  • 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 :)

Anton/Bauer Gold Mount bracket

Hi Greg,
The product is in Engineering and I am just waiting to hear about availability on the 6p LEMO connectors. As you probably know, they are not easy to get, nor are they cheap!!
I will advise you once we have an estimated shipping date.
Regards,
Paul

What is the status of the AB Red Plate?
Have we confirmed yet if it will provide power data to the camera?

After finding out that I will not be able to transport several RED brick back and fourth to Italy do to the Lithium issue, I become aware of the best solution been the Anton Bauer system ( Hytron) the QR-RED I found is $225 and should be ready any day now, also it seems that for us they could be a special deal were not only the the entire A/B batterie system is discounted but we would get the QR-RED for FREE!


Keep you posted.

Any chance of the AB plate being interchangeable with the RED v-mount plate on RED's hardware? It would be handy if we could swap the RED battery plate on the cradle attachment with an AB mount plate.

I'm seriously considering the AB Gold mount batteries as a solution too. They're typically more robust than v-mount.

Ketch, if you're worried about lithium and air travel, there are NiMH based v-mount batteries that will power RED, but you won't have the power status communicated back to the camera. I'm hoping/assuming that the AB QR-RED plate will give battery info to the camera when used with appropriate batteries.
 
Yes Jeff I know, that is the reason I chose to go with the AB Hytron 100 & 140 with the QR-RED mount.

I like to be positive thinking and so I hope that in the very short future it will be possible for the AB via the QR-RED to get all the info as if using the RED brick.

But I know of no confirm workflow that allows communication to and from the camera wen other then the RED brick is used.

Jeff,
I contacted A/B months ago and requested that they build this part, I also requested that they do exactly what you have suggested and was assured that we would simply remove the screws holding the V-lock plate and attach the AB plate and cable in its place. This would allow us to keep our existing Red Quick Plate and Red Cradle. I would assume this is still the case, although they also told me I would have the plates last month.

Paul, can you confirm this?
 
The QR-RED will attached to the battery cradle/cage via 4 3mm screws. A simple install.

For those of you who wish to keep the V-Mount on the camera, you can also use the QR-DSR Gold Mount which is designed to attach to any V-Mount camera. The list price on that mount is $150.00.

As for delivery of the QR-RED mount, we have not promised any dates as of yet, but I will advise you on the board here once I have a firm date. As you know, the LEMO connectors are not the easiest connector to purchase...

Paul,

Thanks for the clarification. I'm looking forward this - it will be a great option.
 
Abel has the QR-DSR Gold Mount in stock and we can offer you package deals today on Anton/Bauer battery systems. With the new RED plates delivery undetermined, you could go with this system now and we'd fulfill the rest of your order once the plates came in.

We can also rent you this gear today, as we have already done for several RED clients.
