I have a RED Epic camera with a V mount.... not sure which one to use. Any idea please ? I got a V-mount IDX in 2019. are new batteries compatible with this V-Mount please ?
I am attempting to build a v-mount battery charging box on the cheap, with the v-mount d-tap cables from each supplier plugged into a 10 plug surge protector so that they can all charge at the same time, each battery supplies 14.8V with a capacity of 95wh. Each battery pulls 10 amps according to the manufracturers site. Would this work? As I don't want to blow the regular household 110 outlet or burn a fuse. Please let me know.
Hello marcos. I have a very important question to which I am trying to obtain an answer to. I keep hearing from time to time that powering the GH5 via D-Tap will fry the camera. What's your say on the matter?
I’m new to v-mount. I just bought one but I’ve heard that powering the camera and the monitor with the same battery can burn out your HDMI port. Is there any way to prevent this? Right now I’m powering the cameras and monitors with separate batteries.
The purpose for me of using V-Mounts is so that I don't have to use separate batteries. I want to power everything with 1 battery. The SDI/HDMI ports can burn out - it has happened to me. I don't know if this is because of powering everything with 1 battery. I think it is a matter of disconnecting the cables before turning on or off the camera as a precaution. Then again, sometimes I am in such a hurry on set that I forget to do it.
Cinematic low key lighting doesn't work very well when demonstrating product. Your black shirt and dark background makes the black product hard to see. Please use high key lighting and light background so we can see your rig.
Do you ever run into issues running voltage too high into smaller things? Is it okay to run a 12V DTAP into a smaller monitor? Or if I'm wanting to power a gimbal that has a max 5.4V output, is it okay to run a 12V current into it? Or is it better to run lower voltages into smaller gear? Would love direction on this. Can't find answers elsewhere.
You never run a higher voltage in a device, where it's not supported. It will result in the magic smoke coming out. Period. Each device has it's power requirements somewhere written down. It's usually called "input voltage" or just "input", and it's printed on the device or a sticker (one that's hard to peel off). The size of the device though, doesn't have any correlation with the voltage it takes. You only know that by looking at the information that's written down on the device (or searching online). Never ever assume, that a device takes certain voltage, you always need to see the information before.
Yeah I still use them and they are one of my favorite because it tells me the approximate time I have left on the battery. Although, I would suggest you don't fully trust any V-Mount batterie's time left indication because it's an estimate.
@@MarcosRochaTV got you! thanks! do you use the balance port for charging? i find this a really interesting feature, but can't find xt-60 to d tap charging cables to charge them with my balance charger i use for fpv drone batteries
Just say how long the thing lasts and how long it takes to charge. Who gives a shit why your monitor is where it is. People are here looking for info on batteries. God. Hire an editor.
@@830Video both v-mount and gold mount are industry standard. V-mount comes standard on many cinema cameras and accessories. Gold mount does have a more secure connection though, but you pay for it, v-mounts are generally a lot cheaper.
@@chadwin from what I've seen they're all the same price. Hollywood and companies doing big budget stuff only use gold mount, I'm a nobody but I just try to follow that
@@830Video oh really? I always find the gold mount batteries and mounts to be a little more pricey. Dope you've found good deals though! You're not a nobody, keep killing it on your videos.
This is the kinda video I was looking for thank you for making this!
Unfortunately you didn't talk about the other options
Hi iBrother Can I use small rig v mount adapter too power sony a7s3. This has an 8v ,12 and an USB out

I want a battery with ten hours of backup for liveu lu800 which battery you suggest?
Hey, your videos are very good! Underrated channel! Make more content for us!
👍

I don't know as I don't have that camera.
how much watthour batteries are safe and allowed to be brought into airplanes/safe to travel overseas with?
Anything under 100wh

@@MarcosRochaTV Thanks.
+12v (i have blackmagic pocket 4k) means i can use for example 14.8v 190wh v mount?
WHAT BLUE CORD IS THAT? I WANT ONE TOO. THX
Didn't quite get the info I was looking for, but still a very nice video!
how is the build quality? How is the build quality of that battery (Fei-du)?
where did you guy those feidu vmount batteries?
How you charge Feidu batteries? Can it be charged trought type C port?
I would get a V Mount Charger

What happened to the other batteries 🤷♂️ was this a commercial
I do like the NANO to be honest. 😃
Thanks man - went with the nano one and a Rolux 98
If you are showing equipment, use fill light.
are you still happy with your fei-du battery?

Don't use any, use gold mount
Hey Robby, why is that?
@@MarcosRochaTV v mount is notoriously untrustworthy on set. Losing connection easily. Gold mount is much more secure and industry standard
