Freefly has released Power Surge (Beta v2.3.5) firmware that provides up to a 50% performance upgrade for all Mōvi Pros and Carbons.
Freefly has looked closely into motor performance, and they were able to push Mōvi Pro and Carbon performance even higher with the SL4 batteries. This beta release refines the motor temperature estimation algorithms allowing Mōvi to significantly increase the duration it can sustain maximum torque.
This sustained torque increase is particularly useful in high-speed / acceleration applications. Testing has shown 50% higher cruising speeds on the arm car and ¥the ability to capture shots on an Alta X at 66 mph. For Carbons, it is a true 20% torque increase to go along with the higher sustained torque.
It is best to think of this firmware update as Maniac Mode 2.0.
Early testers have reported improved stabilization at lower speeds and in handheld operation.
Please note that this firmware is beta. While Freefly has done extensive internal testing before this release, they still recommend testing your Movi with this firmware before taking it on a shoot.
