2. QUICK GUIDE
2.1 Power Supply
The MAVO Edge 8K allows different types of power supply:
PD KineBAT 150 (Compatible with V-mount batteries) fits Edge V-Mount hybrid battery plate on the
back. Single PD KineBAT 150 can power the camera for more than 3 hours.
GripBAT 4S (Compatible with BP-U30) can be installed on the BP-U compartment on the back of
MAVO Edge 8K. With a higher capacity up to 52Wh, the GripBAT 4S still enables a power supply
about 60 mins even mounting KineMON-5U monitor on the camera.
GripBAT 2S: Due to specialized UPS power contacts at the bottom of the
camera, MAVO Edge 8K can be constantly powered by two NP-F550
batteries with the UPS Baseplate designed by Movcam. (Recommend
using GripBAT 2S as its capacity is 75% higher than regular 2000mAh
batteries in the market. It has high working current with long battery
time.) No need to turn off the camera when replacing the battery.
Power Cords: Connect different power cords to the 2-pin DC IN port
of the camera body:
1. VDD

CAUTION The voltage of power supply recommends as 11V~26V. Using a Power supply higher than 26V
may burn the body.
CAUTION Please heed the direction of the 2-pin DC IN port on the camera body while plugging/
unplugging the power cords. The red dot/notch indicates the direction in which the power
cable is inserted. Please pay attention to the positive and negative poles of the D-Tap port.
NOTICEA V-mount to Anton-Bauer Plate Adapter is required if you use Anton-Bauer (Gold Mount)
broadcast batteries.
NOTICEWhen two of the four power supplies are available at the same time, the camera automatically
chooses the source with higher voltage, and allows hot-swap of batteries.
NOTICETo save power, use a different power supply for monitors and turn off WIFI.
NOTICEIf the voltage detected is too low to continue shooting, the camera will automatically stop
recording to avoid damage to the clip.

2.2 Mount
MAVO Edge 8K comes with a native KineMOUNT, which needs a mounting adapter to attach a lens to the
camera. The available adapters include EF Mounting Adapter, EF Mounting Adapter with KineEnhancer, PL
Mounting Adapter, SONY E Mounting Adapter, and also ARRI LPL Mounting Adapter.
There are only three steps to install mounting adapters to the KineMOUNT. Here we take EF adapter as an
example. Turn off the camera and then:
1. Release: Keep pressing the KineMOUNT Release Button and rotate the locking ring of the
KineMOUNT counter-clockwise, then take off the KineMOUNT cover;
2. Install: There is a positioning slot above the electronic contacts of the KineMOUNT, please align the
arcuate protrusion on the adapter with the locating slot of KineMOUNT when attaching the mounting
adapter to the camera;
3. Lock: Rotate the locking ring of KineMOUNT clockwise to fasten the adapter to KineMOUNT firmly.
Power on the camera after the adapter is mounted. Press [MENU] button and check the bottom of the menu.
If it presents EF sys 9 (Or a different number), that means you have mounted the adapter successfully.
CAUTION Power off camera when swapping different adapters, else camera or adapters may get burned.
CAUTION As the FFD of KineMOUNT is very short, please don't try to attach any lens directly to
KineMOUNT, except lenses tailored for KineMOUNT, or it will cause permanent damage
to CMOS imaging sensor and OLPF.
NOTICEWhen installing the EF Mounting Adapter with KineEnhancer, please don't touch the optical
glass. Any damage to the glass is irreversible, and the glass has to be replaced.

2.3 Lens
Based on active locking mount as EF Mounting Adapter II, the whole-new EF 3 Mounting Adapter is
designed in accordance with the traditional DSLR lens rotation method and has been much improved.
Compared to the previous version, EF 3 Mounting Adapter not only possesses the traditional way to rotate
the lens clockwise, but also keeps active locking to fasten the lens, thus the EF lens can be installed quickly
and locked clockwise as the PL lens, which is suitable for the utilization of Follow Focus when shooting.
Steps of attaching EF lens to new EF 3 mount:
1. Unlock: Rotate the locking ring of the EF 3 mount counterclockwise till stop; (Take off all the caps or
covers from the camera and the lens mount);
2. Install EF lens: Align the red dot on the lens, the white line on the locking ring and the dot on the
mount. And make sure that the pin on the mount matches the hole of the lens; rotate the EF lens
clockwise till the release button up;
3. Lock: Rotate the locking ring of the EF 3 mount clockwise as the arrow direction until fastened firmly.
Steps of detaching EF lens from new EF 3 mount:
1. Unlock: Rotate the locking ring of the EF 3 mount counterclockwise till stop;
2. Detach EF lens: Fully press the release button on the right side of the EF 3 mount and rotate the EF
lens counter-clockwise.
Steps to attach EF lenses by EF II adapter:
1. Release: Rotate the locking ring of the EF mount clockwise, take off the cover and the lens cover;
2. Install: Align the "red dot" on the lens with the "red dot" on the mounting adapter. Make sure that
the pin on the mount engages with the hole in the mount of the lens. For the EF-S lens, align the
white square on the lens with the one on the mount.
3. Lock: Rotate the locking ring (NOT the lens) counterclockwise (Follow the arrow of "lock sign" on the
mount) until it is fastened firmly.
CAUTION The mounting adapter might be burned if a lens/adapter with all-metal rear end is attached
directly to the camera body. In this case, please keep electronic iris control off:
[MENUSettingsActive MountDisable].

2.5.1 Introducing KineMAG Nano
KineMAG Nano 1TB is composed of KineMAG Nano body and M.2 NVMe internal 2280 SSD, which has a
read and write speed up to 10Gbps. The card body itself has two high-speed ports:
Camera port: Designed for the dual PCIe 3.0 interface card slot of the MAVO Edge 8K camera;
Universal USB-C port: The USB-C port supports the USB3.1 Gen2 protocol. No card reader is needed,
and just one Type-C cable that supports USB3.1 Gen2 can quickly transfer the contents of the
memory card to a Windows-based PC workstation/notebook or Mac. The card write can write at
speeds of up to 10Gbps.
More importantly, the KineMAG Nano 1TB has a built-in specially optimized NVMe M.2 1TB SSD, which
makes the KineMAG Nano 1TB have two major safety features: Read-only feature and RAID 5 redundancy, so
that whether you are copying the card or the card being written at high speed in the camera, the safety and
robustness of the memory card are greatly improved, and no need to worry about the card safety.
NOTICEMAVO Edge 8K features different write speeds in slot A and slot B. Slot A is with Full Speed and
slot B is with High Speed. Remember to choose KineMAG Nano in slot A when you shoot 8K
30fps ProRes 4444 and above, or it will interrupt your shooting work.

2.5.2 The Use of KineMAG Nano
The use of KineMAG Nano is very simple. Open the SSD door and insert the KineMAG Nano 1TB SSD into the
A or B card slot before powering on the camera; you can also insert two SSD cards at the same time. The SSD
card slot is equipped with a built-in magnet door. Above the SSD card slot is the SSD function button, which
has the function of managing the SSDs in the A and B slots; on the right side of the card slot are two SSD
indicator lights for the upper slot A and lower slot B, which indicate the status of the SSD in the slot.
Status of SSD indicator (A, B):
Red: KineMAG Nano in the slot is recording/playing the clip;
Green: KineMAG Nano in the slot is selected;
Orange: KineMAG Nano in the slot is not selected;
Grey: KineMAG Nano is not in the slot.
The monitor screen will show the SSD status:
Yellow [STBY]:The SSD indicator is off, which means that there is no SSD in the slot, so the camera
cannot record. Insert the SSD and reboot the camera;
Yellow [STBY]:The SSD indicator is yellow, which means there is an SSD in the card slot but it is not
displayed on the screen. The file system might be incorrect or the card data is faulty, you still can't
shoot under this status. Please follow the following steps:
The first step: Ensure the data security of the card;
The second step: Format the SSD by [MENUShootFormat SSD]. After the SSD formatting is
completed, the camera will automatically detect the SSD. Then, the SSD will display the remaining
time, roll number and footage serial number of the selected card A/B.
Green [STBY]:The SSD will display the remaining time and roll number of the selected card A/B. At
this time, the SSD indicator of the relevant card is green, and you can shoot and the footage will be
stored in the SSD.
Red [REC]:The camera is recording. The indicator of the selected card A/B card is red at this time.
CAUTION Data can't be recovered after the SSD is rebuilt/formatted; please backup all data before
formatting. Before confirm the operation, please check the SSD you format is SSD A or SSD B.
NOTICEPlease insert the SSD before the camera is powered on, or the SSD will not be detected.
