Best Epic W Backplate for Ronin MX gimbal use

[Oliver collins]

Hi All

Anyone know what's the best back to put on the Epic W Helium when mounting it on the Ronin MX gimbal?

Jetpack, Base IO, V-lok IO

I'd rather not buy 2.

I need to also run the camera off V-loks when not on the gimbal so i'm thinking base IO with the v-lok adapter so could remove V-lok adapter leaving base IO for gimbal and the put adapter back on for handheld and tripod. Just not sure if the base IO will snag on back of the Ronin MX when power and SDI are connected.

I power my Epic MX from the gimbal hoping to do same with the Epic W.

Any help most appreciated.

Cheers

Olli

JetPack all the way. Thats what I use on my setup.

I have the MoVi Pro and use the Jetpack SDI. I also have a Base I/O expander and OMOD Command RT, but for gimbal use, Jetpack is the way to go. I run off the MoVi power, which gives me a lot of running time.

Do you have a second back plate for when not on the gimbal? Didn't want to have to drop another £1500 on V-lok expander too

Yes I have a dsmc2 V-Lock I/O Expander when I'm not on the gimbal.
