Freefly Systems has just released a whole new power solution for their Mōvi Pro and Mōvi Carbon stabilized systems. Their new SL4 SuperLight batteries offer an improved capacity of 4.1Ah/86.4Wh, USB-C output, and a status display. They retail for $360 per piece.

These are some of the reasons why most professional Mōvi Pro users tend to lean towards Ignite Digi plates with Lemo outputs and DJI TB50 batteries. Now, Freefly Systems is coming up with a fresh power solution built around their new SL4 batteries. Is this enough to stop the TB50 trend? Let’s take a closer look! Mōvi Pro with SL4 batteries.
