Alternative Battery Plates for Wooden Camera Setup

[Cody Cha]

My one concern is availability.

Both WC and VF have been backordered for some time and I haven't heard any updates on when that will be fixed. I'm just trying to figure out the best solution right now.

I'll definitely keep my eye out for yours!

You can still order the QuickBack from Wooden Camera even though it's out of stock. It took exactly 2 weeks for them to ship. I got the Switronix plate from abelcine, which was in stock at the time.

I'm going to wait and see what the ActinoProducts price theirs at.

Right now it's:

Wooden Camera: $598
VF: $699

Personally, I like VF's system a bit better. It's cleaner...

But I'm all about saving where I can.

 

[Trevor Meeks]

VF's plate is fantastic. I have yet to see anything that compares. The difference in price is minute compared to the entire camera system itself, so really isn't an issue IMO.

Wooden Camera's is $679. Or do you not have to buy the quick back battery back?

I did not realize that!

I'm sticking with V-Mounts because of how expensive 90Wh Dionics are.

 

[Mike P.]

How much more expensive are AB batteries compared to v-mount? Also who's the makes the cheapest, reliable v-mount batts? GMP?

GMP looks like the best deal for sure.

90Wh Dionics are almost doube the price of a 140Wh GMP:
