Pro I/O Size

[Peter Lyons Collister ASC]

I know this might change but I have having another Pelican case foamed out (cut foam) and I am wondering what is the physical size of the Quad battery module and also an approximation of the Pro I/O module size..

Thanks

Based on this picture of the IO module from NAB last year, the module adapter is 2 "ribs" long [about 7/8"] and the IO module is 8 "ribs" long. With a little extra added for the REDmote V-mount on the back of the body, that's an additional 4.5" of length from the back of the Epic body.

I assume that the look of the module has changed, but since I think that there were working models of the IO module at NAB, I suspect that the internals are probably roughly the same size. So I'm guessing that the changes would be mostly cosmetic.

If the design hasn't changed... make the hole in your case 4.5" long!

Thanks my Gatsby friend

Damn, look at that. Thanks Brook. Anybody have a picture of the other side?

 

[Brook Willard]

I should note that the quad battery module appears to be an additional 7/8" longer than this IO module mockup.

Ok... this has been asked and answered probably a thousand times elsewhere.... but what exactly is the knob/wheel like piece of kit on the top left rail in Brooks picture.... I know a select few have it out in the world..... what is it????

 

[Brook Willard]

It's a rosette handle which RED have not released yet.

Thanks.

Anybody know if each module requires a module adapter? Meaning if I have the I/O module and a dual battery module will I need to attach a module adapter to each module?

thx

 

[Brook Willard]

No, the module adapter is only from the camera to the first module. All modules thus far have the locking mechanism at the rear.

...This is assuming the Pro I/O module has not changed since shown at NAB last year. I'm hoping it can be condensed and will have shrunk a bit. By the time you get a Pro I/O (as shown in this thread) and a quad battery module on the camera, it's getting pretty long.

Yeah, it would start losing it's size factor. But with only the Pro I/O and a 90Wh on the back, EPIC would still be the smallest cinema camera out there.

 

[Patrick Lavaud]

any approximate weight?

 

[Roy Rossovich]

Why do you need the module adapter at all? Won't it lock right onto the camera? The mount looks the same on all images I have seen...

I think that they're trying to prevent the camera from any potential damage that can be done by heavy modules (damaged contacts, locking mechanism etc.). It is easier to replace a $300 module adapter if something brakes than to send the whole camera to RED.

P.S.: My crystal ball tells me that Pro I/O is going to shrink...

Pretty long. I think that's an understatement LOL

And don't forget you'll want to add the proxy module as well...
