Freefly Ember S5K Rental

Ember S5K rental — continuous high speed in 4K and 5K

Freefly Ember S5K stems from Freefly Systems' experience after the MōVI gimbal and Wave camera launches. Ember is an evolved, faster follow-up model that can record Apple ProRes 10-bit directly to an internal 4 TB NVMe SSD, avoiding intermediate dumps or limited RAM buffers.

This high-speed camera captures extremely fast action with a simple workflow: continuous recording, app control and efficient ProRes encoding. It’s ideal for dramatic slow motion in advertising, film, sports and experimental projects.

• S35 (Gpixel) 21 MP sensor with native resolution 5120 x 4096 (5:5).
• High-speed in 5K and 4K with multiple aspect ratios.
• Global shutter to eliminate rolling shutter and motion artifacts.
• Over 11 stops dynamic range for extreme slow motion.
• Continuous recording with no clip limit to internal 4 TB NVMe SSD.
• Apple ProRes 10-bit codec in Rec.709.
• Main control via EMBER app for iOS (no integrated screen).
• Compact cube body 100 x 104 x 86 mm, 820 g (with E-mount), easy to rig on gimbals and systems.

Our experience with the FREEFLY EMBER S5K on high-speed shoots

• We configure Ember S5K as a primary or high-speed camera to complement digital cinema units, integrating it into existing workflows and ensuring visual continuity between cameras.
• We design kits with PL or E-mount lenses and slow-motion specific accessories, prioritizing lightweight rigging, stable power and reliable monitoring.
• We optimize exposure, shutter and frame rate settings according to the action, maximizing the global-shutter sensor performance and ensuring enough light for high-speed shooting.

Freefly Ember S5K and the Freefly ecosystem

Integration with MōVI and Freefly drones

Freefly Systems redefined camera movement with the MōVI gimbal and multirotor platforms like CineStar, ALTA Pro and Astro. Ember inherits this philosophy: a compact camera designed to mount on gimbals, drones, RC cars or light rigs while keeping stability and motion control.

• Compatibility with MōVI gimbals for 3-axis stabilization.
• Use on ground platforms like TERO and RC vehicles.
• Integration into Freefly drones for high-speed aerial shots.
• Advanced remote control via the app and Freefly ecosystems.

Pre-record and external SSDs

Ember's pre-record feature combined with the ability to record to external SSDs expands its versatility on film, advertising and TV shoots where capturing precise moments without losing action is critical.

This maintains a rolling buffer before pressing REC so even fast unexpected actions are preserved—vital for high-speed production.

Rigs, accessories and professional use of Ember S5K

At Camaleon Rental we integrate Ember into ready-to-shoot configurations: mounts, power, rigging and support so the camera runs stably on set.

• Compact rigs for gimbal, handheld, tripod or vehicle mount.
• Power solutions for intensive shooting days.
• Lens supports and follow focus for precise high-speed focus pulls.
• Monitoring and video assist for directors and clients.

We combine Ember with primary and B-unit cameras, designing shooting strategies that maximize slow motion to reinforce each project's visual language.
