Anton/Bauer QR-RED Gold Mount - Update

[paul dudeck]

Anton/Bauer is planning on shipping the QR-RED Gold Mount around the second week of March. This mount will have a 6p right angle LEMO connector on it.

If there are any problems in the meantime, you are able to use the QR-DSR Gold Mount and lock that onto the V-Mount.

Feel free to contact me with any questions.

So, we'll need a separate lemo cable to connect to the camera that doesn't come with the mount?

[Brian Broz]

I thought the above post said it will have a 6pin lemo rt angle connector.
No need for a cable.

[Greg M]

any word on data? will it display battery level in camera?

[paul dudeck]

No data communications until RED has the time to put it into the camera. Sorry....

When you buy the QR-RED, you will not need anything else as it will have the 6p right angle LEMO connector on it.

In the meantime, you would need to get the battery cage from RED that has the V-Mount battery adapter on it. This adapter already has the cable with the LEMO connector. Then, the QR-DSR would attach directly to that, so the QR-DSR does not need the cable and LEMO connector....

Paul there are a lot of us that would like to go to your batteries and gold mount right off the bat with our cameras. No chance of having the gold mount done earlier? End of this month would be perfect.

[paul dudeck]

If there was a way that I could make that happen, I would in a heartbeat. This is why we are offering the temporary solution in the meantime. Another two weeks (after the end of February) is not bad.....

Where will we be able to purchase the QR-RED?

[Rich Schaefer]

Good to hear Paul! I can't wait until RED incorporates your AB data. I hope they are. :) :)

Got any Pix?

[Matt Uhry]

It's not that hard to whip one up ! I made this to hold me over until AB was ready with theirs.

Don't worry, I'm going to triple check the polarity and wiring before I plug my camera in !

Hey Paul,
Let's make sure the key on the right-angle connector points the cable away and does not block any other ports etc.
A straight connector might be a nice option, but whatever... just glad to have it.
Cheers,
Harry

I am weeks away from delivery of my RED and I was wondering if any RED owners are considering forgoing RED batteries and going with Anton Bauer's?

Are the RED batteries are Lithium Ion or NiCad? Are there ATA restrictions that may affect me transporting RED batteries in a carry-on?

Aside from the obvious of Bauer's being the industry standard, is there compelling reason(s) to go with one make of battery over the other.

I understand the Bauer is not currently not supported on screen by RED, is that the only limitation?

So many questions, so little knowledge. Any and all insight would be appreciated.

Peace, out.

My feeling is, if you already invested in AB's then the QR-Red is the way to go. If you are starting fresh the Red batteries are designed to work with the
camera and priced well, and as you said, show up in the viewfinder.

[Glenn Dreher]

Thanks phaz. I'm not currently invested in AB's so I suppose the decision is easier to go with the RED batt's.

Do you happen to know if the RED's are Lith Ion or NiCad?

FYI
The new rules for air travel as posted by the DOT which impact camera batteries are as follows:


“Special Case”
Up to 2 Lithium-Ion Batteries, Spare or Installed
(between 8 and 25 grams aggregate equivalent lithium content)
Spare Batteries: Forbidden!
Installed in Devices: Permitted 1
Spare Batteries: Permitted 2
Installed in Devices: Permitted 1

What this means is you must hand carry your spare camera batteries if they are lithium Ion, up to a max of 2 spares and 1 installed on you camera. You cannot pack lithium Ion in checked baggage.

I hope this is of use to RED users.
