Red Pro Battery module quad - Necessary tools ??

[anneso_M]

Ok so I had this question stuck in my mind since the last couple of days.

Owner of the Red One and Red Epic, I am using a lot of the Red One accessories, including the Red Brick batteries, with a quickplate mounted on the top 19mm rods.
This current set-up is actually pretty small and tidy, and I can't complain about the longevity of the Red brick batteries.

I do have a few redvolts on side, that I don't really need unless I am shooting a short pick-up in house.

At the moment, I am actually looking for the I/O pro module, so I can get rid of those cables, so hard to access.

So my question is : is the red pro battery module quad is worth getting for this camera set-up?

My opinion is no, but I would be curious to hear your thoughts about it.

Thank you!

It all depends on your preferences — if you're a V-mount guy and accustomed to using V-mount batteries then I think the Quad is not for you, it's for people who made a conscious decision to invest in Redvolts as a main power source option. For those using V-mount batteries on a regular basis Side Handle or Dual Battery Module will be more than enough.

You can buy my Quad module and adaptor. They are both brand new and still in the box from Red.

I went out of the way to buy the quad module for my Scarlet. I like it for tripod work and I just purchased two REDvolts XLs to work with it. I also set my shoulder rig up with an AB mount so I have that option as well. The ability to hot swap up to 4 REDvolts or two XLs, or some combination, seems like a good option to have. In a few months, I might have favorites but, for now, I have choices. :smiley:
