RED ONE MX auto turn off ?

[Konrad Bak]

Hi guys,
I'm using red one mx with bebop hot swap adapter. There is a small problem I've encountered 3-4 times during last 10 months I own the camera. It goes off by itself. Very rarely. Can it be caused by the bebop hot swap adapter ? (assuming good battery level).

thank You

Not sure if it's something in the last firmware or if I am having a battery plate issue but I too have noticed camera powering itself off. The last time this happened to me was early on one of the battery plates had some bad contacts. Replaced them with switronix mod and no more problems.

I remember using sucide p-taps to hot swap batteries and if you don't wait till the battery registers on camera with the other battery before you swap it will turn off. Also when it does the shut off count down, hot swapping won't work.

I'll test it on the power supply. Maybe I should update the firmware to a newest one ? (I have a 2011 version as far as I know). How to make the upgrade? I didn't have the login required on www.red.com/downloads/4f56854d6261f95a5700063d , and I have Win7 PC ;(

I've updated the software to newest one, everythings seems to work fine. Mine was from May,2011.
Thank You
