[Gold Mount] Have only been using it for the past week or so but was put though it's paces in the Canadian Rockies and worked like a charm. Was happy it fit so snugly. Solid construction.

[11 to 17 VDC ] Muy bueno, ya q tena dos baterias, no tube que comprar nada mas

[Gold Mount] Fits nice and snug to the camera body and works great. The Sony option is too expensive for what it gives you.

[0.36 lb] There seem to be a myriad of ways to power the FS7. You have the stock Sony batteries, V-Mount, the Sony extension unit, various plate options and this guy. It fits snugly to the camera and looks like it belongs on there. It is well designed and not too heavy. It would be nice if it was completely sealed from the elements, but you would really need to be in a sketchy environment to get anything into it- a small portion of the back is not sealed. The only downside is that it won't transmit time remaining on your battery to the camera as hours and minutes, It sends that info as volts, since it uses the DC input on the back of the camera for power.

[0.36 lb] Bought this after reading a few reviews about the Anton Bauer one I was going to get because people had problems with the Anton. This works great, plugged it in and bolted it on. I use my Anton Bauer Dionic batteries on it which helps with rear weight on the FS7. The Sony rear attachment was too expensive for me at the time so this works nice if you want to use gold mount batteries.

[Gold Mount] I've used this once so far on a commercial shoot and found it to be reliable and well made.


I Like the rigid mounting, something that's missing from the Wooden Camera model. I feel like this gives a better consistent feel when operating and held, and prevents shifting weight for Steadicam setups. It acts as an integral part of the camera.


I didn't have any issues with the power dropping out like the last reviewer because I had the FX9's included BP series battery installed. That allows for hot swaps and protects from batteries dropping out. Plus the Core Batteries and others usually have a power status that makes it too easy to monitor the remaining battery life. After three days of shooting the BP battery still had about 60% power.


And if your adventurous, you could easily have a machinist add a few Lemo/Brand-X power connectors on the side.

[Gold Mount] My tilta battery plate eventually stopped working (which is a pretty terrible thing to have happen when shooting). This still works from when I got it when it first came out. Word of warning--the lemo port on this will not work with a Tilta Lemo cable. The tilta cable got stuck, and would not come out. I ended up buying a second one of these because of that, and used a different lemo, so it all worked out in the end. Anyhow, I liked this better than my titla plate.

[Gold Mount] This is a well designed battery plate that does what it needs to do. The extra mounting points on the top are a nice touch. Adding two P-Tap outputs also gives the FX9 much needed functionality. The fit and finish is very solid and even with a heavy 160wH battery attached I get no wiggle at the mounting point. As noted by others the failure of the camera to read the voltage is a major disappointment but this is a Sony issue in my opinion and Core has done a great job with the 19v input situation given by Sony.
