1. Through the SPEKTRUM port of the MōVI Controller Receiver use 

the 3-pin ZH to 3-pin ZH Record Cable to connect to the MōVI 

side of the Universal Start/Stop Adapter.

2. With the appropriate Record Cable (check below), connect to the 

camera side of the Universal Start/Stop Adapter. Connect the 

2.5mm end into the remote port/shutter release of your camera.

The Universal Start/Stop Adapter can be installed on the Tilt cage near the camera. The 

cable can also be passed through the Tilt bearing and will not restrict large tilt angles.

MōVI CONTROLLER CONFIGURATION

Make sure the MōVI Controller is bound and connected to a MōVI (look for the connected icon ( ) on the MōVI 

Controller display). The Universal Start/Stop Adapter will only work with an existing MōVI connection established. 

Connecting the adapter without a MōVI connection can result in intermittent start/stop commands being sent to 

the camera. For instructions on binding, see the MōVI Controller User Manual 

(http://freeflysystems.com/software-manuals/). 

1. In the MōVI Controller’s TX Config menu, select MōVI 

Rec Type: Momentary.

This selection will remain active until the MōVI 

Controller is powered down.

To make it persistent, select TX Action: Save in the TX 

Config menu and press the Menu Set button.
