Is the listed HD-SDI system cable is just a regular cable or if there is something special about it that binds it travel up and down with the post better?

The cable is thinner then a normal HD-SDI cable and if you order together with the rig we configure it so that it is attached to the coiled power cable. This way it automatically extends with the post.

Does my Raptor already include 2 top mount options – so i can snap a tripod plate or slide on as with standard Arri dovetail method?

No. The standard setup is a Arri Adapter setup. We offer as a option to get the clamp adapter instead. Keep in mind that if you order the clamp that you mite need a camera plate. The clamp is designed to work with narrow OCconor size plates (and slightly larger ones). Exact details will follow. We also will be offering a special priced cameras plate for those who need one.

I would also like to order dual V-mount battery stage, but there is nowhere on your order form to do so, what is the cost of the dual battery plate?

We will be offering the option for either our dual “SwapPack” system or a second battery module (that will offer separate power for accessories) before shipping. You will still be able to change your order then if you want to.
Please keep in mind that the Raptor is a new product line and that we want to finalize some details before offering them.

What is the capacity range of your standard springs and the capacity range of your heavy-duty springs?

The standard spring package covers around 15 to 28lbs (all springs) or around 8 to 15 (two springs each). The heavy duty around 28 to 35 lbs (full) and 14 to 18 (half).
This said. The heavy duty springs are only for heavier camera setups and don’t replace the standard ones if you want to fly light weight cameras to. If you are flying a Epic/Scarlet setup I would recommend getting the standard springs. If you find out you rather want the heavy duty – I’ll be happy to swap them out.
If you are flying a REDone – then order the heavy duty.

Raptor Sled

The pictures of the stage show the function of the 2 step stage. Basically the stage it self allows you to mount your own mounting plate. On the one example you see a ARRI dowetail (AP Arri Adapter Plate – optional*) mounted directly to the stage. This allows you to move the camera from you rig to the tripod very fast.
On the other example you see the clamp adapter (optional*) mounted. this gives you the same ability to mount a regular dovetail like on other stabilizing systems.

* Group buy and Pre-Order package will include either one (you can choose which one you want)
