By popular demand, Hawk-Woods recently introduced a dual Mini V-Lock Adapter designed specifically for the RED V-RAPTOR. This new plate ensures extended run times and allows for battery hot-swapping. It’s now been a little over four months since the release of RED’s new flagship camera, the RED V-RAPTOR. The camera features a single mini V-Lock mount on the back and it can also draw power from its 6-pin DC-IN power input. However, the most demanding users felt the need for a dual V-Lock battery plate that could extend the camera’s run times and allow for a battery hot-swap. Accessories manufacturer Hawk-Woods listened to this request and developed their Hawk-Woods VL-OCI RED Raptor Duel Mini V-Lok Adapter. Let’s take a closer look.

The plate can then host two mini V-Lock style batteries, like the Hawk-Woods VL-M98D or VL-M150D. The two power bricks can be hot-swapped while shooting, thus avoiding any need for rebooting the camera throughout the shoot. A two-way LED indicator provides a visual warning to the user whether or not the remaining charge is sufficient to safely hot-swap one of the batteries, as the VL-OCI plate actively monitors the current power draw.
