Full details
The Swit S-7000S V-Mount Battery Plate is an essential power solution designed for professional videographers and cinematographers who rely on V-Mount battery ecosystems to power cameras and lighting equipment. It provides a highly reliable and secure connection for your gear, ensuring consistent power delivery during demanding field production.

FAQs
Is the Swit S-7000S compatible with all V-Mount batteries?
Yes, it is designed to work with all industry-standard V-Mount batteries.
Can I use this to power 12V lights?
Yes, as long as the battery you attach provides the correct voltage required by your light.
Does this plate regulate the voltage?
No, this is a passive power distribution plate. It passes through the voltage provided by the battery directly.
How do I mount this to my camera cage?
The plate features multiple mounting holes compatible with standard 1/4" or M4 screw patterns found on most camera rigs.
What should I do if the locking pin gets stuck?
Gently check the release button for physical obstructions or debris, and clean the mechanism with compressed air.
Troubleshooting
Battery does not lock into place
Check the release latch for debris and ensure the battery guide rails are properly aligned.
Intermittent power loss
Inspect the contact pins for any signs of oxidation or dirt and clean them carefully with an electronic contact cleaner.
Plate feels loose on the rig
Verify that all mounting screws are tightened correctly and check if washers are needed to compensate for rig plate thickness.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install the S-7000S, align the mounting holes with your rig's cheese plate or battery bracket and secure it using the provided screws. Ensure that all electrical contact points are kept free of dust and moisture to prevent oxidation. When attaching a battery, slide it into the V-Mount until you hear an audible click to ensure the release latch is fully engaged. For care, wipe the plate down with a dry, lint-free cloth after shoots. Avoid exposing the internal contact pins to liquid or metallic objects to prevent short circuits.
