The much loved, but discontinued Freefly Cinema Robot has been revived for possible use with the Xreal Beam Pro 3D camera.
Biggest challenges:
1) The Android version of the Freefly Movi app does not work with Android 14.
Fortunately, I was able to do a basic set up with an iPhone. (The trigger and buttons don't work of course, as it is meant for the Freefly Movi app.
2) Because of the size of the Beam Pro and the location of the cameras lenses, the phone has to be pushed over to the left (along with the optional counterweight set). One still needs to slide it over an additional 1/2 inch to clear the arm. Otherwise, the right camera will see part of the motor.
It works satisfactorily with all those caveats.
(The insta360 Flow has the same issues when trying to balance the Xreal Beam Pro. You have to add a counterweight.)
