Hot-Swap module for Quickplate V-Lock-Battery module

[Mark L. Pederson]

I think would be really awesome if RED made a "hot-swap" module that connects directly to the camera, and would allow the Quickplate V-Lock Battery module to attach directly to that - no cables. That would be pretty awesome IMO.

Basically - the Bebob ML-120 in a DSMC module form factor.

Yes but something that holds a charge so that batteries can be changed without powering down.

What I suggesting is a module you would use in ADDITION to the Quickplate module as I described. That features a rechargable cell like the Bebob ML-120

"The ML-120 is a Hot Swap adapter for the RED EPIC Camera. It allows to swap the battery without interruption of the camera powering. When the battery runs empty, the ML-120 will take over the powering of the camera for 2 minutes, providing simultaneously a visible alarm.

Additionally, the ML-120 features a 12 V DC D-Tap port, secured by a 5 A self-resetting fuse.
After use the ML-120 self-charges from the camera battery."

REDvolt does the trick
kinda sweet in the camera allowing us to hot swap.
I use that Switronix for steady cam, helps with balance too and hot swap.
