Accessories and power solutions for Zephyr camera stabilizer used with RED cameras

15 years old. Gear and prices may have changed since.

What the thread found

  • A battery hanger for Zephyr that accommodates two 12/24V batteries enables hot-swapping power on RED cameras and distributes high current load between batteries
  • RED Epic requires a different power cable than RED One, featuring a proprietary Lemo connector with a specific pin configuration
  • The RED Epic power connector uses a 6-pin Lemo insert with 4 larger pins and 2 smaller pins, which differs from standard connectors available through electronics suppliers
  • Custom RED Epic power cables can be fabricated by specialists and typically cost around $240
  • The correct Lemo connector part for RED Epic can be ordered through local dealers if you know the specific part number

Depends on

  • The discussion dates from 2011 when RED Epic was current technology
  • Pricing information is from 2011 and may not reflect current costs
  • One participant attempted to source a standard Lemo connector from an electronics supplier but found it had incorrect pin configuration
