EPIC remote trigger | The Chocolate Bar Pre-order

[Andy Jarosz]

MadlyFins introduces The Chocolate Bar, a remote trigger for the EPIC. It's a simple device that gives you a cabled start/stop button to add to your kit over simple BNC or a fixed cable.

Features include an aluminum casing, illuminated start/stop button, and sexy stylings. We're currently taking pre-orders, which are $10 off!
Get it here at the discounted price!

Can you tell us more about this:
We can replace the BNC port with a fixed length cable that plugs directly into the camera for an additional $80.

is this a Lemo?
how long can it be?

 

[Andy Jarosz]

It is a LEMO that plugs directly into the SYNC port on the EPIC.

It's about 3 feet long. I can do longer for a slight additional cost on a per-case basis.

 

[Greg M]

what are the dimensions of the box?

 

[Andy Jarosz]

The dimensions are 2"x3"x.9".

 

[Andrew clemson]

looks great for those times when the REDmote refuses to connect! has it been approved by RED?

 

[Casey Green]

I like the name... a tribute to what RED has been referring to their SSD Mags.

 

[Mark Toia]

emailed you..

 

[Andrew clemson]

Tried ordering, but didnt seem to have any shipping options, so couldnt process. Are you able to ship internationally?

 

[Jason Wingrove]

Can i suggest another option KEEP the BNC plug, and add a short BNC to lemo sync pigtail, then you just add off the shelf BNC's in the middle to extend it?

Love this remote regardless but not overly keen on the bulky fussy sync cable with stray BNC's dangling everywhere?
a fixed cable thats more like 25' long would be more practical? tho hard to please

Full props for building this either way mate!

Hi Jason,
For me its just a short term fix for me.... Once the REDMOTE Fiiiiiiiiiiiinally works at a useable distance... Then this box gets retired the same day.
Regarding your BNC idea.. yes. totally agree... Keep the lemo to BNC short , then connect to off the rack BNC Coax. Done!

Andy.. I've emailed you. I need your little box, yesterday... Come on mate, pump em out. ))))))

 

[Mitch Gross]

Glad somebody made it. I was having a devil of a time getting anyone to produce the thing.

 

[Mark Toia]

So simple, yet so annoying... It's like a 50$ box of nothing... But we need it!

 

[Andy Jarosz]

Thanks guys!

A BNC to LEMO cable is definitely something we're looking into. Right now a lot of people use the breakout cable regardless for timecode, so it just works itself in that way.

Andrew, I'll shoot you an email!

Jason, same. I can make you a custom length fixed cable, just for the additional cost.

International shipping should now be worked out.

 

[Jeff Brown]

Andy how easy it the battery change? Already had a couple made that work but the battery change is a pain.....

If it's easy I'll take a few.

Cheers

 

[Andy Jarosz]

Two screws and the battery holder slides out.

 

[Andrew clemson]

Thanks Andy, sent you a reply.

 

[Andy Jarosz]

[Andy Jarosz]

Yes, this will work with the Sync Bob, you just have to use the bottom port of it. It will work with 100'.
