REDVOLT + REDVOLT travel charger

[Greg M]

For you guys that own Epic-M's... it will change your life

I agree...being able to handhold the camera without a brick tethered to the back is going to change everything. Cant wait! I hope Epic-M #98 is in the first batch

Is the battery module available, or is it side-handle only at this point?

 

[Esmaeil Neisi]

yes what about the pro battery module?

 

[Greg M]

for now its for the side handle...which imo is the best use of the redvolt. Small compact 5k camera...cant wait.

 

[Roberto Lequeux]

Wohoo.

What Greg said. This camera is too good to be true.

Being able to shoot 5k 120fps, or 2k 300fps, or 5k 60fps HDRx with redvolts and no cables with a small top shelf prime must be plain WEIRD! In the most awesome way.

 

[Mark Pugh]

Yep I can't see a great use for a redvolt battery module on the back. You might as well use v-lock batteries, and save the Redvolts for lightweight use in the side handle.
If you're on the shoulder, a v-lock battery further out the back will give better balance.

Any pics please?

 

[Peter Osinski]

isn't it funny how when you see a recon thread is only on its 3rd page of comments you know it can only be a few hours old at maximum...just goes to show how much interest there is in this company

anyway, do we know the recharge times for the redvolts?

 

[Curran Giddens]

Any pics please?

Would be nice to see some more pictures. But in the meantime you can see them in the Red Store photo for the Epic-M package.

How about charge time per battery?

2 hours 10 minutes with the travel charger for full charge.

 

[Zac C]

So the figures are approx 30min power for epic, charge is 2hrs 15mins?

 

[Stacey Spears]

Are there other chargers that will work with the REDVolts to charge more in parallel? Does the travel charger work with a cigarette lighter adapter for charging in the car?

 

[Jarred Land]

Yes. The Quad Charger that comes in the Fall will charge 4 batteries.

 

[Brigham Edgar]

any idea of price for these suckers for when they are in the store?

 

[Curran Giddens]

any idea of price for these suckers for when they are in the store?

I'm guessing about $250 per REDVolt.

 

[Greg M]

Yes. The Quad Charger that comes in the Fall will charge 4 batteries.

will it charge 4 simultaneously or 1 batt at a time? same charge time?

 

[Jeff Kilgroe]

I hope the quad charger can do at least 2 simultaneously.

Are the larger REDVOLT XL batteries still on the table? And if so, do they require a different charger or will we be able to use both batteries on the same chargers?

 

[Cüneyt Kaya]

great news. can we order a second charger along with the coming one in the m-packe till the quad comes?

 

[Roberto Lequeux]

Really hope the quad charger can handle 4 simultaneous.

5 batteries and one of those would be a grea place to be. Two travel chargers as backup, and presto!
