V Mount Batteries

[Olivier Madar]

Doesn't start? Are the batteries fully charged?

In fact, when using the Red Vlock plate and cable 2B to 1b, it doesn't work. When using viewfactor Vlock plate, it works !

Just now, I am doing a little test with the 160Wh : i record on a 256G SSD and see how many time I can do with 5K, 25 fps and GMP 160Wh`

Wondering if we should just go with WC's Bricks...Seems like the additional $60/brick is worth not dealing with the hassel.

Any one had experienced on used this battery? Is it accept to use with Red Cameras?
If is not void Red Warranty, then I planning for group order directly through their marketing manager...

Honestly, if you're going to be buying a decent amount of batteries, you'd be better off just buying a RED Brick 6-pack. With the bulk buy, they come out to $350 each for 140wh, instead of $360 each for 95wh (backordered) batteries. If you need less than six, trust me, you could unload the extras pretty quick on the REDUser 'for sale' section.

Very true...Good Call.
Can you confirm that the RED Bricks are compatible the WC Switronix V-Mount?

From Swit's own website:
"[Switronix V-Mount Plate] Transmits Date to EPIC/Scarlet when used with with RED Bricks or designated Switronix RED batteries"

I will be using the Switronix V-Mount with RED Bricks. Have the plate; a 6-pack of RED Bricks is on the way. If, for any reason, this doesn't work with my Epic, I'll pass the news along.

I have 3 x 230Wh "S" type GMP's and a viewfactor plate. They work perfectly...no % read out, but voltage shows

I got myself even cheaper batteries - Beillens, which some say are the same as GMP, not sure about that but I got 2 of those:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/150wh-V-loc...s=63&clkid=7525438619767864752#ht_2342wt_1098 (but got a 2-way charger like this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/25098411557...X:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649#ht_2446wt_1155).
And I can confirm that they work with DSMC belt clip with voltage (not %) readout.
