Q: 3. Why this is no longer RED-approved? Any quirk we should be aware of? Thank you.

Q: 4. Can this version be used with smallhd indie 7 to control the camera?

A: Yes, the Tilta TA-T08-AMV2-B is compatible with the RED Control Protocol coming from a connected SmallHD monitor. Be sure to have the RCP2 license on the monitor.

Q: 7. Can the battery be hot-swapped? Can someone please describe the procedure and other items for this task? Thank you.

A: No. Batteries can not be hot swapped on the following unit.

Q: 8. Why is the cable necessary? It already connects to the camera's pinout on top?

A: The cable on the RED DIGITAL CINEMA DSMC3 RED Touch 7.0" LCD Monitor draws its power from the POGO connection on the camera. However to get power to the display a cable is required. The mount has too much articulation for an internal ribbon cable.

Q: 9. Will this unit communicate battery telemetry to the Komodo?

A: The Tilta V-Mount Advanced Power Distribution Module will allow you to see your remaining battery life as a percentage on the RED Komodo’s user interface. It will also display 100% battery life for any voltage over 16V and will hit 0% at 12V which will align perfectly for most batteries.

Q: 10. Is this unit RED approved?

A: The Tilta V-Mount Advanced Power Distribution Module for RED Komodo Type II is not RED approved.
