MōVI
Wired Control Kit
Installation Manual
July 2018 | Rev 01

Overview
The MōVI Wired Control Kit allows for reliable control in crowded
radio frequency environments that may otherwise lead to
interference. The wired solution also helps reduce the radio
frequency emissions of the system.
The kit includes two types of coax cable to choose from. The
thinner RG-174 cable is better for shorter distances and when
more flexibility is preferred. The RG-58 is better for longer
distances and is more durable.

Installation
STEP 1
On the MōVI Pro or MōVI XL, connect the Freefly SMA RX
(receiver) to the COM1 port on the GCU via the black 5-pin cable.
On M-Series MōVI (M5/M10/M15), connect the Freefly SMA RX
(receiver) to the Com port on the GCU, routed under the strain
relief cover.
STEP 2
Bind the MōVI Controller to the SMA RX as per the instructions on
page 13 of the MōVI Controller manual.

STEP 3
If you are using the MōVI XL, route the coax cable through
the pan motor. If using with other MōVI models, guide cable
around pan motor and down to the GCU. Always route cabling so
that it has enough slack during shooting action such that it doesn’t
restrict movement.
