Our thoughts
"The MUTINY KX-IO is the sort of accessory that makes a compact RED body feel much more production-ready. I like it because it brings together battery mounting, useful power outputs and camera control connections in one unit, which helps tidy a KOMODO-X or V-RAPTOR build and makes it easier to run accessories properly."

Product description
Rent a MUTINY KX-IO Power & I/O Module with V-Mount Plate if you need a cleaner and more capable back-end power solution for a RED KOMODO-X or V-RAPTOR build. It is a strong option for filmmakers, owner-operators and production crews who want to power the camera and accessories from a single V-mount battery while adding more useful I/O to the rig.
The MUTINY KX-IO Power & I/O Module with V-Mount Plate mounts directly to the back of the camera and adds a V-mount battery plate designed for a single high-capacity battery. It is built specifically for the RED KOMODO-X and V-RAPTOR, and is intended to turn either camera into a more practical production configuration with easier accessory powering and better cable management than a more improvised battery solution.
What makes this module especially useful is that it is not just a battery plate. It also adds a wide range of built-in power and control connections, including 2-pin power, D-Tap, Fischer run/stop, timecode and genlock options, along with a record button and tally light. For anyone looking for a MUTINY KX-IO rental through a dependable camera rental Canada supplier, it is a very sensible choice when a RED compact body needs to function more like a fully integrated cinema camera rig.

Power distribution and RED camera integration
The MUTINY KX-IO is built to simplify power distribution on RED KOMODO-X and V-RAPTOR camera builds. By mounting directly to the back of the camera, it creates a more integrated V-mount setup while reducing the need for separate plates, loose power boxes or extra brackets. That can make a meaningful difference on compact builds where space is limited and accessory cabling can quickly become messy. The plate is designed around a single V-mount battery, and a 12A battery draw is recommended for the intended workflow.
Beyond battery mounting, the KX-IO adds a broad selection of production-oriented connections. It includes two unregulated 2-pin power outputs, two D-Tap outputs, a Fischer 3-pin run/stop with power, a 5-pin timecode and genlock combo port, a BNC genlock connection, a 4-pin control port and a 6-pin DC input for battery hot-swap operation. There is also a built-in 9-pin EXT cable for connection to the camera, plus a 9-pin pass-through port for additional control and trigger functions. Taken together, that makes the unit much more than a simple power plate.
There are also a few practical touches that matter on real shoots. The anti-battery drain switch helps prevent unnecessary battery loss between setups, while RED-approved batteries can pass SMBUS information through to the camera display. A resettable digital fuse protects the 2-pin and Fischer-powered outputs, which is useful when running multiple accessories from the same module.
Why rent the MUTINY KX-IO Power & I/O Module with V-Mount Plate?
The MUTINY KX-IO Power & I/O Module with V-Mount Plate is an excellent rental choice for productions building out a RED KOMODO-X or V-RAPTOR into a more complete cinema rig. It is especially useful for commercial shoots, documentary work, multicam builds, studio setups and owner-operator packages where powering accessories cleanly and adding practical I/O can make the camera easier to use on set.
It also makes a lot of sense as a rental because it is a very specific rigging accessory for a very specific camera ecosystem. When the project needs a cleaner V-mount-powered RED build with better power distribution and control ports, it becomes highly useful. When it does not, there is little reason to keep it mounted full time. Renting lets you add that extra functionality only when the assignment genuinely calls for it.
Rent a MUTINY KX-IO Power & I/O Module with V-Mount Plate from Canada Camera Rentals and give your next KOMODO-X or V-RAPTOR build a cleaner, more integrated and more production-ready power setup.
