Hey guys,

I know there are a few threads about what v-lock batteries fit the base I/O v-lock module, threads about slim v-lock battery options, etc.
I read through all of those I could find but did not find an anser to my question.

Does anyone know the Scarlet-W's Power consumption in standby mode as well as recording?
I know it depends on the setup that's why I'm asking for the very basics:
Brain + 5" oder 7" Monitor.

Has any of the new Scarlet-W owners made a test already? I would do it myslef but I'm a bit of a situation:
I'm looking for a small/slim version that powers the camera for about 1 1/2 hrs (normal use --> standby and recording)
I would wait to get my camera and test different batteries myself but I'm getting a loaner kit from RED while waiting
and therefore need to buy them asap, since I'm leaving for Japan on 22nd May.

If any of the new owners could do a test for standby ad recording and post the results that would be awesome.
I assume I'm not the only one interested in this?
1. What batterie did you use
2. How long was the standby time
3. How long was recording time

With that information I could calculate how much a say 75Wh slim battery would power a basic setup.

Thanks in advance guys.
