Product description

• RED DIGITAL CINEMA DSMC2 V-LOCK I/O Expander More than just a way to power your camera, the RED DSMC2 V-LOCK I/O Expander provides a variety of input/output connections in addition to a V-Lock mount for your DSMC2 camera. The Expander is made from magnesium, so it is lightweight yet strong. It enables powering your camera from a V-Mount battery or by an alternate DC source via cable, and you can set it to automatically boot your camera up once power is connected. It provides both 3G-SDI and HDMI outputs, as well as control and sync outputs.
  
  Built-in USB and auxiliary power outputs enable powering accessories and limiting the number of power splitter and converter boxes hanging from your camera. Audio is not forgotten by RED, and the Expander features both an analog stereo input and a stereo headphone jack. It is compatible with the WEAPON 8K S35, WEAPON 6K, as well as the EPIC/SCARLET-W, and the RAVEN.
  Auto Boot-Up on Power-On
  • The Expander features a physical switch that allows you to enable the camera to automatically boot up when power is applied. This is a useful feature for when the camera is in a difficult-to-access position.
  Firmware
  • Since the V-Lock I/O Expander communicates with your camera, and allows electronic signals and video output, it requires that your DSMC2 camera has firmware v6.2.17 or later installed.
  • The Expander simplifies your power and output situation when shooting, and can be removed if you want your camera to have a smaller profile for stash-cam, gimbal, or drone shooting.
• RED DIGITAL CINEMA Touch 7.0" LCD for Select DSMC2 RED Cameras (Aluminum) Designed for cable-free mounting to select DSMC2 RED cameras, the RED DIGITAL CINEMA Touch 7.0" LCD (Aluminum) features 1920 x 1136 resolution. The design of the LCD provides good off-axis viewing up to 170°, with 85° left, right, up, or down so you don't have to be directly aligned with the viewfinder to see an optimal image. The LCD features multi-touch control, with hard navigation buttons on the side.
  
  With a brightness level of 350 cd/m² and contrast ration of 1000:1 providing a clear image, the RED Touch LCD mounts directly to your camera without any cables needed between the LCD and your camera. It can mount directly onto DSMC2 cameras including the WEAPON 8K S35, WEAPON 6K, EPIC/SCARLET-W, EPIC/SCARLET M-X, EPIC/SCARLET DRAGON, and the RED RAVEN. A built-in mirror and image flip allow for monitoring while upside down for special applications.
  • The LCD is designed to mount directly to select cameras for cable-free operation.
  • Used in conjunction with the optional DSMC2 LEMO Adapter Collection, you can mount your DSMC2 display away from the camera body.
  • The built-in hinge provides up to 180° of tilt—90° forward and 90° back—which allows the LCD to fold flat on your camera. The hinge also enables rotating the display 180°.
  • You can use an optional DSMC2 LEMO Adapter B to mount the LCD to RED EPIC or RED SCARLET cameras.
• RED DIGITAL CINEMA DSMC2 Side Handle This DSMC2 Side Handle from RED Digital Cinema works with the WEAPON 8K S35, WEAPON 6K, EPIC-W, SCARLET-W, and RED RAVEN, attaching directly to the side of your camera's DSMC2 BRAIN. It features a molded rubber grip and puts the camera's primary controls literally at your fingertips. It incorporates both focus and iris control wheels, which can be assigned by the user to control other camera functions.
  
  A built-in rotary wheel and D-Pad provide control over menu selections without having to move your hand. It incorporates four assignable buttons to recall often-used function controls such as exposure, white balance, magnification toggle, and autofocus. The built-in record start/stop incorporates a Mark Frame button that allows you to tag frames as you record, so you can more easily find them in post.

It incorporates a push-button activated 3-LED power gauge that indicates roughly the amount of power remaining in the battery.

• RED DIGITAL CINEMA DSMC Battery Belt Clip Especially useful when shooting in lightweight handheld configurations, the RED Digital Cinema DSMC Battery Belt Clip enables you to power your camera from approximately 5.5' away.

Designed for RED Digital Cinema brick batteries, it features a V-Mount connector and supports V-Mount batteries.
  
  The power cable terminates in a 6-pin LEMO 1B connector. The battery belt clip incorporates a D-Tap connector for powering accessories from a single battery. Please note there is a 70W limit on the power draw through the D-Tap connector.

The mounting plate attaches to your camera and makes it compatible with any of RED's quick release mounting platforms. The plate has four small feet which provide a solid support to help prevent your camera from tipping over when placed on a flat surface.
• RED DIGITAL CINEMA RED SIDEWINDER Multi-Tool The RED SIDEWINDER Multi-Tool from RED DIGITAL CINEMA is a great workbench companion for your DSMC and DSMC2 gear. The 11 different drivers can be opened to adjust the screws found throughout the modular DSMC and DSMC2 camera systems. Threaded holes on the sides of the multi-tool can hold non-captive screws safely, so they don't get lost while you make adjustments to your camera or add/remove camera modules. To ensure a long life, the nickel-plated, high-carbon steel alloy driver keys are secured to a heat-resistant polymer composite that should survive many a production. UPC: 856672007065
