Will an Epic-X topplate be available soon or does the Epic-M topplate already work with the X? I want the plate but need some clarity on this issue.

thanks!

The new version of the EPIC TopPlate will work for both EPIC-X and EPIC-M. However, the demand for all of our EPIC accessories (including the TopPlate) are extremely high, and they have been selling out quickly. The current shipping times range from three to four weeks. I would recommend to go ahead and place an order to ensure you receive your product as soon as possible. As of recently, the moment products come into stock they are immediately shipped out to customers.


We are very passionate about this industry and we take a lot of pride in providing the best quality products as we can. The same goes towards our customer service. We understand film professionals such as yourselves need these products quickly to do your job and we are doing our best to decrease the waiting time as much as we can.

We are sorry for the current inconvenience and this will only improve in time.

Hi Daniel, you are right there will be more. I've seen the future. I really like your special invention. Will buy that one too! :thumbup1:
It's nice that AP is listening to swiss filmmakers to make great products. It reminds of RED's approach of doing things.
The Actionproducts brothers are filmfreaks like us and the RED team so the products look like it.
Brian is the genius behind scene, Daryl is running the business like a mad man and Justin is turning heads in the US. You just have to love them. :yesnod:

I'm really looking forward to the new stuff. Great times man.

Yepp. Switzerland is a small country. We are good in small things like watches and stuff. Small and lightweight, why not for EPIC ;-)
 
Hi Justin!

Loving the new gear and looking forward to hearing more details ASAP. I hope I do not offend anyone at your company because I greatly respect what all of you have been doing for the past four years... But I was curious if you guys will offer a slight package price for someone like me who would buy the entire system?

Thank you again and can't wait to see this gear first hand, would love the opportunity to talk next week in between jobs if you have the time?

Cheers,

Andrew

Hi Paul

That's exactly what I thought when I first touched the Electra. There is nothing out there that comes even close. You won't be disappointed by it. I'm also waiting for it but it should be out very soon.
Hang in there it's gonna be great.

Cheers

It's a winner for sure, my camera already has the Top plate & Audio riser plate.
 
I just received the audio riser plate. It is VERY well made. There was no way I am going to be have cables hanging off my Epic (or using mini plugs for my audio!).

Hi,

I have the RedRock Mattebox, with both 15mm and 19mm capability: http://store.redrockmicro.com/Catalog/Red/microMatteBoxBundleforRedOnecamera

Which combination of your products would I need in order to fit this to my Epic-X ?

Will your 15mm adapter be strong enough, or do I need to go for 19mm?

Thanks,
Antony

p.s. Almost certain to get your Elektra :-)

Hello Antony,

I would recommend the following setup using 19mm...


That will work just fine.. if you want XLR Audio functionality with this set up, just add the EPIC XLR Audio Adapter. You can also buy this as a package, EPIC XLR Audio Adapter + Riser Plate..

I hope this helps answer your question. Please let me know if I can help you with anything else.

P.S. Thanks for your interest in the Electra! Stay tuned for an update ;)

Introducing the modular solution for the EPIC from ActionProducts. This modular system allows operators to add and remove modules using quick release technology to quickly alter functionality on the fly based on their needs. The current modules include the Basic Module “Proteus,” Power Module “Electra,” and Battery Module.


PRE-ORDER 11 - 7 - 11

​

Basic Module “Proteus”: Its main functionality is to provide the modular line up with quick release functionality. The Proteus will run power to the camera while allowing operators to power their REDMOTE through a 5V connector (optional cable to Mini USB and other connectors). There is also an easy access 3.5mm headphone jack on the top, followed by an additional LEMO connector on the bottom that provides 12V power or (optional) a remote adapter to trigger on/off of the camera ("Schmitt" interface). Quick release power solution
  • 5V(internal down conversion from 12V to 5V)
  • Charges REDMOTE
  • 12V power out (or option for remote camera on/off)
  • Mount Battery Module directly or though Power Module “Electra”
  • Cheese-plate in production

TopPlate Module "Apollo": Its the ultimate tool for efficiency. With numerous mounting options, it provides both power and video distribution. This allows for easy rigging for all camera accessories and considers all sizes of production with its video I/O. The EPIC TopPlate "Apollo" comes with 3 cables, making it ready to go right out of the box. This plate utilizes a power D-TAP cable, HDSDI BNC cable, and a 4 pin LEMO cable. This allows for the unit to work standalone, or along side our Basic Module “Proteus”.



If used with the “Proteus”, you would just distribute the 3 cords accordingly…
  • 3 pin Lemo plugged into the "Proteus"
  • HD-SDI BNC ran through the "Proteus" connecting into HDSDI port on the EPIC
  • 4 pin Lemo ran through the "Proteus" connecting in the SYNC port on the EPIC

Power Module “Electra”: Its main functionality is to provide a professional power distribution and functionality. The module offers several 12V accessory connections (2x D-Tap (one on the battery plate), 2x LEMO) and a down-converted 24V accessory connection (3pin Fischer RS). Further two external camera power connectors (both in/out power) - these are 1x 4pin XLR and 1x 6pin LEMO (REDone standard). The Electra has a built in puffer battery that can power the camera AND accessories for up to 4 minutes. Allowing hot swap functionality wile the camera (and accessories) keep running. The puffer battery can be manually triggered and automatically switches back to the new battery. It also recharges automatically when a new battery is mounted. The main power button provides "system off" function and switching to the puffer battery.
  • 12V Power for the Camera (though basic module Proteus)
  • 2x 12V D-Tap out Accessories (one D-Tap on the battery plate)
  • 2x12V out (2 or 4 pin Lemo) Accessories
  • 1x 24V (regulated Fisher 3 pin) out Accessories
    - 24V/3 amp, 12v - all together 3 amp
  • 1x in/out 12V camera power 4pin XLR
  • 1x in/out 12V camera power 6pin LEMO (REDone) connector with Bat information
  • Puffer Battery (can power Camera and Accessories up to 4 min.)
    - LED shows when Battery power is low and the operator needs to switch to the puffer-battery
    - LED shows when puffer Battery is on or when it is charging.
  • Can connect a battery mount directly to Electra (hardwired V-Mount or AB) - or add an Adapter module and then the Battery module (for quick swapping - V-Mount and AB mount available - other to come ...).

Battery Module: Its main functionality is to provide the modular line up with V-mount and Anton / Bauer battery mounting options (others to come ...). This makes operator’s setups flexible to mount to the “Electra or Proteus." They connect without cable directly through the module connectors. The Battery module (and actually also the electra) can be disconnected from the basic from the other modules and reconnected over cables of different lengths. This allows external mounting for counter-weight etc. There will be several mounting options available - 15mm and 19mm rod mounts (with swivel), swivel for the razor shoulder-mount etc.
  • Can mount to either the “Electra” or “Proteus”
  • Available with V-Mount or Anton / Bauer (others to come ...)
  • External mounting options

Big question - I love all the products you make - will these work with Scarlet? If so, which items? Your accessories seem like a must have (XLR, power, etc) to really make the Scarlet as easy to use as say the new Canon C300 (which the Scarlet kills specs wise)

Great News!! The EPIC and SCARLET have almost the same housing = everything we make for the EPIC will work with the SCARLET! Our EPIC Accessories Category is now renamed to EPIC + SCARLET Accessories as everything included in it will work for the SCARLET as well.
