REDVOLT + REDVOLT travel charger

[Häakon]

Will the REVOLT XL's fit into the side grip?

No. Here's a post with a couple of visuals to show the differences in the batteries:

Pity... imagine 90mins with a small onboard battery.
Still I'll be buying up alot of those small REDVOLTS none the less.
Ill just have to be a Power scab... when not actually shooting, turn it off!

 

[Mark Toia]

These configurations will be my weapons of choice... or a belt clip which we have been using sucseesfully.
V locks I can get anywhere in the world when I land and will give me upto 2 hours with the EPIC.
RED VOLT XL's will be a rare as hens teeth for a while.

Mark did you manage to get a wedge somehow? Didnt see them on the store yet.....

 

[Mark Andersen]

I was wondering if the new battery plate came with the Epic ready cable. Looks like it does.

Oh no no no... I'm not as fortunate as some.. but I have ordered the backpack and battery holder... but only one at this stage. Vincent Lafoiret had an interesting aftermarket model on his camera that Im curios about. I'll wait to I hear more about that one before I order to many more...

Yes it does.

another week or two on chargers opening up to normal purchase.

What is the status on the travel chargers going in the RED Store?

Is that the DSMC shoulder pad pictured?

Is that the DSMC shoulder pad pictured?

Yes. It's a slightly older version of it, but it's functionally the same. The DSMC shoulder pad is also a part of the clutch system.

 

[Mark Toia]

Such a kick arse set up..

 

[Mark Pedersen]

Mark,

Have you been using the DSMC shoulder pad with a 15mm lightweight rod setup + MB and hand grips of some sort? Curious how that works as a quick handheld solution.

How comfortable is that pad? As I recall from NAB, it seemed a bit rigid.

Also it seems like it would help to hang a battery off the back of the pad to get some the weight over the back of your shoulder. Wondering how the same back pad set up would work from the clutch with a battery plate.

Thoughts?

Sorry Mark, I don't have the pad.. or that setup.. These were shots that Jarred posted of the back pack system.

I don't shoulder mount anymore or use rods or matt boxes.. I'm keeping my cameras very simple, light and fast.. I just lift to my eye and shoot.
I've gone way past having big camera setups, have done that for most of my career.. It's time for me to be more creative with less restrictions.

Just did a huge job in Bombay completely hand held except for some locked off effects shots. I got 5 days of shooting into 3. Only because the camera is small, powerful and easy to use.

But if I was to shoulder mount.. those options Jarred sent through will be the way I go.

Looks like the viewfactor FMJ top plate.

I've decided to purchase about 12 RED volts per camera and never go big and bulky again. (unless I have a shot that will run for an hour)

With a 7 sec camera boot time... I think I can live with the down time

I'm right there with you. I'd love to just have REDvolts and REDvolt XLs, except I need to know if the Pro Battery Module will have a d-tap/p-tap connection. Without that there's no way to power accessories.

Don't forget the module adaptor has screw holes on top, too.

Travel charger is in the store but my Bomb squad rep told me it might not affect the one I have in backorder for my Epic-M, weird, isn't it?
I thought all Epic-M owners will have their batteries and chargers before it's in the store...
