This is a dual battery plate kit for Sony BP-U30 and BP-U60 batteries for use on EX3-SHOULDER or EX1/EX1R shoulder kit, using the pivoting back plate option. The standard version includes approximately 45cm / 1.5 feet of cord with a right angle power connector for the Sony EX series cameras on any other setup.
This allows the user to add battery life while retaining their existing investment in their BP-U batteries. The batteries are protected from each other with circuit protection, and provided one mounted battery has charge, the other battery can be swapped while the camera is operating.
Counting a battery in the camera, this allows three batteries to power an EX1, EX1R or EX3, nearly tripling the run time without this battery plate.
Compatible with pivoting back plates shipped from DM-Accessories after April 12, 2010. This product also has 1/4"-20 tripod mounting holes. No other products are known to be compatible with this plate, however, custom modifications might be made on request.
For your convenience, if this product is ordered with a shoulder kit including a pivoting plate, the order will ship with the battery plate preinstalled to the pivoting plate, unless otherwise requested by email or phone.
