SmallHD D-Tap to Sony L-Series Faux Battery
Eliminate battery anxiety and streamline your on-set workflow with the SmallHD D-Tap to Sony L-Series Faux Battery Power Adapter. Designed for the demanding pace of professional production, this essential accessory allows you to power your Sony L-Series compatible devices, including the full range of SmallHD on-camera monitors, directly from high-capacity V-Mount or Gold Mount batteries. Say goodbye to the constant hassle of swapping small, internal batteries and hello to uninterrupted, all-day power for your most critical gear.
For filmmakers, videographers, and camera assistants, managing power is a constant battle. A dead monitor at a critical moment can compromise a shot, while carrying dozens of L-Series batteries and multiple chargers adds unnecessary weight and clutter to your kit. This adapter is the elegant solution. By tapping into a centralized, professional battery source via its industry-standard D-Tap connector, you create a more efficient and reliable power ecosystem. The faux battery component fits securely into your device's battery slot, ensuring a stable connection that won't get accidentally unplugged during a dynamic shoot. The integrated power regulator ensures your sensitive electronics receive a clean, consistent voltage (typically 7.4V), protecting them from potential damage from unregulated power sources.
Built with durability in mind, the cable is robust enough to withstand the rigors of daily production use. Whether you're powering a SmallHD Focus 7, a CINE 7, or an external LED light, this adapter provides the peace of mind you need to focus on what truly matters: capturing the perfect shot. Simplify your setup, reduce your carry weight, and unlock the full potential of your gear with this indispensable power solution.
