The 15mm Rod Clamp V-Mount Battery Plate is a lightweight and highly versatile power mounting solution designed for compact cinema camera builds. Combining a professional V-Lock battery interface with an integrated 15mm rod clamp, it allows high-capacity V-Mount batteries to be mounted securely without occupying valuable space on the camera cage or top handle.
The integrated quick-release lever enables fast battery installation and removal, allowing crews to swap batteries in seconds during demanding productions.
Unlike traditional rear battery plates, this design mounts directly onto standard 15mm LWS rods, making it an excellent choice for lightweight camera packages, compact documentary rigs, gimbal builds, vehicle rigs, and handheld setups where balance and weight distribution are critical.
By relocating the battery lower on the rod system, the plate helps improve camera balance while providing additional space around the camera body for wireless transmitters, monitors, focus motors, and other accessories.
Ideal for powering cinema cameras and accessories through compatible D-Tap or regulated power cables (sold separately), the plate integrates easily into professional workflows built around ARRI, Sony, RED, Canon, Blackmagic, and Panasonic cinema cameras.
Whether you’re shooting a commercial in Bangkok, a documentary in Chiang Mai, or a music video in Phuket, this compact V-Mount solution keeps your rig lightweight, organized, and production-ready.
