    How bad is an Improper Shutdown? Low Battery Warning?

    I know it’s my fault, but since getting the Scarlet-W about 3 weeks ago I’ve had two improper shutdowns due to the battery dying. I have 150wh which lasts about 2 hours with 7Q and wireless transmitter, but wow… the batteries go so fast! From reading some other threads, seems like others often...

    DSMC2 / S-W Newbie Questions

    • When I remove the lens, is the OLPF covering the sensor? Obviously it’s a good idea to always cover the sensor when changing lenses, but it’s a little less hairy when there’s a piece of glass in-front. Does the OLPF serve this purpose? • Can I have the V-Mount battery attached and have the AC...

    DSMC2 Compatible Batteries

    DSMC2 Compatible Batteries This thread might be helpful to those about to invest in batteries for DSMC2. 1) Seems like currently with the DSMC2 Base I/O V-Lock Expander, mainly batteries that comply with RED protocol data. V-Mounts that do not follow Red battery status standards (ones that...

    Recording the SDI signal into 7Q for backup?

    On my current Sony FS7, I usually have the Odyssey 7Q attached and on important jobs I have it record the SDI out just to have a backup in case something happens to the memory cards. On the DSMC2 bodies, can you record clean / useable HD footage from the SDI? This would be a precaution in case...

    Experiences with SquareTrade warranties?

    Anyone ever buy a product and pay extra for a SquareTrade warranty? I rarely buy extended warranties, but I'm think of purchasing a DJI Wireless Follow Focus and to say the least, their quality control is a bit suspect. B&H offers a 2 or 3 year SquareTrade warranty for $200 to $300 dollars...

    Red Armor, Reliability and Repair Discussion

    Poll Above - I should have added a "Sometimes I buy" option for Red Armor. I have my S-W I/Opackage coming soon and one of the big dilemmas is whether to buy Red Armor - extra 750 days for $1250 which is quite a bit when you’re trying to buy other stuff - mags, wireless FF, new lens, etc…...

    Can Scarlet-W / DSMC2 run 4.7 Touch, HDMI and SDI out simultaneously?

    I was wondering if the Scarlet-W / DSMC2 bodies can run 4.7 Touch, HDMI and SDI out simultaneously? In a full case scenario, I'm going to be using the 4.7" touch, with my 7Q on the SDI and Nyrius Aries Pro wireless transmitter on the HDMI out. Will this all work at the same time? I know I...

    Battery Dilemma, Opinions Please: 82wh vs 147wh, Size vs. WH

    So I’m getting some new V-Mounts for my Scarlet-W and I’m torn between size vs. watt hours. I’m going to be powering a 7Q and a wireless transmitter off the battery regularly. Sometimes a wireless FF. This will be for general use, NOT gimbal specific. My two choices both affordable: Swit = $260...

    Can Weapon LCD be flipped upside down yet? Sunhoods?

    Since only the Weapons has shipped, this is a question for you guys. I know it's been mentioned that the DSMC2s will have the ability to flip the image upside down in case you want to hang the LCD upside down. Has this been enabled yet on the Weapon? The reason I ask is I'm getting the...

    Re-using Mini Mags without formatting?

    I'm buying the Scarlet-W kit and it comes with the 120 gig card. I'm going to be able to afford 1 extra 512 gig card. I know it's not ideal to have different capacity cards, but it's all my money will allow me. My question are: 1) If you shoot half of the 512 gig card and DIT takes it for...

    Bebob V-Mounts. Anyone try them?

    Anyone on here ever try Bebob V-Mounts from Germany? On paper, sounds good - Cells from Japan and made in Germany. I definitely trust the Germans more than the Chinese (and I am Chinese, LOL) to come out with a good product. Good price, light weight at 825 gr for a 150wh. My friend has been...

    Anyone try the new Paralinx Ace SDI Wireless yet?

    Hello I know the Paralinx Ace SDI wireless transmitter is pretty new, but has anyone tried it yet? Great price at $1800 which is about $700 cheaper than Teredek (which is solid / works well). I have a ghetto Nyrius Aries Pro which really sucks as it goes out all the time. Need a solid SDI...

    Using non-Red V-Mount. Battery / voltage indicators

    I ordered the Scarlet-W and I’m stoked! I have a question on V-Mount batteries. I’m planning on getting some Swit S-8110S 126wh batteries because they seem to be a decent wh vs. weight ratio vs price. http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1130046-REG/swit_s_8110s_126wh_v_mount_battery.html...

    Semi-affordable Wireless Transmitter?

    Hello, I was wondering if you guy could recommend a semi-affordable wireless follow focus that is decent? I like the Teredek, but I believe it's $3000 which is more than I can spend. Going to buy a Cinegear Wireless FF in the near future and hoping to pair it up with a wireless transmitter...

    Using lighter, 95wh V-Mount vs. heavier, 160wh V-Mounts

    I'm going to be a new Red owner soon. I put the deposit down for Raven, but I might just splurge and get the Weapon MG. Lately, I've been running my camera on a jib quite a bit on my indie / low budget projects. This makes for really quick camera setup and allows for interesting movement on the...
