Problem Red Volt?

[Joe Mannion]

Hi

I have one red volt which refuses to sit in the side handle. All my others work perfectly. I can see no difference between the problem volt and the others. I wondered if anyone else had encountered this problem? Any help much appreciated.

Lots of people have this problem Started with one battery, and have moved to all of them.

I encounter the same problem with all my red volt when switching from one to another during shoots. There's a metal piece below the red clip inside the side handle. Try to bend it downwards slowly and insert the red volt. It works for me so far

Just starting getting this problem too. The red clip is having a tough time holding in the batteries.

This is a major pain with half of my batteries. Needs to be addressed.

The problem may lie in the side handle. All my batteries pop out; I now have two side handles. One is going back for a refurb.

Red returned my side handle to me yesterday and the redvolt issue has been totally eliminated, thankfully. It looks like they might have installed a whole new mechanism for holding and ejecting the redvolts. No more pushing and fiddling with it.

They also fixed the hot-swap issue, and that works flawlessly now, as well. All in all, I think it took 3 days to get it fixed and returned. Good stuff.
