Powering Epic-W with Ronin (original)

[Lucas Wilkinson]

Is is posible to power the Epic-W through the breakout box on the original Ronin? Or is there any other way to get enough power from the Ronin battery to the body? I have heard that D-tap isn't enough to make it work.

My old gimbal solution was DSMC1 with side handle and Redvolts, which despite all their haters was a great solution for me. I just really don't want to have to chuck a v-lock on my gimbal, it's heavy enough. Although, I will definitely be buying some Redvolt-Vs when they come out.

Well, I used the internet and figured it out. For anyone that's interested.

I'm anxious to try this solution. I'm weary of anything that takes power away from the gimbals. But, that Epic-W is so damn light on that Ronin, hopefully won't be an issue.

Have either of you guys considered using a belt clip to carry your battery? Or in an instance of someone operating the Ronin with the Ready Rig, securing your battery to one of the cheese holes located on the back of the Ready Rig.

Been using that combination with te RAVEN since June. Perfect combination, DJI batteries are light and charges super fast!

Sean I use the Ronin MX, Scarlet Dragon (soon to be Epic-W) and Ready Rig on a lot of shoots. I usually will use the Ronin MX battery to power the RED however in the past I've used the back of the Ready Rig to mount a vmount module and battery and works great!
