DSMC2 V-LOCK I/O EXPANDER

The DSMC2 V-Lock I/O Expander offers a variety of Input/Output connections, as well as an industry standard

V-Lock mount to power your DSMC2 camera using RED BRICK batteries.

The DSMC2 V-Lock I/O Expander also features a selector switch that enables the BRAIN to automatically boot

when power is provided via the DC IN connector on the expander. This feature allows you to use a connected

DC input supply to turn the BRAIN on and off when the camera is mounted in remote or difficult to maneuver

locations.

This expander is an ideal solution for a wide variety of production environments—from low-profile run-and-gun

situations to studio shoots that require mobility.

NOTE: The DSMC2 Top Handle may not be fully compatible with the DSMC2 V-Lock I/O Expander, as the top

handle may interfere with the battery when one is attached to the expander module.

NOTE: Only one (1) expander module can be used at a time.
