15 Pro directly to Ember using USB C so you can do fast exports (as long as you have enough storage space on your phone!)
When using Ember, you can simply press the record button, roll as long as you like, and then share your best shots right from the app.
Firmware v1.4.14 (2023-09-20)
This firmware is compatible with the Beta iOS Freefly Ember App, which is available on TestFlight. (Requires the latest build.) Below you can see the full list of what is new:
- Adds setting for Project Frame Rate (Time Base). This sets the playback speed of captured video, which gets encoded in the video file. Common settings from 23.976 to 120.000 are available. See Menu and Settings for more information on how Project Frame Rate and capture FPS are related. Note: Changing Project Frame Rate may also change the HDMI output frame rate, which will cause monitors to resynchronize.
- File system improvements including safe shutdown, SSD TRIM (improves write performance), and reduced delays with many clips on the SSD. Note: Formatting may take up to 60s now.
- Support for App Control, Playback, and Export via Ethernet.
- Support for App Playback and Export via USB (fastest method).
- Improvements to App Playback and Export speed across all interfaces.
- Support for Remote Menu Control via UART. See Pinouts and Remote Control for the public interface definition. MōVI Pro/XL/Carbon support via MōVI Controller also coming soon.
- Improved timestamp accuracy for frame and IMU metadata.
- Restored User FPS all the way down to 1fps.
- On-camera UI tweaks including dedicated Play Icon (►) for one-click switch to Playback, HDMI viewport scaling to not be covered by on-screen display, new FPS list w/ speed multipliers.
- Bugfix for occasional sensor link training failures on some cameras that would cause magenta blocks to appear until a reboot.
- Other minor bugfixes and optimizations.
