Anton Bauer Male Gold Mount Battery Plate for Panasonic, Ampex, Sony and Thomson Video Cameras

While designed for professional videographers, the Male Gold Mount Battery Plate is a versatile tool that offers compatibility with a range of video cameras including Panasonic, Ampex, Sony, and Thomson. This high-quality accessory, produced by the reputable Anton Bauer, is a durable and reliable solution for mounting your camera securely to a tripod or other support equipment.

The battery plate features a 3 Stud Anton Bauer Power Tap Connection, conveniently located at the rear of the camera. Operating at a voltage of 12-14.4 VDC, it ensures a steady power supply for your camera and accessories. The PowerTap Receptacle, an exclusive Anton/Bauer feature, allows you to power camera-mounted lights, wireless microphones, or other DC accessories directly from the camera battery. This feature is designed with a 10-amp rating and is internally fused for safety, ensuring reliable operation.

The Gold Mount Battery Plate also includes the Automatique feature, a special power circuit that syncs with the VTR roll signal in your camera or camcorder. This allows an Ultralight to turn on and off automatically with the VTR, eliminating unwanted shadows from overhead lights and minimizing battery drain.

Additionally, the Gold Mount includes the InterActive Viewfinder "Fuel Gauge", a unique feature that transmits the fuel computer signal from the DIGITAL battery to the viewfinder. This provides real-time battery status, ensuring you never miss a shot due to a drained battery.

Unlike older box-style battery holders, the Gold Mount Battery Plate is future-compatible, ready to adapt to new cell technologies as they develop. This makes it a smart investment for any professional videographer seeking a compatible, reliable, and high-quality mounting solution.
