NAB13- BackPack Quickplate ( short )

[Josef Gatti]

Kemalettin, I believe the V-mount in the picture you linked is a part of the Meizler, as in it's built into the module.

While this hasn't been confirmed, it looks like this short backpack quick-plate can only be attached using the DSMC backpack system, which costs $1200.

While it's form-factor and functionality is awesome, it's probably going to be close to $2k. A little out of my price range I think. Hopefully I'm wrong

i dont want cable solution..Arri alexa has solution WITHOUT cable for both V-Mount and Gold Mount
if Red could create 6K camera sure they can make same power option like on Alexa too?

 

[Steve Marshall]

I would love - hell I need a solution with no power cable. It doesn't make sense when the tech is clearly there to make it happen.

 

[Paul Ellington]

Jarred, Brent & Matt -- this thing is so damn sexy.

 

[Patrick Grossien]

Backpack system....

Brent, can you explain why there is no V-Mount module that connects to the brain like the Quad and Dual module, eliminating the cable (onto the module adaptor or the +1)

Or is this already in planning?

Josef, RED is currently working on expanding the Quickplate System. There is this one for example

(picture from Phil's NAB Journal thread)

I would assume this would be a lot cheaper, and maybe RED will also start selling the DSMC Backpack without the cheese plate if there's new stuff coming up. That will probably make a lot of difference, too.

 

[Patrick Grossien]

Also, if this is not already the plan, this piece should get a detachable cable like the XL REDVOLT QuickPlate as I talked about in this thread Thoughts-on-power-gear-and-cables

And if then there would be a Quickplate Belt Clip this would be offering even more options! ...Matt?

 

[David Bourla]

The cable ruins the sexy design. Clearly power can be run through the mount - so why give us something to tangle and wear out our body connector with pulling and tugging in and out??.

 

[Peter Majtan]

What you guys asking for is a different product (and one that I would be surprised if RED did not have in the owen already).
This particular plate is designed for the Backpack / Quickplate system allowing to super quickly add a V-power without the need for tools.
People who use / like the Backpack system frequently change their camera's config - even several times during a single day of shooting.
This product is for them...

Having said that - I am +1 on a more permanent plate that could screw directly to the brain without the need for a module adaptor and / or a more flexible one that attached to a module adapter. Of course not requiring cable as it would pass the power through the back-pins directly...

Speaking of the cable - I hope this one will have the cable long enough to allow it to be mounted at the back of the GUNNER shoulder pad... :reddevil:

[Phil Holland]

Oh nice! Quicker than expected on that one!

 

[Patrick Grossien]

Hehe. Phil is first to notice.... Who else? did you already order?

 

[Peter Stelzhammer]

nice stuff!

what's the max. load on the AUX ports?
(in Ampere for a single one and for both in total)

thanks in advance

 

[Patrick Grossien]

This thing makes me want to have v locks again

 

[Josef Gatti]

Yes! I've been on the market for a 3rd party solution since Nov last year. So happy I waited out, this is bawss.

 

[James Falco]

Good news.

 

[Jarred Land]

nice stuff!

thanks in advance

4amps total.. so 2amps each port or 1 port at 4 amps.

 

[Josef Gatti]

In case nobody noticed.. improved manufacturing efficiencies in our machine shop have allowed us to reduce the cost of the backpack system significantly....

Oh I definitely noticed! And glad I was wrong. I played with one at RSH two weeks ago and fell in love. Ordered both the new plate and short backpack an hour ago. I've had an awesome day. Thanks Jarred & RED

 

[Tehben Dean]

Still plans for a v-mount module with power-through instead of the cable?
