RED recently released its new V-Raptor XL 8K VV cine camera. This camera is a wide-voltage camera and is compatible with standard and high-voltage batteries on the market. However, according to RED’s official instructions, all power output functions can only be turned on when using a 28V (24-34V) high-voltage battery. This, however, makes the camera a quasi-high voltage camera, and a large number of the 14V V-mount batteries that exist on the market cannot meet this demand.
SWIT has two sets of high-voltage battery solutions to meet the power supply interface needs of the V-Raptor XL:
B-Mount Solution
B-Mount isn’t just for the ALEXA 35. If you are a rental company or production company that has purchased ALEXA 35, you can use the KA-S21B high-voltage “V-Mount to B-Mount” conversion plate to use B-Mount batteries. These purchased B-Mount batteries can power both the ALEXA 35 and the V-Raptor XL for a universal high-voltage solution.
Bi-Voltage V-mount battery solution
The PB-H290S is a large-capacity dual-voltage V-mount battery. It supports a 14V standard voltage output as well as a 28V high voltage output. It uses unique magnetic induction technology to switch the voltage.
It’s very simple to use, you simply just paste the magnetic sticker that comes with the battery under the V-mount of the V-Raptor XL, and then install the PB-H290S.
By default, the PB-H290S is a 14.4V battery that can be charged with a 14.4V standard V-mount charger. When it senses the magnetic sticker attached to the camera, the front of the battery will light up red and output a 28.8V high voltage.
The two battery solutions offered by SWIT combine versatility and safety. It can simplify the charging solution and maintenance difficulty of the battery, and also prevent the misuse of the high-voltage V-mount battery.
