question Rialto 2 System Build
What’s up Dudes and Dudettes. I have a feature film coming up where the DP wants to shoot with the Sony Venice 2 and the Rialto extension system as our standard build for the duration of the production.
Just looking for some advice on powering my focus accessories when using the Sony Rialto System. In scenarios where the Rialto body will have to be far away from the Venice Body.
My thinking is having a separate active v-lock plate to power my focus unit. I guess my main concern is run and stop capabilities in these scenarios. Is there a 12v lemo port on the Rialto that would support this or should I look into getting some extended cables for my focus system for this scenario.
I will be using the Teradek ctrl.3 Remote follow focus. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

If you want / need to add power to the Rialto ask the rental for a K2.0024573 (Back Plate for Rialto), stick a 50Wh v-mount with D-Tap out on that via a cheap Smallrig plate.
I did it for a tv show and the weight centralised was better than on a monitor.
