EPIC QUAD BATTERY MODULE

[Jeremy Torrie]

Yeah -once we get the quad module, which is not yet available. But for the Side Module you have to do this. Good thing the boot time is only 10 seconds, not like the MX!

 

[Maz Mawlawi]

Hey Tim,
Can you also put some kind of top mount/cheese plate on top of the quad module?

 

[Mark Pedersen]

Hey Tim,

Expect that to be part of RED's "tactical" system. My guess anyway.

But yeah. That would be cool.

That's what this whole discussion is about.

Hey Tim,

You can use something like this:

to add lots of mounting points on top. I'm sure there will be other 3rd party solutions, too.

"arggggggoshhh . *^%()^&*^R^(^)

)) they dont need to be changed every twenty mins! you just do a batt swap after an hour or so when you are down to the last batt."

Ahhh, yes I see. But I still think the XL batteries are the way to go. Fewer batteries

 

[Yaque Silva-Doyle]

yea, I do agree XL are definitely the way to go. They might also give you a little more record time.

Yes you can it had threaded options to mount a handle etc.

 

[Tim Whitcomb]

I'm telling you right now. you dont have an EPIC until you have this module. please ship them ASAP!

 

[Jarred Land]

Yes.. Dual coming.

Got back late this afternoon to this wonderful surprise courtesy of Jarred and RED ... FIRST... let me say... this is one of the COOLEST module locking systems... (illl take detailed pics when i have a better camera)
but at first Im like... whoa, thats fits loose... but underneath, there is a latch. quarter turn with an ALLEN and it secures the Module... ROCK SOLID! (after you bolt on the Module Adapter of course, which is the spacer you see
between the EPIC and the QUAD MODULE)

The days of powering down to change batteries is ALL BUT OVER FOLKS!

Been pulling out random VOLTs... as long as 1 stays in... Keeps on going and going... I have been leaving it on now for 1:45 minutes recording boring camera charts in my prep room
and haven't powered down once! (MAN I NEED A QUAD CHARGER THOUGH TO KEEP UP!)

Appears to power SEQUENTIALLY... which is great.. only ONE RED VOLT powers at a time... so its easy to keep track as you go (because its a prototype... in camera batt level momitoring is not enabled yet)

Here few CRAPPY iphone photos... will take much better ones tomorrow and in the field... meantime - jarred wanted me to TEASE you guys...

1. OLD SCHOOL vs NEW SCHOOL

QUAD VOLT SEXINESS!

2 VOLTS REMOVED... STILL GOING STRONG!

Is this the "Pro Battery Module"? If not, what's the difference?

 

[Häakon]

Is this the "Pro Battery Module"? If not, what's the difference?

Yes, that's the pro battery module. Well, actually it's the Quad version of the Pro Battery Module. There is also a dual version in the works that holds two batteries instead of four.

Thanks. Which one comes with a Stage-2 Epic-X? The two battery one? Or the four battery one...

 

[Stacey Spears]

The quad battery module comes with stage 2.

 

[Erich Ocean]

The quad battery module comes with stage 2.

Great, thanks! I've been dreaming about that thing since Jarred posted that pic a while back, so happy to hear it'll arrive eventually…

 

[Jake Bastian]

The quad battery module comes with stage 2.

This is also what comes with Stage 3 correct?

 

[Eric Haase]

any chance of getting the dual battery module with stage 2 instead of the quad? Quad seems to add a lot of bulk for the run time. I might rather use Aton Bauer or Red Batts with that size and weight tradeoff.

 

[Mike Halper]

Is the dual battery module supposed to begin delivery at the same time as the quad? I think I prefer the dual in order to keep the entire rig a little smaller.

 

[Paul Russell]

I'm going to wait for the dual. With a side handle that will give me an hour or more of shoot time.

 

[Zeb B]

Me want a RedVolt 4 place charger for Christmas

 

[Häakon]

This is also what comes with Stage 3 correct?

Yes.
