EPIC accessories from ActionProducts

[Brian D. Goff]

The Riser and Audio-Riser are now shipping. The "Top mount pro" and "Power distributor" are in the works. Both accessories expand the EPIC brain to a new level, by adding the missing links: Power sockets and better accessible BNC's - enjoy!

Bottom mount featuring:

-2 x 3.5mm jack plug to Pro XLR at rear
-acts as spacer to use industry standard base plates
-accepts upcoming 15mm light weight rod assembly
-Tape measure hook on left and right

15mm light weight rod assembly featuring:

-Works with Audio-Riser
-Protects 3.5mm Audio Plugs and hides them neatly
-15mm DSMC centered standard

Top mount Pro features:

-power sockets the EPIC lacks (requires power source like a V-mount battery).
-Provides BNC connectors for HD-SDI (the current EPIC BNC is located in a difficult to get spot and this is an very important BNC)
-SS/GPI; TC; GENLOCK BNC's (rather than the small 4pin connector the EPIC uses).

Power distributor features:

-rugged Battery mount for the EPIC (V- Mount, Anton Baur, ect.); can be mounted so battery looks down for more compact configuration
-use of different power sources over RED 5pin Lemo and industry standard 4pin XLR.
-also it brings the Audio plug to a user friendly location
-provides stabilized 12V and 24V power sockets.

That looks very interesting - especially for us europeans...

One (hopefully not too stupid) question: That whole Nato-thing is not very clear to me. What can I do with the Nato-rails on the top plate?

All the best

Hopefully NOT what NATO does : take a lot of money from you (taxpayer)and use it to kill a lot of people. I joke, I joke- sorry couldn't resist....

Hi Jochen

RED accessories are NATO-style clamps. So for example you can attach the new RED Sliding Top Handle (see in the RED store). Or the other neat RED toys with NATO clamp:)

Looking good Brian.

How are you getting the audio from the XLR to the 3.5mm? I don't see anything in the render that shows how this might happen, and am concerned about using cables terminating in a 3.5mm (I assume TRS?) plug to route the audio to the camera.

Perhaps a solid (multipurpose) mount on the front of the camera that attaches securely to the base plate?

[Brian D. Goff]

Hi Frank

The cable with 3.5mm plug run INSIDE the plate and come out the front just enough to plug in (not shown in the render). The 15mm light weight rod assembly I mentioned will cover-up the plugs, so it will then be perfectly protected and it will appear that the XLR are part of the camera:)

Excellent. The less cables to get in the way the better! It sounds well thought out.

The spacing of the threads on the front of the bottom plate will work with Red's 15mm lightweight rod mount?
