    Can someone confirm this?

    And if confirmed, could someone also that all I need to get for charging my scarlet is the x quickback, battery back for switronix, and the V mount plate itself?

    As far as the batteries go, I'm thinking about getting two GMP Li160wh batteries as well as the charger.

    Will this charger work for the batteries or is it something else? GMP won't allow me to contact them with questions


    Big help, thanks

    I use 5 different manufacturers of V lock batteries/chargers , including global medi, they all cross- compatible, it's a standard mount

    That's my setup Michael. Quick Back is brilliant. All works well.

    Best

    I agree, The quick back is brilliant. The best part of that setup is you get a battery percentage readout so you know exactly how much battery you have left.

    Whereabouts are the V-Mount adapters and backplates that aren't in backorder? I am having trouble finding anything for a decent price that is in stock....

    That setup should work Michael and seems to be what a lot of people are going for. The x system is a little confusing to work out - you need a mount for your mount for your mount for your battery! But you got it. It's annoying that GMP isn't contactable to ask questions but they say it's what keeps their prices low. 160Wh is a good size battery too. I've used them with other gear. They are the maximum size you can take as carry on luggage on a plane and only 10% heavier than the 90WH ones. You'll need at least three to get continuous power where you have access to mains to plug in the charger. Your 1st used battery should charge
