V-Mount Battery Plate with Seven Outputs

The Thinkstar V-Mount adapter converts a single V-lock battery into seven simultaneous power outputs including 15 VDC, 12 VDC, 8 VDC and 5 VDC barrel ports, a 14.8 V D-Tap and two USB sockets. A side-mounted switch controls all outputs at once. It is built for camera operators who need to run a Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4K or 6K, a monitor and accessories from one battery.

15 mm Rod Clamp and Locking Cable Bundle

The package adds a 15 mm rod clamp that secures the plate to standard DSLR rigs and gimbals, plus a right-angle DC 5.5 × 2.5 mm to WEIPU two-pin locking cable made for the BMPCC 4K/6K. Five additional DC cables and a storage bag are also supplied, letting you connect monitors, recorders, microphones and phones without sourcing separate leads.

Power Distribution for Mixed Camera Rigs

The 15 V and 14.8 V outputs drive the BMPCC 4K/6K directly, while the 12 V port feeds typical monitor screens and the 8 V port suits listed Canon DSLR bodies such as the 5D and 7D series. USB and 5 V ports handle phones, audio recorders and small lights. The adapter has no internal battery, so runtime depends entirely on the capacity of the mounted V-lock cell.

Questions about this item

Will the 15mm rod clamp or V-lock mechanism need periodic tightening or replacement?

The 15mm rod clamp and V-lock mount are mechanical fittings with no stated service interval; inspect for wear if the rig is moved frequently.

Which output hits its current limit first when the BMPCC 6K, a monitor and a light run together?

The 14.8 V D-Tap and 15 V barrel share the camera load, while the 12 V barrel feeds the monitor; the lowest-rated rail will saturate first.

How warm does the plate get and is there fan noise during an all-day shoot?

The supplier notes low static consumption and low temperature coefficient, and the unit has no fan, so it runs silently.
