Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. What standard is the mounting screw built into the clamp? Is it a 1/4"-20 with regular Arri-Locating Pins? Or the SmallHD one?

A: The Tilta Gimbal Ring Adapter for Mini V-Mount Battery Plate uses a 3/8"-16 with arri locking pins.

Q: 2. Is this compatible with the Smallrig RC 220B light? About how long would it last?

A: You could use the SmallRig VB99 Mini V-Mount Battery (99Wh) to power the SmallRig RC 220B COB Bi-Color LED Video Light (2700-6500K), but it would be just meeting the minimum power requirements of the light. I would recommend considering a battery with higher output, such as the Nanlite 230Wh 26V V-Mount Li-Ion Battery (BH #NABTV26V230).

Q: 3. Does the USB-C PD output power the Sony FX3?

A: Yes, the USB-C PD on the Tilta PD V-Mount Battery Plate will be able to handshake with the Sony fx3 and power it

Q: 4. After charging, could this Dual Charger Power Kit be used instead of the Aputure 2-bay station to power an amaran 200x?

A: Unfortunately, the Watson Pro Dual Position Li-Ion Battery Charger (V-Mount) in the kit will not be able to supply enough power the Amaran 200x.

Q: 5. What size is the mounting hole on the side (not the mounting pin)?

A: The mounting hole is a 1/4" 20 size.

Q: 6. Can it power an Aputure 120D?

A: While the VB50 Mini V-Mount Battery could support the draw of the C120D, it would not be able to power it at full output for a very long time.

Q: 7. Can you please list the USB-C PD voltages and amperes this supports?

A: Regarding the Tilta PD V-Mount Battery Plate (Black), the USB-C PD produces 60W and Tilta does not list the amperage.

Q: 8. What is the maximum weight this clamp can support safely?

A: Exact weight limits have not been specified by the manufacturer. We would not recommend putting more than 1.5 or 2lb batteries on the clamp/plate, especially if mounted on the side of a gimbal handle.

Q: 9. Will this fit the Tilta Advance ring?

A: Yes, The Tilta advanced Ring is 30mm diameter and the Tilta Gimbal Ring Adapter for Mini V-Mount Battery Plate works with 25-30mm sizes.

Q: 10. Can you mount a cold shoe adapter on this ? I would like to put a mic shock-mount on my Basic Ring Plus.

A: Yes, you can mount a cold shoe mount to the Tilta Gimbal Ring Adapter for Mini V-Mount Battery Plate.

[0.38 lb] In Love with this! Specially with the bridge plate with Riser! 5

[Aluminum, Steel] 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

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

[Raven Black] It would seem that most of the reviews here are probably for the old design. The new one has set screws in back for retaining the tension. Loosen the two back set screws (tiny ones), then set the side bolts to the appropriate friction, tighten the back set screws and it holds. 5

[Aluminum, Steel] 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

[Raven Black] This inexpensive piece attaches via a 1/4 20” and saves you the need to hold that extra gear. Mounting the cold shoe plate to the side of your camera or gear cage is like having another arm, and saves you from a jumbled mess. For $10, this is a must have for folks who use cold shoe mounts daily. 5

[0.38 lb] 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

[0.38 lb] 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
