    Hi guys,

    I put a Red Weapon on my MoVI Pro today. The camera shuts off after several seconds on the MoVI Pro. I was using the 12 -14V port for Red power supply.

    Anyone experienced similar situation?

    Thanks,

    Q

    There are two D-Taps on the bottom of the Tilt Stage Unit. Are you plugged into the 6 Amp Camera Power D-Tap, or the 2 Amp Accessory D-Tap? One should power your camera, and the other will not.

    Thanks!
    Yeah I've tried both they are not working. Perhaps its the I/O part.

    Thanks for replying!

    I have tried both. 12-14V should work. At this point I think it might be the camera not the MoVI

    Hi all, I seem to be having the same problem. Using an Epic-W with the 7" Display and it goes on for a little bit then dies, then I turn it back on and it comes on but it locks up. I can power it with a Battery or the DC power and all works great. This only happening when I try to power it with the Movi. Any help will be appreciate it. (will also try with an Ursa mini as soon as I get the right power cable). Thank you again.

    Red weapon camera - from cam dtap
    Parralinx arrow xTrx + rtmotion Trx with the help of DTap splitter on aux 12v dtap from bottom
    And swit 5.5" SDI monitor on 12v gimbal unit dtap
    All works fine for more then 50 mins from movipro batteries in standby mode
    Yet to test recording mode

    Only mimic drains power so fast?
    Is it advisable to power mimic with usb power banks on the fly?

    Could it be the 7" LCD? I assume that draws a bit more power. Will it work if you unplug the larger display?

    I have been wondering that my self, the problem is that I can't control the camera any other way.
    Got foolcontrol app but need to enable wifi once it boots and can't without the monitor...

    So I figure I would turn here to see if anyone else has run into this issue and how to solve it..:/)

    Manoj, what monitor are you using?

    Thank you for your input.

    Update, I was able to run the camera without the 7" monitor. Was able to control it via foolcontrol by just leaving the ad-hoc wifi option enabled and running an smallHD monitor (with it's own battery) for monitoring the shot. Also was able to power a terradek CUBE off the 12v Aux P-tab

    If anyone from Freefly could weigh in here that'd be brilliant. I'm very interested in which (if any) red touch monitors are compatible with the Epic-W/Movi Pro combo. Just want to know if there's a possible fix that'll let the 7" touch work or if I need to get the 4.7" or use a 502 or something like that. Currently flying my Epic Dragon until I get the call for my upgrade with no problems with the 7" Red Touch LCD.

    I can confirm the Weapon MG 6k works with 7" and teradek 600. I cant additionally power my AXIS 1 receiver so Im using the old movi lipo batteries at the moment. Whole setup lasts about 35 min with normal shooting, 45 in standby.
