We present the SAMI Pilot Survey, consisting of integral field spectroscopyof 106 galaxies across three galaxy clusters, Abell 85, Abell 168 and Abell2399. The galaxies were selected by absolute magnitude to have $M_r<-20.25$mag. The survey, using the Sydney-AAO Multi-object Integral field spectrograph(SAMI), comprises observations of galaxies of all morphological types with 75\%of the sample being early-type galaxies (ETGs) and 25\% being late-typegalaxies (LTGs). Stellar velocity and velocity dispersion maps are derived forall 106 galaxies in the sample.  The $\lambda_{R}$ parameter, a proxy for the specific stellar angularmomentum, is calculated for each galaxy in the sample. We find a trend between$\lambda_{R}$ and galaxy concentration such that LTGs are less concentratedhigher angular momentum systems, with the fast-rotating ETGs (FRs) moreconcentrated and lower in angular momentum. This suggests that some dynamicalprocesses are involved in transforming LTGs to FRs, though a significantoverlap between the $\lambda_{R}$ distributions of these classes of galaxiesimplies that this is just one piece of a more complicated picture.  We measure the kinematic misalignment angle, $\Psi$, for the ETGs in thesample, to probe the intrinsic shapes of the galaxies. We find the majority ofFRs (83\%) to be aligned, consistent with them being oblate spheroids (i.e.disks). The slow rotating ETGs (SRs), on the other hand, are significantly morelikely to show kinematic misalignment (only 38\% are aligned). This confirmsprevious results that SRs are likely to be mildly triaxial systems.
