  1. #1 What is good V-mount plate and battery for Epic? Battery belt? Quickplate? 
    Redvolt is only about 30 minutes. The batteries I think Globalmediapro is good for the price 160W for 300$.
    Advice please what V-mount and battery is good for Epic? I see when we are talking about V mount plate it is additionally needs to buy something else, quick plate, cable, or something else.

    For example from x QB Switronix V-Mount is 320 but needs additionally QB Battery Back (SWIT/IDX) for 79 and Quick Back for 199 so 600 in sum.

    So in this case may be good to buy Viewfactor V-mount plate for 699

    Is it connect directly to EPIC or need some additional quick plate?

    or RED V-mount BACKPACK QUICKPLATE for 650

    Is it connect directly to EPIC or need some additional quick plate? Or is it really need RED Quick plate for 1200?

    or RED BATTERY BELT CLIP (DSMC) for 320
    http://www.red.com/store/products/ba...belt-clip-dsmc
    Is it connect directly to EPIC or need some additional quick plate?

    Is any from above well work with any V-mount battery or maybe some well work with GMP some with RED BRICK?


    Thank you

    -SAME battery as Global Media (I mean, literally, identical)
    -FREE charger
    -FREE shipping
    -NO payment/shipping issues - PayPal / Ebay covers loss, makes it easy
    -cheaper $$
    -great customer support

    Have not seen a better valued V-brick for sale.
    Will only read Voltage in viewfinder (as with many) - this may be a PLATE issue as well?

    And How do you fix this plate to Epic? Is it need some additional quick plate?

    And what about charger to these batteries?

    Nice find Adam! Yeah, Alexey, now how to CHARGE those. $50 saved per battery gets eaten up pretty quickly if you to source a charger...

    best experiences we made with BEBOB batteries - http://www.bebob.de/Batteries-and-chargers/A140RM.html
    you can use the ML120 from BEBOB as well. We have around 200 of these batteries in rental and never got a problem yet. most important they do not loose much capacity over the years. the first we bought 3 years ago - and they still keep on rocking.

    We have the AB version, same price. Mounts directly into the back of the epic, no additional plates needed.

    If you have any questions for Viewfactor Curt will answer all your questions and quickly. It's why I chooser VF this time instead of Wooden.
