Weapon Side Handle Teaser on Facebook

[Stuart Graham]

Exactly what I was thinking. We don't need a redvolt sized battery in the grip, just a small battery or a capacitor that allows to keep the camera on for a couple of minutes, just long enough to change the main battery without shutting down the camera. I use that feature all the time on my Epic, love it.

Exactly! 60 seconds should be long enough to get a fresh battery if your AC or just us if we're on our own hasn't hidden them too far away

The cable would need to reach the DC socket & have a female tail to house the intelligent power shaping chip & also for your V Lock / AB Gold mount / 12v XLR main power source cable etc...should be possible & not too ugly n spaghetti looking?

That would be lovely!

And in stock right from the get go

Hah! They make a thousand and get two thousand orders... or they make a thousand and get 500 orders and are stuck with inventory that slowly bleeds down. Price of item must escalate to account for this, but you can't raise the price or sales drop to near zero.

A just-in-time manufacturing system can help keep costs down for RED and customers alike.

Yeah, I really miss my hot swap handle...

found a really good picture (from the OffHollywood Twitter page) of the new side handle and how it attaches to the camera and some of the controls. I think I prefer the black sidehandle.

I ordered this side plate and this wooden handle from wooden camera. Will be nice to have the other mounting points and rotating handle.

Hypes me up even more to see this!

looks like a handgun handle, esp. by the way it's textured. Cool as hell, but makes airport check ins adventurous. I'm glad I got the stealth model.
