*New* Anton/Bauer Handle for RED cameras

[paul dudeck]

Anton/Bauer has released a handle for the RED camera. The handle has many different features:

- Hard drive mount capability; can be positioned anywhere on the handle and mounted vertically or horzontally.
- Hard drive mount is "hot" which allows for mounting of a spare battery AND allows you to "hot swap" batteries with the battery on the rear. ("Hot Swap" cable is included with Handle)
- Hard drive mount has an Anton/Bauer PowerTap on it, so if you mount a spare battery, you are able to power additional accessories.
- Horizontal and Vertical mounting of the Anton/Bauer Gold Mount and allows you to move the battery out of the way of the LCD
- The Handle comes with all accessories. No need to buy items separately.

Pricing:
List$1995.00
or
List$995.00 (If you purchase or have purchased an Anton/Bauer battery system)

Please contact me at pdudeck@antonbauer.com with any questions.

I am only on the forum sporatically, so email is the best way to send me any questions.

Thanks.
Paul

I have seen this rig ans it is both solid and very lightweight. Note that the handle has a bazillion threaded holes for mounting accessories. The second plate (facing away) is a standard Anton Bauer battery mounting plate but without a cable coming off it. Instead, one can mount a spare battery there and then run a power tap cable from this plate to the main plate when it is time to hotswap batteries, never interrupting power. The cable has a diode in it to prevent backfeed of power. The other use for this plate is to mount a RED Drive or RED RAM. The item at the top of the plate is a mounting adapter for the hard drive. Also there is a focus hook pictured at the far left which mounts to the front of the handle.

Where can I purchase this set up? Is it available yet?

 

[Mitch Gross]

Available for purchase from Abel.

 

[Paul Hazlett]

is the drive holder shock mounted?

I had the pleasure of bringing my Red over to the A/B headquarters to test this product. It's really nice, very well made.
The focus hook and uninterruptible power supply are nice additions too.
I don't believe the drive mount is vibration isolated. But Paul could confirm.
Cheers,
Harry

Nice, but other aftermarket handles come with clever ways to mount the EVF.

When you are using the second battery/HD mount can you still use the handle as a handle or does the mount get in the way?

 

[Mitch Gross]

You can position the second mount anywhere along the handle in a horizontal or verticle configuration. Plenty of real estate to grab the handle. No shock mount.

How vital is the shock mount? ET is the only one with a shock mount, correct? Do most people prefer the V-Mount for your drives, or would this Anton Bauer solution be more study?
