4 Pin To Red...

[Dylan Macleod, CSC]

Wow the search function on this site sucks!

I know this has been discussed, so my apologies for not being able to find it...

Anyone know where I can get a 4 PIN to RED plug for battery power?

Just wanting it as a "back up"!

Thanks.

Pana-Tech can make you one. Also, Anton Bauer now offers such a cable to get power from their Cine-line block batteries to the Red.

How about a 4-pin Lemo cable to 11-pin Fischer so I can power my Microforce?

That's a good one too!

Pana-tech hooked me up!

OK Dylan [CML buddy!], who/what is Pana-Tech and how do I send them money? :-)

There's someone on Reduser by that name, he ships various custom cables...

Apparently the amperage draw from an analog Microforce and Heden motor are too much for the 4-pin Lemo on the rear of the camera (according to the boys at CSC in New York) I think they tried making up a cable for one of the offhollywood cameras and discovered this... Mark any comment?
You might be better off drawing power from the P-Tap connector on the battery. I was also trying to find out if the RS connector on the side of the camera below the EVF ad LCD connectors had a higher amperage rating...
Panatech made me a bunch of VERY nice cables including the traditional 4-pin XLR power cables.
Cheers,
Harry

Yes that is correct. We use a PTAP to 4-pin -

I am still BEGGING and PLEADING for SOMEBODY to make the proper power BOB for pro accessories.

See Mitch's post above !!

I was wondering if pins 2 and 3 are used any longer on 4 pin XLR power wires, I read that in the "old days" they were used for pilot tone sometimes,

Pin 1 = Ground
Pin 2 = ?
Pin 3 = ?
Pin 4 = +12v ~5A
