SmallRig 5536 Adapter Plate for NP-F Type Batteries – Supports UPS and Hot-Swap Power
The SmallRig 5536 adapter plate provides continuous power for mirrorless cameras, monitors, and other gear that use NP-F series batteries. It accepts one or two NP-F batteries and supports a hot-swap UPS workflow when two batteries are installed, so you can replace a battery without shutting down connected devices.
Key features
- Mounting flexibility: attach the plate using a V-mount plate or the bottom 1/4"-20 threaded holes.
- One or two NP-F batteries accepted for modular power and extended runtime.
- Hot-swap UPS support: with two batteries installed, replace one battery without interrupting power to connected devices.
- Multiple output ports: D-Tap, DC and USB-C outputs let you power several devices at the same time.
- Port placement designed to avoid interference with camera operation and top handles.
- USB-C input supports up to 36W, enabling the plate to act as a charging dock.
Intelligent battery management
The adapter plate includes an integrated intelligent management chip that optimizes both discharging and charging to improve efficiency and usability.
- Discharging behavior:
- The plate draws from the battery with the lower charge first.
- When voltage drops, it switches to parallel output to enable hot-swaps and to power high-demand devices.
- Charging behavior:
- The plate prioritizes charging the battery with the higher state of charge initially.
- After that, it switches to simultaneous charging of both batteries to improve charging efficiency.
Controls and indicators
SmallRig designed simple, on-device controls to make operation quick and clear.
- Independent power switch: press once to check power status and activate output.
- Long press (2 seconds) disables output for all connected devices, so you do not need to unplug cables after use.
- Independent LED indicators for each channel provide clear, at-a-glance battery status updates.

FAQ
Question: Can I replace a battery without powering down my camera? Answer: Yes. When you install two NP-F batteries the plate supports hot-swap UPS, allowing you to replace one battery without shutting down connected devices.
Question: Can I charge the batteries through the adapter? Answer: Yes. The USB-C port supports up to 36W of input, which lets the plate act as a charging dock for the installed batteries.
Question: How do I mount the adapter to my rig? Answer: You can mount the plate using a V-mount plate or attach it via the bottom 1/4"-20 threaded holes, depending on your setup.
Question: Will the outputs block my camera controls or handles? Answer: The output ports are strategically placed to avoid interference with camera operation and the use of top handles, so they are positioned to minimize obstruction.
