Mount a V-mount battery on your camera rig using this raven black Mini V-Mount Swivel Kit from Kondor Blue. Offering multiple mounting options, this plate integrates a 15mm rod block with standard 60mm spacing, secured via two captive M4 bolts and further reinforced by ARRI-style anti-twist pins, ensuring a secure connection to the battery plate. It can be inverted to expand the range of mounting possibilities.

Operating on a 19mm rod, the plate offers pivot functionality, allowing users to adjust tension according to preference or completely lock it off. Each element undergoes precision machining from aerospace-grade aluminum and stainless steel, ensuring durability and guaranteeing that you can confidently place the kit down without any concern for accidental dislodging of your V-mount battery.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Will this safely power a Sony FX3?

A: Because the Kondor Blue D-Tap to USB-C Power Delivery Cable for Mirrorless Cameras comes with a regulator on the cable, it can safely power USB-C powered accessories without worrying about overvolting. Going a step further, if you use USB-C PD, this protocol will create a handshake between the battery and the system being powered, yo produce the exact amount of power needed without needing a regulator.

Q: 2. Does this cage fit the Canon EOS R5 C ?

A: The Kondor Blue Camera Cage for Canon EOS R5/R5 C//R6/R with Battery Grip is compatible with the Canon EOS R5 C Mirrorless Cinema Camera (B&H # CAER5C).

Q: 3. Hi! Will this work with canon r5? Thanks

A: Yes, the Kondor Blue D-Tap to USB-C Power Delivery Cable for Mirrorless Cameras (16", Raven Black) is compatible with the Canon EOS R5 Mirrorless Camera.

Q: 4. Does this work to power the SmallHD Indie 7?

A: The Kondor Blue Coiled D-Tap to DC 5.5 x 2.5mm Barrel Right-Angle Cable (Raven Black) would not work for powering SmallHD displays. We recommend the cable below for powering the SmallHD Indie 7. SmallHD D-Tap to 5.5mm Male DC Barrel Power Cable (3') BH #SMCBLPWRDT36

Q: 5. The cable doesn't provide power to the Hollyland 300 Pro (from experience) - is there any reason this would be the case?

A: The Hollyland Mars 300 PRO does not require USB-PD, so the Kondor Blue D-Tap to USB-C Power Delivery Cable for Mirrorless Cameras when connected to a respective battery, will provide power.

Q: 6. Will this power a SmallHD 502 Bright from a V-mount battery (via Tap)?

A: Yes, since the SmallHD 502 Bright On-Camera Monitor (BH #SMMON502B) uses LP-E6 batteries as a power source, you can use an LP-E6 dummy battery like the Kondor Blue D-Tap to Canon LP-E6 Dummy Battery Cable (Raven Black, 16-36") to power the monitor off of a V-mount battery.

Q: 7. Any support for RED Komodo start/stop?

A: The Kondor Blue Cage Top Handle with Start/Stop Camera Control for Select Cameras (Black) does not support start/stop control for RED Komodo cameras.

Q: 8. Can this be used to charge camera batteries that have a D-tap charging input? For example, IDX 98bpu and others? In a pinch, perhaps? And what would be an optimal, small and powerful, charger to plug USBC into?

A: Yes, the Kondor Blue D-Tap to USB-C Power Delivery Cable for Mirrorless Cameras is a two way cable. It could charge Gold mount or V-Mount batteries that support D-TAP charging.

Q: 9. Will the start/stop button work with a Nikon Z8?

A: The Kondor Blue Cage Top Handle with Start/Stop Camera Control for Select Cameras at this time does not offer control of Nikon camera models.

Q: 10. does this work on Tilta nuclues Nano II?

A: Yes, the Kondor Blue D-Tap to USB-C Power Delivery Cable for Mirrorless Cameras would work with the Tilta Nano II motors.

[Raven Black] The specs show that the package is 4 long. Why I would care I don't know. The plate itself is very short, 1.95 / 50mm long. If you are planning to add a second screw and mount it in two places, you have exactly 1.37 / 35mm screw center to screw center to mount both. My smallrig universal large cage doesn't have screws that close together on the bottom. Worth measuring. 5

[Raven Black] This plate feels incredibly robust and has great selection of outputs. The hidden power button is a nice touch too to prevent accidentally powering it off mid shoot. 5

[Raven Black] I could be wrong about this, others are prone to disagree, but it gets complicated. This was purchased to complement the Kondor Blue 501 Adjustable Baseplate. Without this piece of nicely machined, symmetrical alloy, spring releases on both ends, there isn't a large flat surface on the Baseplate to attach directly to any other surface. The Dovetail fits nicely into the Baseplate. Dandy. With some platforms that might well be sufficient. However, most tripod heads and surface mounts have their own dovetail receptacle which require yet another dovetail plate. What you end up with is plates mounted back to back, or more accurately: front to front. Or am I missing something? One minor annoyance: my two plates front to front were not thick enough for the length of a standard ¼-20 camera attachment screw. The end of the screws impede the free sliding of the baseplate along the dovetail. Had to add a bit of spacer between the two dovetails. I know- clear as mud. But there you have it. 5

[Raven Black] The attention to detail is impressive and was pleased to find a 1/4-20 hole on the bottom of the grip! This is a wrist saver! 5

[0.665 lb] I got this and a simple hand grip over the shape one that costs hundreds, it works great. 5

David	27/07/2024
[0.665 lb] I am using this with an Atomos 5 monitor wrapped with a SmallRig cage, B&H #SMCMA2305B&H. It clamps onto the Nato rail built into the cage just fine, no need for an additional Nato rail mounted to the bottom of the cage. I attach the bottom end of the clamp to this SmallRig top handle #SM3765. I like the the ability to adjust the tension of the swivel mount (see Kondor Blue video). Gonna buy a second with a second monitor. 5

Avi	12/07/2024
[Raven Black] This is a huge improvement from the old Kondor Blue Battery Plate! Definitely worth the upgrade! 5

Jeff	03/07/2024
[0.665 lb] Solid build, no wiggle. Looks nice and provides the necessary mounting points and stability for a wide variety of scenarios. Works well with the VR lens too- everything is behind the lens, so no obstructions. 5

Jared	07/06/2024
[Raven Black] Excellent piece of hardware. My only criticism is that I wish it was quicker to attach and remove from a camera cage for rebuilds. But that might compromise it's integrity and am ok with that for now. 5

[0.665 lb] Works great for ninja V . The Allen key used to tighten the locks are the same size as the one built in to my small rig cage which is very convenient. There was an older version of this same mount that gets worse reviews this one is fantastic. 5
