Introduction
The V-Mount to BP-U Series Battery Adapter Plate with Multiple Outputs is designed for camera setups that use a Sony BP-U-type battery and need a longer-lasting power solution. It combines a BP-U adapter plate for the camera with a V-mount battery plate, giving you a practical way to run compatible gear from a single battery source.
This adapter plate is built for production workflows where managing camera power and accessory power from one system can help simplify the setup.
How the Adapter Plate Is Set Up
The adapter includes a BP-U adapter plate that mounts onto your camera and an adjustable arm that connects to a V-mount battery plate. The arm can be adjusted based on how deep your camera’s battery well is or when space is needed around the plate for additional accessories.
This adjustable structure makes it easier to fit the power system into different camera layouts without forcing the battery position into a fixed setup.
Multiple Outputs for Accessories
On the sides of the V-mount plate, the adapter provides multiple outputs for powering accessories. These include:
- Two 5V USB-A outputs
- Two 8 VDC barrel outputs
- Two 12 VDC barrel outputs
- One 14.8V D-Tap output
The D-Tap output is a two-way plug, so you can connect the cable in either direction.
Useful for Camera Rigs and On-Set Power Needs
This adapter plate is useful in camera rigs where one battery source may need to support both the camera and extra equipment. The included outputs make it suitable for powering accessories that use USB-A, 8 VDC barrel, 12 VDC barrel, or D-Tap connections.
It is also a practical option when you want to keep the camera setup organized with fewer separate batteries attached to different parts of the rig.
Battery Status Visibility
The plate is fully decoded, so battery status can be displayed on the camera. That helps you monitor battery information directly from the camera interface while working.
Conclusion
For creators and production teams using BP-U-type camera gear, the V-Mount to BP-U Series Battery Adapter Plate with Multiple Outputs offers a straightforward way to adapt V-mount power to your setup while also feeding accessories from the same plate.
