    I would love to see a 30 second countdown like we had with the RED One when the battery is about to die.

    Granted, we should be keeping an eye on it and making sure it doesn't get that low... But just in case we're not paying full attention or something else is going on - the old style countdown was a great indicator and I'd love to see it in future firmware builds.

    Hi Mitch,

    I think this is a great idea, enough time to cut the camera and jump in there and shut it down yourself. Good one!

    Would be a handy feature if the RED boys have time to throw it in there...

    +1 This would be especially useful with Volts and their shorter life.

    +1 It seems like my batteries are always dieing abruptly. Some sort of danger notification would be amazing.
