EPIC accessories from ActionProducts

[Jean Wallez]

If that plate attaches directly to the RED one body as it seems to do, then yes our riser plate should work just fine.

This Sim base plate uses the first 3/8 and the third 1/4 holes from the lens side on the Red one.Won't the EPIC be too far behind?
Nice new stuff!

[Brian D. Goff]

+1 Agreed. This is amazing. Also curious to know price and availability ....

I need about a week to be able to say more to pricing and availability - so stay tuned:)

[Jason Wingrove]

Thanks Brian. look forward to hearing more.

I just wanted to chime in to say that having an arsenal of ActionProducts goods...we are super happy with them. And recently stepping up to the ActionCam RebelPro has been a great addition to our kit. Brian has been extra helpful and always available when we have questions about best practices and configurations etc. Thanks Brian.

I look forward to more great stuff from AP! These designs look excellent.

Best,
Steffen

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.

Okay, having had a little time reviewing this on my MBP instead of my iPhone... ;), two things are to be immediately considered, when using the camera in a standard 2D configuration you will need to clear the bottom at Dovetail high,
so not o be obstructed when sliding the camera forward, when operating in 3D, if using ET's Atom, were the cameras are mounted via a special Top plate then the Battery needs to be no higher then the top plate or it will obstruct its movement on the top mounted dovetail, so need to choose carefully which one does you best, or if like us that we shoot both 2D and 3D then you ned both ways, at list till RED releases their Battery Modules with Hotswap capability, which would be also a great add on if this could have such capacity, but it is understood this will add size and weight,

Brian, are you testing this on an Actual Epic M? If not It will be a pleasure to test them on one of ours here in Rome, and then returned to you, or most then likely keep them as we would be surely buying them both types, as it is a much better solution then out current ones were a battery plate is attached via Rods and or Clip with dangling cables.

Hi Ketch

Thanks for the input - I'm fine tuning, so I'll try to pay atention to these things. I'm testing on Octamas's EPIC M in Zürich, but I'm sure we'll get you some equipment to test-drive:)

Cheers
Brian

Hi Jean
Probably the EPIC will be further back - but don't think that is a problem, just might not look to cool:) - maybe drill some holes into the SIM plate?

[Jean Wallez]

Yes,drilling a new hole seems to be the solution.
Thank's Brian.
For European customers,are there import taxes now?
