Other than purchasing the cables for the EVF/LCD, will RED come with all the necessary cables to connect the hard drives, ram, batteries, etc, or will we have to purchase these items ourselves? Can anyone suggest a good resource for such purchases?
Also, from the pictures recently posted, it appears that the production packs will come with a mount. Just wanting to clarify that these will connect with ease to most tripod heads (O'Connor notably, as it appears in the photos).
Thanks!

Mount has been described and shown works with all std heads. Cables are included. It's been described.

The cables for the EVF/LCD are also included, but if you want the 3ft and 10ft extra cables you pay more.

Each accessory will come with the necessary cable(s) to make it work. If you need more cable [replacement or longer length], RED will sell them. As of today, the EVF, LCD, power and DRIVE cables are all proprietary.

Yeah, it'll mount to pretty much anything you want - it's all standard. Any standard base plate, a steadicam, whatever.

At what voltage does RED operate? I think I will mostly use a beltpack or switching power supply of sorts when AC is available. So I'll just want a converter cable to standard 4-pin XLR power.

12v, AFAIK.
