VF | Brook's APU Battery Plates [IDX & AB, REDmote charging cable!]

[Pawel Achtel]

Great, thanks Tim. I think I may just go ahead and order one.

 

[Trevor Meeks]

So ah... how we doin' on that Anton Bauer option, Brook? Any word on shipping dates? Will they be available by the end of the month by any chance?

i just got my VF/Brook APU V mount . Very happy with it .

2 of these IDX batteries should keep me running for a whole day. (using the IDX to power the zacuto EVF also)

I'm going to be configuring my scarlet the same way. Can you tell me how much your setup weighs? What size idx battery are you using? I'm thinking of getting 4 of the 93wh IDX Batteries.

Just dropped my order in for my incoming Scarlet! Can't wait. Thanks VF!

The plate works great. Is there is a D-TAP to USB mini so I can charge my REDMOTE from the camera?

Seems like a very bad idea, being as USB is regulated and D-tap is unregulated!

Brook's,


Or anyone can answer. I just noticed the IDX in the title. Is it strictly for IDX batteries? Or will it also work with RED Bricks and any other V-Mount battery? Might seem like a bad question but I'm new to using this kind of equipment and just wanted to verify.

Thanks! Jeffrey

Justin,

Thanks, I must've read right over it. Just verifying. Thanks for answering any ways.

Charles, is the battery not letting you put the top handle so that it can point to the back?

 

[Enrique Blein]

Brook, is it possible to deposit a check into your account in order to buy the APU adapter? I don't have access to a US or international credit card. I actually had to but the Scarlet making check deposits in the US!

Correct Enrique , the handle is just a fraction too long against the batteries. It's a squeeze fit, not very healthy . maybe I will file the swat rails abit.

here's my list of stuff on the camera



RED EPIC
zacuto EVF
zacuto LP-E6 to D-Tap Power Cable
RED arm (5")
RED outrigger handle
sliding top handle
swat rail

There is a wire transfer option on the store at checkout.

Anyone know if the AB version will be ready for orders this week?


Thanks!

Thanks!

sure hoping so, otherwise my scarlet will be pretty useless other than with the power adapter

Charles - how much runtime are you getting off that IDX battery?
I'm curious as I'm weighing the options of Vmount vs Redvolts.
Thanks so much for any info.

Hey guys, sorry for the lack of updates! I'm up in the mountains in Australia with sporadic internet access. I'll post pictures soon!

 

[Kamilla Lusa]

Hi, can I leave red brick on a APU battery plate when storing the camera? Or is it not recommended?

Also, should I disconnect cable from the camera when not using?

1) We love the APU plate.

2) If GG ever shoots in Victoria / Melbourne, give us a hoy. Would love to chat.
