Product Information

Full details

The SmallRig Adapter Plate Kit for NP-F Type Batteries is designed for videographers and cinematographers who require long-lasting, reliable power for cameras and field monitors during extended shoots. This dual-battery plate offers the critical advantage of hot-swapping power sources, ensuring your gear stays live during continuous filming sessions. While it provides excellent versatility with multiple output ports, users should note that it requires an existing 15mm LWS rod system or V-mount setup for optimal integration into their rig.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Does this plate charge the batteries while they are in use?

The plate is primarily designed to discharge power to your devices, but it supports charging when connected to a compatible high-wattage power source via USB-C.

Can I use only one battery at a time?

Yes, the system functions with a single battery, though hot-swapping is only possible when both slots are utilized.

What is the maximum output of the USB-C port?

The USB-C port supports up to 36W of input for fast charging the batteries.

Is this compatible with V-mount battery systems?

The plate features a V-mount for mounting the plate itself to a V-mount receiver, but it is specifically designed to use NP-F type batteries to power external gear.

Are the batteries included with the kit?

No, the batteries are sold separately.

Will this power a cinema camera?

Yes, provided the camera can be powered via D-Tap or the supported DC output voltages and the NP-F batteries provide sufficient capacity for the camera's power draw.

Troubleshooting

Device is not receiving power

Check that the independent power switch is toggled to the on position and ensure the batteries are fully seated in the plate slots.

LED indicator is not showing status

Verify that the batteries have a charge and that they are properly locked into the mounting interface.

USB-C fast charging not initiating

Ensure the power source being used for the USB-C port supports at least 36W of output.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up the plate, slide it onto your 15mm LWS rods and tighten the integrated clamp knobs to secure it. If you prefer a different configuration, utilize the V-mount or the 1/4-20 threaded hole to attach the plate to a light stand or camera cage. Ensure all connected devices are within the compatible voltage ranges provided by the D-Tap and DC ports. For care, store the plate in a dry environment and clean the contacts with a dry, lint-free cloth periodically to maintain a solid electrical connection. Always turn off the device switch before mounting or unmounting the plate from your rods.
