  • Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

Another Cheap battery alternative

Does anyone know if its possible to convert a V-Mount plate with a Red 6 Pin Lemo to a V-Mount with a 2.5mm DC used on the Black Magic Camera. Is this possible? Don't wanna have to buy another V-Mount for the Black Magic.
 
Any updates? I have a WC vmount that connects via cable - would that work?
 
I use the WC V mount battery plate/adaptor as well. It's okay and has been working for me for about 2 years but the wires are exposed at the point it attaches to the camera which caused me to be concerned it may detach at any point (it has not so far though). I have recently ordered the Tilta v mount adaptor which seems much more solid. Can update you when I get it if you want.

Forgot to check back on this thread. Thanks for the replies.
That WC v-mount plate looks good. Are you guys using the 2x D-tap ports to power accessories too?

I was looking at the Tilta plate because it has "12V, 8V, and 5V coaxial as well as a 14.8V P-Tap port" and I would like to be able to power my monitor and power (or at least charge) my audio recorder (5 volt - Tascam DR-100MKII) from the same battery. It says for Red One MX, but would this also work on Scarlet? http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1056296-REG/ikan_tt_0501_tilta_red_one_mx.html
 
Havent used the ports yet but Ryan at WC showed me how it powers up the paralynx arrow with their soon to be here converter box. The plate works beautifully so far though!
 
Yes, those are the ones referred to. And they do work with w00dn cameras back and plate. That's the setup I have and they're still going strong. Best value ever.
 
Hey Redusers. Just wanted to keep this thread alive. I just received my Power U 150wh battery from China. I have to say I'm very impressed. It's very thin and compact, about as wide as my Scarlets body. I haven't taken it on shoots, but I just ran a quick test and the battery powers up my camera for 2.5 hours. Just FYI for those wondering about how long these batteries last.
 
I also just received two Power-U 190Wh batteries today. Delivery took 3.5 weeks but it's all good because I don't have my camera brain yet.
They are labeled "88Wh" on the battery and the ebay seller said this was to avoid flight/customs issues.
 
Yes that's correct, they can be found on eBay for sometimes a little cheaper.

Power U 130WH on eBay for $170 with free shipping

The 150WH is not that much more expensive. I also purchased the 130WH which hasn't come in yet, but I imagine it'll run the camera about 2 hours. I'll share my test results here later. A friend of mine told me his 190WH powers the camera for something like 3.5-4 hours. I'd totally grab one of those if I could based on the 150WH one I just tested.
 
Looks they don't have an AB mount version..anyone know of a different company that has one..?
