D-tap too large!

[Olivier Gresse]

Hi,

I have a problem with a D-tap cable (Hawk-Woods) and the V-mount WC cable-less...

In fact, the end of the D-tap is too large to come in the D-tap socket of the WC... so I can't power in my SmallHD Sidefinder!

Do you have any solution?

Thanks

Probably not a legit dtap cable.

Alot of dtaps are like that. Use a knife / make it fit. Or replace the connector. But most oft time its enought to shave of some plastic with a knife.

Thanks Jarek and Björn,

The D-tap cable works fine with the D-tap of my Globalmediapro Battery but the connection of the WC V-mount cableless seems to be so tight!

Run into this all the time, super annoying.

I usually use a grinding wheel to make the connector smaller.

If you don't have that a file will work, but obviously take more time.

I succeeded, I disassembled the plug and screwed up more strongly. And after several attempts to insert it, I was finally able to put it in.

Thanks for your help!

Use only genuine Anton Bauer D-Tap connectors, these are relatively cheap and easy to install / replace!
