So what are we looking at in terms of power here? Most PRO camreas give you a choice and most of us select Anton Baur mounts for our external power source. WIth RED's size I wonder if this is possible? Anton Baur batteries are the one brand you KNOW you will be able to get at any rental house, so I an curious as to how this will be done. We're also looking at a fairly nice savings for all of us poor souls that have invested in thiese expensive little gems.

On the subect of AC power, I would suggest that special attention is paid to the transformer. This object is usually a pain in the butt. In a perfect world, RED could have a miniature one inside and the only power cord one would need is the standard 3 prong cord which goes into most computers.

That would be hot, don't know about possible, but it certainly would be neat.

One more thing, on the subejct of AC power, if a tranformer must be used, please make sure it's a standard mount like something found at RADIO SHACK so we do not have to worry about paying for some expensive custom deal.

If they provide good onboard batteries like the aaton batts, and something like a *Fast Charger*, It would be already great. But IŽd also like to plug those 12V XLR batteries we use for film cameras too.
