Paglink batteries not working with Red One Plate

[Ryan Broomberg]

Hey Guys
I just bought a set of Paglink batteries and I have the red one battery plate and it seems that the battery doesnt fully connect with the plate. If I touch the battery when its connected it shut my camera off. Has anyone heard of this? If so what plates work with paglink and the red one?

You are sure that it is actually seated correct? Sometimes it take a little bit of force.

Yes! I tried one of my friends dyno batteries and had no problems at all.

The banana contact pins in the Red plate have a tendency to compress and not spring back resulting in poor contacts. Check them closely and if necessary use a pin or small slot headed instrument screwdriver to prise out the contact springs to make better contact with the batteries.

So Eric are you saying do this every time I put the battery on or just once to fix it? It's a problem I only know exists when it happens and my camera turns off.

I would rather get the battery solution that works the best now then having to rig my equipment during shoots. Any suggestions on plates that would work better or a better battery solution?

Not every time. Just something to keep an eye on if the battery starts playing up again.

IDX brand V-Lock plates and Anton Bauer plates are industry standard and reliable, and more expensive!
