Topic: Powering broadcast camera from the sled battery (Read 489 times)

Hi,
I was hoping someone here could help me, I am interested in buying Anton Bauer batteries to power monitor, video transmitter and camera on stabilizer. How is this possible? Haven't seen any solutions, any dummy-batteries etc. Main camera use is HD-100, DVX-100 (both running on A/B) and Sony DSR 390 (V-mount).
Thanks for any info!
Cheers,
Martin

Hi Martin, I'm not sure I can fully answer your question so maybe someone else will help as well.
I have found the from a 'steadicam prospective' I prefer to power the camera by its self from it's own batteries.and the monitor / Vid transmitter / audio receivers / and or lighting, from battery located low.
This is just my personal preference so the camera does not send any signal into power.

I think I'm assuming right in saying you can power all your items off of one battery, so long as every one of your items use the same voltage. I think custom wiring may be the case, when trying to power more than 2 items off a single battery (most goldplates have a camera output, and a auxiliary output. I wonder if a decent shielded video cable and shielded power cable would cut down/prevent interference....

You can always put a capacitor in parallel with the power leads this will filter out errant signals. |

hi martin, on my previously own magicam, i power the panasonic agdvc200 camcorder, 6" lcd monitor and a 2.4ghz wireless transmiter with just one ab battery mounted at the bottom of the sled. here is a link to old photos of my setup. http://visualline.7p.com/magiqcam_monitor_setup.html the home made breakout box which split the power from the ab battery to the camera and monitor. the wireless which is mounted on the back of the camera (not shown) get it power from the two pins outlet of the camera ab goldmount. you would have to do some more work with the power supply if you intend to use it with the cameras mention as there are of diffrent voltage. if i'm not mistaken, there was a post recently on this. |
