    My challenge is speed.
    I will use an Arri MINI body for both classic hand held (without MoVI), standard tripod (without MoVI), and as a MoVI rig in my hands with a ring bar and a Armor-man ARM-T02 support
    - all with in one demanding shooting day. The faster I can do this operation, the better.
    I need to remove the camera body /focus control, transmitter etc, from the the MoVI - on a standard tripod or a classic shoulder rig - and back on to the MoVI again - several times with in one day.
    I am looking for a quick release kind of solution that reduce calibration and mounting time for the MoVI down to a minimum of time:
    I have heard from other users that someone have made a good solution,
    do you know more about this ?

    Ignite Digi Australia has a system. 1A Tools makes a Movi Pro tripod adapter, and I think Kessler has something for the baseplate\quick release.

    I suggest doing focus with an Arri WCU 4, so you don't have to worry about moving a focus receiver around with you.

    Using the Tilta Arri Mini Cage would be useful, since you need to be able to add and remove the Arri EVF for Handheld. You could also piece something together from parts from SmallRig. I keep a bunch of their doo-dads in my kit and use them a lot.

    How you power the camera is up to you, but the Tilta allows for you to add a Gold mount battery to the back with a sliding quick release.

    Still, expect it to take a few minutes to switch back and forth. You also can use the Movi on a Tripod by controlling with the Mimic or a set of Geared Wheels (like Alpha Wheels).

    I have the Kessler Kwik plates for my systems. Switch from Movi pro to miller fluid head to shape shoulder rig in seconds. it has 15 mm rod mounts, and 1/4 mounts, so all of my focus devices and accessories pretty much stay built-out, and the go into the case as one unit. Switching to this system a while ago saved me a ton of time, and Kessler makes a movi pro plate for their standard Kwik plate receiver. I dunno if Arri works, probably?

    Sure. I have rented my FS7 with the plate for the week, so I am waiting for another movi pro plate to come in from Kessler for additional cameras. once that gets in, ill rig it all up for you with a DSLR.
