Moderators Janice Arthur Posted September 9, 2010 Moderators Report Share Posted September 9, 2010 Hi all; I've found the easiest and has the most options to power the Red off my sled is to use the Red to 4 pin XLR lots of rental houses have in their stock. I use my existing PRO to 4 Pins, of which I have a wide selection. I have so far avoided buying my own Red to Steadicam cables. Because I can use the Red power off the PRO 2 pin lemo or the PRO 3 pin lemo on my sled I'd have to buy 4 cables, $800. I'm not happy about that. Lately, I've had lots a requests for this set up and I may end up buying my own short, like 6 in, Red to 4pin XLR Male to make the set up cleaner. Two cables, $400., expensive but at least its half the price. JA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milos Kodemo Posted September 9, 2010 Report Share Posted September 9, 2010 Hi, you can order just the connectors directly from lemo. I bough 6pin for RED and 3pin for Ultra. It cost me something like 30$ a piece. For the cable, there are various types of course. I bought microphone cables "PROEL" brand which are very flexible. think that minimum order from LEMO is 100chf ( close to 100$). But anyway it is much cheaper than to buy already made cables and made them myself best regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always request a 4-pin XLR power cable from the rental house for whatever camera they supply, and have saved most of that $10k+ for the purpose of philandering.

Chris Do any of you fine people happen to know the pinout for the RED camera power input? I can't find it anywhere online. -Aaron Edited September 24, 2010 by Aaron Smith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Members RonBaldwin Posted September 25, 2010 Premium Members Report Share Posted September 25, 2010 I had Terry make me a red power cable as well as a pig tail and an xlr cable for the f-35. There is almost a volt difference (according to the meter on the camera) when using a direct pro to f-35 cable vs the pro to xlr then an xlr to f-35. Anyone take any readings or notice anything on the red? rb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
