Description

FREEFLY RED EPIC D-Tap Power Cable

The FREEFLY RED EPIC D-Tap Power Cable is a specialized power solution designed to provide reliable and clean power from Freefly MōVI gimbal systems (specifically the MōVI Pro and MōVI XL) or other D-Tap power sources directly to RED EPIC, Weapon, and Scarlet cinema cameras. This cable is engineered to ensure consistent power delivery, which is paramount for the stable and uninterrupted operation of high-end RED cameras in dynamic gimbal environments.RED cinema cameras like the EPIC, Weapon, and Scarlet are power-hungry devices, and providing them with stable power on a gimbal is critical for avoiding power drops or interruptions during a shoot. Freefly’s dedicated cable addresses this by offering a tailored solution that integrates seamlessly with their gimbal power ecosystem.

Key features and benefits of the FREEFLY RED EPIC D-Tap Power Cable include:

• RED Camera Compatibility: Specifically designed to power RED EPIC, Weapon, and Scarlet cameras. It features the required LEMO 1B 6-pin connector on the camera end, which is the standard power input for these RED camera models.
• D-Tap (P-Tap) Power Source: The other end of the cable terminates in a standard D-Tap connector. This allows it to plug into the D-Tap power outputs found on Freefly MōVI Pro and MōVI XL gimbals (which offer adjustable 12-14V camera D-Tap ports with up to 6A current) or other professional V-mount/Gold mount batteries with D-Tap ports.
• Optimized Length for Gimbals: The cable is typically available in a short, optimal length (e.g., around 250mm or 9.8 inches for MōVI Pro, and longer for MōVI XL) to minimize excess cable slack. This is crucial for avoiding interference with gimbal motors, maintaining precise balance, and reducing snagging hazards during operation.
• High-Quality, Flexible Construction: Made with custom thin and flexible wiring and high-quality connectors. This design ensures durability to withstand the rigors of production use, including constant movement and repeated handling, while remaining pliable enough for clean cable routing on a compact gimbal rig.
• Reliable and Stable Power: Engineered to deliver a consistent and stable power supply to the RED camera, preventing fluctuations that could affect camera performance or lead to unexpected shutdowns. It supports the high current draw required by fully rigged RED setups.
• Supports Hot-Swap (with MōVI Pro/XL): When powered by a MōVI Pro or MōVI XL, the cable allows users to take advantage of the gimbal’s hot-swap battery capabilities, providing virtually unlimited uptime for the camera without needing to power down the system.

The FREEFLY RED EPIC D-Tap Power Cable is an indispensable MōVI accessory and a critical component for any professional cinematographer using a RED EPIC, Weapon, or Scarlet camera on a Freefly gimbal. It provides a reliable and efficient cinema camera power solution that enhances workflow and ensures continuous operation of your high-value RED system within the Freefly MōVI ecosystem.
