RED Quickplate alternative?

[Humberto Ramos]

Hi,

I use my RED ONE to do wildlife, and I need to reduce weight, so I'm considering selling my RED Cradle and my 640Gb RED Drive, to buy some REDMAG's, but I need a red quickplate...
I'm in a budget, so 500$ for the quickplate is expensive for me right now and because have to buy the REDMAG's,

Does anyone know a cheaper alternative to the red quickplate?

I don't use rods, so I need a quickplate similar to the red quickplate...

Here is the RED quickplate:

Thanks

Battery slide by a certain manufacturer works nicely.
Sorry to be cryptic but the forum unfortunately is set this way.

You'll want this bolt-on battery plate from WC:

Or perhaps this one (better but more expensive):

And then the actual v-mount plate:

Thanks Brian and jaime,

That solution seems to work great, but will be more expensive than RED Quickplate, I really need a less expensive solution...

An alternative would be the BATTERY BELT CLIP and that could put it on tripod...

WC Bolt-on battery plate is $89
WC Switronix V-mount plate is $299
TOTAL = $388

Cheaper than the RED Quickplate by $112.

Thanks Jaime,

I also put the value of the batterie slide...

Even so, I'm tempted to buy a BATTERY BELT CLIP, Anyone knows a non expensive alternative?
