Hi Kyle, Did you get any update from the Red Epic owner about this? I'm having a similar problem at the moment, but I think it is related to the Red Epic v-mount plate. I have my V-mount plate attached to my camera. It powers the camera fine via the cable attached into the v-lock plate. I then attached a d-tap cable to my v-mount plate and then to my monitor a spark occurs. Camera turns off. I try the monitor through another battery with the same cable and it is fine. I try the monitor through the battery when it is connected to the camera and it sparks. Is the v-mount battery plate causing this problem. As the d-tap ports on the plate do not work now. Update: As an update it only happens when I have the HD-SDI cable plugged into camera and monitor. It won't spark if the HD-SDI cable is not attached. Happens on both my Epic and Scarlet cameras with same plate. So it can't be a fault with both HD-SDI ports or shorting from inside the camera. Problem does not occur when I power monitor separately and camera separately. Thoughts? Is the plate causing this problem.
