The Freefly Systems Ember is a compact and unique camera with the ability to record continuous high-speed footage directly to a 4TB internal SSD. Key features include:

  • Fast iOS based app workflow

  • Apple ProRes codec

  • Global shutter

  • Wireless control

Pushing Limits. The Freefly Ember is designed to push the limits of size, performance, and ease of use. Freefly’s philosophy behind this unit is to make it as easy to use as any run-of-the-mill camera—all you have to do is start recording and stop recording to gain optimal images and color. With upgrades to its predecessor, the Freefly Wave, this unit offers a global shutter and continuous recording of high-speed footage directly to its internal 4TB SSD.

Body Talk. This unit offers a new Gpixel sensor that shoots 5K at 600fps and 4K at 800fps, with guaranteed clean shadows and higher dynamic range. With its integrated NATO rail, accessory options are endless. All ports are located at the top of this camera, making rig setup that much easier.

Apple Pro-Res. This is the fastest camera to use Apple Pro-Res technology, offering a smooth blend of image quality, ease of use, and data-rate optimization. Just plug into the USB-C port to transfer footage, bada bing bada boom. Freefly has also rolled out an Ember iOS app to enable you to go from shooting to sharing in mere seconds, and gives you wireless control over your rig.

Locking E-Mount w/ No Electronic Control. This camera will secure tightly to Sony and third-party E-mount lenses thanks to a positive-lock E-mount. Please note that this mount does not feature any electronic communication with lenses, so you’ll be unable to use focus-by-wire E-mount lenses.
