What the thread found

• HD video lines can be run down the post and terminated at a connector on the base, with enough slack to accommodate post telescoping
• Anton Bauer battery plate installation requires swapping the existing plate and reconnecting wires, with secure mounting being the main challenge
• Removing the K section from a Master Series sled reduces available counterweight extension, potentially limiting camera weight capacity unless multiple additional batteries are added
• Keeping the K section provides better counterweight positioning for full-size camera setups like Alexa
• A complete sled rebuild with home run HD lines in a custom harness and simplified housing is possible but requires specialized modification skills

Depends on

• Discussion focuses on Master Series sleds specifically
• Cost estimates for upgrades not provided
• Two-voltage 24V Anton Bauer setup question raised but not fully resolved
• Modifications are advanced customization projects requiring experienced technicians
• Thread from 2014, specific equipment and vendor information may be outdated
