SmallRig 5228 V-Mount Battery Mount Plate

SmallRig 5228 V-Mount Battery Mount Plate – D-Tap and USB-C power outputs for multi-device power distribution

The SmallRig 5228 converts non-powered V-mount rigs into a powered system that supports multiple devices and fast battery swaps. It is designed for use with rigs that lack a powered V-mount plate, including SmallRig models 4505, 4064, and 4063. The kit includes a V-mount battery plate and an LCD screen protector to protect and stabilise your camera setup.

Key features

• Multiple power outputs: The plate provides strategically positioned D-Tap and USB-C outputs so you can power several devices at once without obstructing the camera or top handle.
• USB-C PD input up to 65W: The USB-C port supports up to 65W PD input, allowing the plate to function as a V-mount battery charger when needed.
• Modular LCD screen protector: Tool-free height and width adjustment fits most flip-screen mirrorless cameras while protecting the screen from impacts.
• Secure battery release: The battery release button includes a trigger safety lever with customizable engagement to prevent accidental disengagement.
• Accessory-ready mounting: The plate features multiple 1/4"-20 threaded and locating holes, making it easy to attach accessories such as SmallRig magic arms for wireless transmitters and other professional setups.

Compatibility and use cases

Use the 5228 on rigs with non-powered V-mount plates to add V-mount battery capability and distribute power across multiple devices. It quickly mounts onto any V-mount compatible rig by using a V-mount adapter plate, enabling seamless V-mount battery attachment and on-set battery swaps. The LCD screen protector adjusts to protect flip-screen mirrorless cameras and supports workflows where the camera monitor needs shielding while remaining accessible.

Installation and operation

Install the V-mount battery plate using a V-mount adapter plate on your compatible rig. Then attach a V-mount battery to provide power immediately to the camera and accessories via the D-Tap and USB-C outputs. Adjust the modular LCD screen protector tool-free to match your camera’s flip screen dimensions. Finally, set the safety lever engagement on the battery release button so the battery stays securely locked during operation.
