DSMC Quickplate Module!

[Harry Lipnick]

One thing we just finished prototypes of this week is the new V2 battery plate that goes onto all these bits... It is way less Janky than the first one... and its shorter as well... so when you put it on a backpack on an Epic or on the back of a module, it is the same height as everything ( battery will still stick up of course ) . Huge improvement. O... and the new V-Lock rear module also has 2 x 2 pin Lemo AUX power outputs instead of that dreaded D tap.

Crap.. so much for keeping this stuff secret.

Jarred...are the power outputs for this new module on the battery plate or integrated into the module itself? Basically, when we swap out bricks, do all of the accessories powered off the Lemo you mentioned lose power during the swap, or does power flow back from Side Handle/Battery Module to power everything including external accessories during a swap?
Thanks,

-Harry

I have a lot of gear using D-tap, is there a conversion cable that can be used?

Very good question! It would be awesome if they got power back from the brain.

Very good question also! Me too I have a lot of D-tap gear that needs to be connected.
Would it be possible to have BOTH D-tap and Lemo outputs on the plate? One less adapter cable to take care of...

Oh yeah pleeease... power from the body to the lemo / dtap from REDVolts...of course not only during swap....

--> Because this is actually the Number one Rease why REDVOLTS cannot really be used on most cinestyle sets.... the Accesories all need Power and that comes from nowhere if you power redbrick.....

Can someone explain what is the difference of this and say VF plate? I'm not understand this idea. Do you use it with Dual or Quad battery modules?

Sorry, im a bit stupid this moring.

THis will attach onto the back of the epic via the module adapter and won't require a cable to power.

 

[Josef Gatti]

Totally missed this. I'm currently trying to find a v-mount plate that sits flush with the top of epic/scarlet, a RED solution could be great. Any timeline predictions? Or best to keep looking for an alternative?

I'm looking for a V-mount under 5" in height. If anyone has the answer, I will be eternally <3

 

[Tom Meimer]

Any updates when this will be available?

 

[Harry Stanton]

You guys want to spend a grand for that feature? Must be more features to the module, correct?

Instead ? I hope you mean "in addition to"... D-Tap works for me, I don't want to have to buy all my cables again... Choice is good

 

[Oje Unuigboje]

Will this module still be out before the end of the year ? I am waiting on this to order my V-mount battery plates.

Love to know the status of this as well.

Jarred, something new about this?
Also I believe there will be direct power connection to camera like from Pro battery module and not with cable into power input. Hm?

 

[Rob Castiglione]

Really looking forward to this module.

 

[Eric Santiago]

Don't worry.. Jim and I both still use V Lock RED BRICKs all the time.. we aren't getting rid of them anytime soon... there is a ton of new V-Lock stuff coming down the pipe..

I just picked up the DSMC TACTICAL (no cheese plate), will there be more options?

Jeez I just read this now.

Okay credit card waiting here

wait not the DSMC BACKPACK TACTICAL plate?

 

[Alex Rawet]

wait not the DSMC BACKPACK TACTICAL plate?

Sorry Eric, it doesn't use the Backpack tactical plat
It attaches like any of the other DSMC modules so it can provide power directly through the contacts, rather than via a cable into the DC in port which has been the V-Mount/AB way up until now

oh crap this unit is hard to buy for

 

[Eric Santiago]

Not sure if it was mentioned but with this new power option, will we be able to switch from SH to BRICK (and back)?
