  • Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

+1 Module shipping next week

Brent, since you're up late with the rest of us, two questions, is the Tactical Plate shipping at the end of March (not before)? And is it easy to change the shipping destination of an existing web order the morning?
 
Steve, "by end of March", not "at end of March" :)

Yes, just contact your rep. As long as your order has not started processing, you can edit that with them.
 
Why didn't you just put the 2pin Lemo port on the module to begin with? Clearly you realize most equipment need a 2pin Lemo for power, which is why you're offering that pigtail cable. Thanks for that cable, it makes that Aux port actually usable. But now we need to deal with ANOTHER adapter pigtail cable that makes cable management on these camera even more difficult and adds 2 more points of failure.

Welcome to a world that has too many standards :) Some equipment uses 4 pin, some 2 pin.. albiet I agree with you 2 pin looks like it is winning the race as of now. pick either one and you will make one person happy and one person angry. We have always had 4 pin aux lemo outputs since the start with RED ONE to the PRO IO etc... so we are keeping it consistent with everyone that already has had cables made for their stuff that is in the RED program... the pigtail is an option for those that haven't yet.

We will cross over to whoever wins that war.. but its not a war that we are dictating. 19mm rods vs 15mm rods, offset vs studio, v lock vs AB....the list is long but we can't do everything when you need to choose one.

Jarred, does an adapter cable to 3 pin ever enter the eco-system?

Only if enough people scream for it :) there are many custom cable companies out there that can make up anything.

For what its worth.. I hate the array of different plugs as much as all of you. Unfortunately its the world we live in. I dont think there is a single industry that uses one global standard connector for power, in either the consumer or professional world.

What about you guys building a power breakout box, USB, 2,3,4 pin power and hot swap capabilities similar to what the rental houses are doing.

Also, note the aux power out Lemo on the +1. This little guy is going to be a cable most of you will have in your kits: http://www.red.com/store/products/4-pin-to-2-pin-adaptor-cable

Ordered thanks Brent, and thank you guys for making it!! I was already trying to figure out how to use some of our 2Pin accessories, got to love RED for it, this is what I like my company of choice to be, ready to make things to make their gear more and more usable by other gear, thinking ahed and making before any one even asks for it.

I'm down with the purchase of the plus 1, but am I missing something in that the Backpack Adapter doesn't ship until the "end of March". Agh! what to do now with the onboard batteries until then? Suggestions?

Having a MG1 AB plate...what do I do in the meantime...?

That's a legitimate reason. The only thing I've ever seen use that port though are Microforces though. I guess I was hoping you guys would move on from legacy things, like that, at some point to help make the system a little more practical in today's world.
 
Just a word about camera set up with the +1. I did a bit of testing with my ordinary module adapter. If you are using a v lock adapter on the epic it is going to be very difficult if not impossible to fit the LCD on the camera as there is insufficient room. It works fine with the quad or dual battery adapter as there is enough room.
