Power consumption Scarlet-W dragon

[Dolph van Stapele]

Hi all,

Cant find the info power consumption for the new scarlet. In terms of what batteries Im going to use.

Thanks

I have seen numerous posts on this subject, there is no reason to think the same batteries we have been using for the Epic won't work.

these are great. I suspect there will be MANY new things at NAB this year.. Like every other new accessory I want, I will wait for NAB before i make any decisions.

IIRC, the power consumption for Weapon is a bit (about 20%?) less than Epic/Scarlet which puts it at about 50 watts .

but does that mean we need NEW batteries?

No, just means your current batteries will last longer.

thanks everyone, exactly what i needed to know. 20% less than epic.

Hmmm I was under the impression that it draws 20% more power than the EPIC Dragon.

I see Pag v-mount. 90wh thats only 0.5 kilo instead of red XL-pack with 0.7 kilo. So lightest battery in industry.

As far as I know, there has been no official response from Red yet, however Phil Holland has posted twice saying that he feels his Weapon draws around 60w.
