Volt Monitor V.1
Volt Monitor V.1
Introducing Volt Monitor by Kinetic Camera Works (it’s me). This is not a mediocre LED voltmeter that you’ve seen. In fact, this is an OLED 12V voltmeter display that I can customize for you. Your name, your logo, even a short animation can be done. Working on set can be boring. This is when function meets fashion. This little personalized gadget can bring wow(s) to you!
It can be programmed to read anywhere from 5-25volt DC.
The default is 12.7-16.8V
connectors available: P-Tap, Lemo, XLR.
The lead time is 1-3 weeks.
For more details below please scroll down.
*For the most accurate voltage readout. The VM-1 should be plugged directly into the battery via P-tap.*
If you plug it in to a battery plate, splitter or any other breakout box the voltage readout won’t be as accurate because of these few variables: wire resistant, diodes, circuit regulator and etc.
*The “LOW BAT” warning will trigger if the voltage drops below 12.7V.*
There’re 5 options you can choose.
No Customize. Comes with no customization. The boot-up will display “Volt Monitor. The name on the top section will be blank.
Standard. You can add a name on the top section of the display up to 10 alphabets. The boot-up will display “Volt Monitor”
Loop animation. You can add a name like a Standard option. Plus, you get to choose your choice of loop animation. You can add a name to these animations = slate, hand-unit, Steadicam. (Please take a look at a gallery bellow).
A loop animation will display every 1 minute. (That’s the optimal interval I have experienced so far). The boot-up will still be “Volt Monitor”.Boot-up & Loop animation. You get to add a name on a top section like a Standard option. Plus you can choose up to 2 animations that you like to have. One is for boot-up and another one is for loop animation. A loop animation will display every 1 minute. (That’s the optimal interval I have experienced so far)
Your own graphic. It’s a real deal here. Send your graphic in and consult with me on what and how you want it to look like. You get to have all the previous options plus your own graphic.
Display timeline: Boot-up screen (5 sec) > Loop animation (2 sec) > Voltage readout.
Then every 1 minute a loop animation will display again.

(The actual display won’t split up like this. GIF file compressed the fps)
The Volt Monitor V.1 comes with a P-Tap connector and 16” long power cable. If you want a different connecter and cable length, please let me know first.
For those who want to design their own animation/graphic.
Here is a spec I need from you: a BMP file, 128x64 pixel in black and white. An animation sequence is maxed at 7 frames.
