Here are the details and photos of how i am powering my Panasonic HVX off my Pilot Sled.
Its a frezzi product. Made for the Frezzi Stable Cam shoulder mount to go from the VLock/AB mount on the back to the DV camera your supporting. I've just cut the ends off and soldered on the correct plugs. I've got around 8v coming out the end.
You can buy it from here - Frezzolini | 99106 PC-P2 Adapter Cable | 99106 | B&H Photo Video (http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/554476-REG/Frezzolini_99106_99106_PC_P2_Adapter_Cable.html)
Mine looks different, however they have the same model number so maybe frezzi redesigned them, Theres also one on there for the Z1, DVX, and a couple other cameras. All you'd need to do is cut off the end that normally plugs into the Stable Cam, solder on a new 2.1mm positive center connector to plug into the pilot sled and away you go. I hacked off both of my ends because mine was originally for a PD170.
See attached photos. You can see with my sled that because i've got a QR plate on there there is a nice little spot inbetween the camera and the top of the stage to gaff it in.
I've only just finished this addition.. time to completely rebalance the sled! its so out due to the missing weight of the battery.
