The Wooden Camera D-Box for RED DSMC2 Gold Mountfrom Wooden Camera D-Box for RED DSMC2 Gold Mountis an adapter that provides power distribution, remote power on/off, and hot swap battery functions for the RED DSMC2 cameras. Expanding your selection of powered accessory connectors, this box features two D-Tap ports, two 2-pin LEMO ports, two 3-pin Fischer ports, one 5V USB port, and one 12-16V DC input port. All outputs are active simultaneously, and there is access to an additional D-Tap port on the battery plate itself, for a total of three operational D-Tap ports.

Designed to fit between a battery and the camera's battery mount, the D-Box has a male Gold Mount on one side, and a female Gold Mount on the other, internally passing power to the output connectors and to the camera. The D-Box's DC input port enables you to connect a power supply, thus maintaining power to both the camera and its accessories during a battery swap.

The D-Box features tool-free installation, a cable-free interface, and compatibility with WC, REDVOLT, and OFFHOLLYWOOD expander modules. Connectors on the D-Box are contoured to match those on the expanders, so there is no tangling of cables. An ARRI start/stop trigger may be connected via one of the box's 3-pin Fisher ports.
