The Series7 adapter plates for the panasonic camcorders are high impact, low profile ABS molded plastic conversion plates. The adapter plate allows you to convert the existing battery mount to a Series 7 mount, to allow the freedom and convenience of one battery system powering multiple camcorder models. The plate simply locks in to the battery compartment like a battery would and the locking detent system, allows the user to simply attach and detach the Series 7 SL-50 battery as you would any other battery.
The new lighting feature allows you to simultaneously power the XD-L56S light for up to 4 hours with the camcorder
