I've been testing the AB back with a Dionic 90 tonight. So far it's been powered continuously for 5 hours and it looks like I still have 1/3rd battery charge left. Pretty sweet.

I know the IDX uses the Sony V-Mount/V-Lock system, what does the AB mount use? Anyone able to show me a photo of the AB adaptor without a battery attached?

Hey Martland,
So your battery will be basically the same size and shape of the stock one? When will it be available and how much?

Warren, in your viewfinder you see 14-16V of power, or 7.2 V with the AB adapter and Dionic battery?
I use a IDX, and I can see only 14-16V instead 7.2 V

7.2 Volts
 

I have posted pictures, with the AB adapter using Swit battries, the display shown is 7.2.

What's the price of a couple of Swit battries and a charger? I understand it mounts to an AB gold mount? How much doesn the mount sales for?

Funny, the IDX show 16V. I'll call IDX if this is normal

Mine shows 7.2 volts.

Swit
 

Swit battries 2 X 80 Watts with a dual charger I paid about
18 months back to the local dealer here in Dubai US 700/-
I hope that helps, no idea what is the cost now, called the dealer two days back, he did not have any in stock, but will get them in 10 days

I paid US $349 for the IDX adapter only.

Prices
 

The Swit battries as mentioned were bought 18 months back for the DVC Pro camera, pls check the links mentioned above.
I paid US 225/- plus shipping for the Anton Bauer Adapter, the Adapter came from a dealer in Singapore.

Can you buy these Swit batteries in the U.S or Europe? Google didn't turn up anything.

I just hooked up my gold mount and I see 15 volts in the viewfinder also. I am using an older AB ProFormer 30 watt battery. I also don't see any gauge that tells me how much battery I have left, not even with the stock battery. Unless I just have that turned off somewhere.

I don't see battery remaining in the viewfinder, just the voltage. When using the Gold Mount, I think it's supposed to be converting the 14 V to 7.2 V so I'm surprised you'd see something else.

A photo will up-loaded to our website shortly
