Wooden Camera D-Box V-Mount Battery Plate for Blackmagic URSA Mini/Mini Pro Camera

Overcome power limitations with the D-Box V-Mount Battery Plate, a custom-designed solution for the Blackmagic URSA Mini and Mini Pro Cameras. This high-quality, durable battery plate offers power distribution, standardized remote start/stop, and hot swap capabilities for a variety of Blackmagic URSA Mini Pro models, including EF, PL, B4, and more.

The D-Box V-Mount Battery Plate attaches directly to the back of the camera body using a special Molex connector, eliminating the need for external cabling. It seamlessly interfaces with the rear LANC port, enabling the D-Box to control the camera's run/stop function. The connectors on the D-Box are contoured to match the URSA Mini's, ensuring all cables can be installed without any collisions.

This professional-grade battery plate communicates with the camera, allowing any ARRI standard start/stop trigger to be used with the 3pin Fischer port. The DC input on the D-Box is a Mini 4pin XLR, and the kit also includes a pigtail cable that converts to a full-size 4 pin XLR, providing the option to connect an AC Power Supply or External Power Plate. This feature enables you to power accessories and the camera during a battery change.

When both battery and DC input are utilized, the D-Box defaults to the DC input, leaving the battery fully charged. The authentic IDX V-Mount plate provides 2x D-Tap (unregulated) on the power plate itself. However, one D-Tap may be obscured by the right side BNC connectors when in use.

The camera receives an unfused connection to the power source, and the D-Box connectors share a 7.5A fuse. It's important to understand the power capabilities of your batteries when using D-Box battery modules. Most high-end cinema batteries can supply up to 10A, with the URSA Mini camera generally consuming 3-4A in standard configuration. Although the remaining power is available from the D-Taps, LEMO compatible connectors, Fischers, etc., it is recommended to limit the power draw to 5A or less for optimal results. Exceeding a battery's power capabilities can cause the battery to shut off, interrupting the camera and accessory power.

In conclusion, the D-Box V-Mount Battery Plate is a reliable, sturdy solution for powering your Blackmagic URSA Mini or Mini Pro Camera, offering compatibility with a variety of cables and accessories.
