Movi is a line of electronic gimbal stabilizers developed by Freefly Systems, widely used in professional film and television production to achieve smooth, stabilized camera movement without the bulk or setup requirements of a traditional Steadicam system. The Movi series popularized the 3-axis motorized gimbal as a standard tool for professional cinematography, enabling operators to carry cameras at almost any angle and through complex movement paths while the gimbal's motors continuously compensate for operator movement to keep the camera level and stable.

The original Movi M5 and M10, released in the early 2010s, represented a significant shift in professional camera stabilization by using brushless motors and real-time orientation sensing to replace the mechanical weight and balance system of a Steadicam. A Movi can be operated by a single person holding it at waist or arm level, mounted on a car rig, underslung from a crane, or operated remotely, giving cinematographers a versatile stabilization tool that adapts to many shooting configurations. The system allows the operator to tilt, roll, and reposition the camera independently of the stabilizer's orientation, and can be programmed for timelapse moves or remote operation in locations inaccessible to a human operator. Subsequent models extended range, payload capacity, and control options. The Movi became synonymous with a certain aesthetic of fluid, organic movement that was simultaneously stable and kinetic, influencing the visual language of contemporary documentary, commercial, and narrative filmmaking.

AI video generation tools that produce smooth, continuous camera movement with organic human-scale motion quality are producing results that are aesthetically similar to Movi-style shooting. Prompting for "smooth handheld-style movement," "fluid gimbal motion," or "stabilized operator perspective" describes this aesthetic without requiring equipment-specific terminology.
