Gold Mount battery plate for LS300
 
Is anyone powering the LS300 with Gold Mount batteries? I'd like to use my Gold Mount batteries so I have only one battery for the camera, EVF, external monitor, and wireless follow focus, but am unable to find a battery plate that either has an adapter for the battery contacts on the camera or a cable to the DC port. Even a d-tap to DC cable would work. Does anyone know where I can get one? Thanks for your help.

Not sure if you needed this info anymore, but I use this:

Lanparte ABP-01 Gold-Mount Battery Pinch

https://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/con...C&Q=&A=details

It's great, and mine (at the time) came with a bunch of different cables for all sorts of different power needs. Different places have better/different prices/combos so I'd shop around.

Thanks for that. I saw that plate on there before. Is that 15mm rod clamp removable? It looks like it's going in the wrong direction. I'd want to mount the whole thing to a cheeseplate that I have a 15mm rod clamp attached to, then have it mounted on the rig vertically instead of horizontally like they have their clamp configured. So I guess I'd need it to have some 1/4-20 threads on the back too so I can mount to my cheese plate. Possible? Thanks!

You know, I don't know if it is removable. But I've been able to mount it in several different configurations with some basic rails. Like quick releases, cheese plates and I have a difficult relationship, so I'm afraid I can't be of much help as I'd like to be there.

(I will mention that the Lanparte mount can be swiveled.)

Ok thanks. I'll check it out and if it won't work for me I'll return it.

from the photos it looks like the clamp is part of the plate
i'm curious how you would power the ls300 from this plate? would you use the 7.4v output?

Which is weird because if you look at all the pictures, there are some that make it appear as the mount is in another direction. Can it pivot or be removed and put back on in the other direction? Or is there 2 versions of the same mount?

Did anyone get this plate? Any more info as i might be interested to get one?

In the meantime, just in case you haven't come across this video in your research, it offers a good look at the plate:

Based on what I see in the photos, the rod mounts appear to be designed to pivot 180-degrees.
