power loss on camera shake?

[Alexander Alexandrov]

I have been experiencing camera shutdown;
I use shoulder mount lately and, for example, when i lift the rig to put on my shoulder; it isnt extreme shake or anything... or any bump...

thinking its the battery plate?
anyone else came across similar issue?

It's most likely the battery plate. It's been discussed here before.

It's a battery plate issue or a bad connection of your power contacts. Try a different battery plate and see if the issue is still there. The V2 RED battery plate (which hopefully most people have by this point) works great, the V1, started having problems after a lot of use.

is the V2 battery plate part of the upgrade program? if it is, what exactly is replaced, the whole plate? i recently sent mine alog with the red audio board upgrade, but looks like its same old plate to me (maybe the connections are being upgraded).

I've just sent in my cradle/plate to address this problem...
