Redarc BCDC Alpha 50R || Initial Impressions - It Doesn't Do What I Thought

In this video I will go through my initial impressions of the new DCDC charger that I have installed - The Redarc BCDC Alpha 50R. I will explain why I upgraded my charging setup in the 4WD, why I chose the Redarc Alpha 50R range of DCDC chargers, what I love about it and what I hate about it. The Alpha 50R I purchased specifically for its Redvision integration as advertised by Redarc but it does not work with the Redvision display as I thought it would. The Alpha 50R does offer a lot of other improvements and innovation compared to what I had previously installed. || REDARC BCDC ALPHA 50R || https://geni.us/Redarc-bcdc-alpha-50r === GEAR I USE TO FILM AND EDIT === –– CAMERAS & LENSES –– ▻ Camera 1: https://geni.us/tbt-sony-alpha-a1 ▻ Camera 2: https://geni.us/tbt-sony-a7iv ▻ Wide Angle Prime: https://geni.us/tbt-sony-24-gm-prime ▻ Nifty Fifty: https://geni.us/tbt-sony-fe-55mm-f18 ▻ Wide Angle Zoom: https://geni.us/tbt-tamron-17-28mm ▻ Drone (main): https://geni.us/tbt-mavic-3-pro-flym ▻ Drone (secondary): https://geni.us/tbt-dji-mini-4-pro-fly ▻ Action Camera: https://geni.us/tbt-gopro-hero-10 ▻ Telephoto Lens: https://geni.us/tbt-tamron-28-200mm –– AUDIO –– ▻ Wireless Recorder: https://geni.us/tbt-rode-wireless-pro ▻ Shotgun Mic (studio): https://geni.us/tbt-rode-videomic-ntg ▻ Shotgun Mic (travel): https://geni.us/tbt-sony-ecm-b1m ▻ Headphones: https://geni.us/tbt-sony-wh1000xm3 ▻ Lavalier Microphone: https://geni.us/rode-lavalier-ii –– EDITING –– ▻ Laptop: https://geni.us/m2max-14-12c30c-32g-1t ▻ Monitor: https://geni.us/tbt-dell-u2720q ▻ Mouse: https://geni.us/tbt-logitech-mxmaster3 ▻ Keyboard: https://geni.us/tbt-logitech-mx-keys ▻ Trackpad: https://geni.us/tbt-magic-trackpad ▻ Portable SSD: https://geni.us/tbt-sandisk-2tb-ssd ▻ SD Card Reader: https://geni.us/tbt-satechi-cardreader –– LIGHTING –– ▻ Key Light: https://geni.us/tbt-aputure-p60c ▻ Fill Light: https://geni.us/tbt-neewer-660led ▻ Travel Light: https://geni.us/tbt-aputure-mc ▻ C-Stand: https://geni.us/tbt-neewer-c-stand ▻ GoPro Light: https://geni.us/tbt-gopro-light-mod –– ACCESSORIES & MOUNTS –– ▻ Camera Bag: https://geni.us/tbt-shimoda-explore-35 ▻ Gimbal (Australia): https://geni.us/tbt-dji-rs3 ▻ Gimbal (Overseas): https://geni.us/tbt-dji-rs4-mini ▻ Drone Controller: https://geni.us/tbt-dji-rc-pro ▻ Tripod (Travel): https://geni.us/Ulanzi-Zero-F38-3131 ▻ Tripod (Studio): https://geni.us/tbt-tripod-kfconcept ▻ Tech Pouch: https://geni.us/tbt-tech-pouch ▻ Colour Checker: https://geni.us/tbt-xritepassportvideo ▻ SD Card Case: https://geni.us/tbt-smallrig-2832 ▻ Accessory Pouch: https://geni.us/tbt-shimoda-accessory ▻ ND Filters: https://geni.us/tbt-freewell-nd-magnet ▻ GoPro Dive Case: https://geni.us/tbt-gopro-dive-housing ▻ GoPro Mouth Mount: https://geni.us/tbt-gopole-chomps === CHAPTERS === 00:00 - Introduction. 00:55 - New Alpha range - BCDC & Manager systems. 01:54 - Why I upgraded my DCDC charging system. 03:00 - Faster charging. 03:15 - Ability to limit your charge rate. 03:49 - Excess solar now charges your starter battery. 04:07 - Starter battery can now be recovered from your secondary battery. 05:08 - Looking at the new install. 05:55 - The R-Bus wiring adaptor. 06:15 - Why I chose the Alpha 50R over the Alpha 50. 08:17 - Why I find the Redarc advertising misleading. 08:59 - The Redarc Alpha 50R does NOT work with the Redvision display. 11:23 - Why I don't like using the Redvision app. 12:01 - Redvision phone app vs Redvision Tablet app differences in functionality. 14:05 - Why the Redvision App is not a replacement for the Redvision display. 15:47 - Conclusion - Would I buy it again? || ALSO ACTIVE ON || ◦ Website: https://thebrownetown.com ◦ Instagram:   / thebrownetown   || FOR THOSE WHO CHOOSE TO DONATE || ▻ https://paypal.me/TheBrowneTown **Disclosure Links are affiliate links.
