SmallRig 5881 Intelligent V-Mount Battery Adapter Plate with 15mm Dual Rod Clamp

SmallRig 5881 V-Mount Battery Adapter Plate with Intelligent Power Management

SmallRig 5881 V-Mount battery adapter plate is an innovative solution for filmmakers seeking reliable power supply during long recordings. With its intelligent power management and the ability to handle multiple batteries, this product is perfect for both professional and amateur filmmakers who want to maximize their recording time without interruptions.

Intelligent Power Management with Two Operating Modes

This battery plate features a smart design that offers two operating modes to optimize energy usage. In the combined discharge mode, multiple V-mount batteries can be used simultaneously, significantly extending the total runtime. Alternatively, in the sequential discharge mode, the batteries are used one after another, making it easier to manage battery cycles. By quickly double-tapping the side button, the user can easily switch between these modes, providing an optimal power strategy for longer recordings and workflows with multiple batteries.

Multiple Inputs and True Hot-Swap

SmallRig 5881 is equipped with four D-Tap ports and one BP input, making it compatible with most V-mount batteries. The BP port serves as a backup input, ensuring that the system can maintain a stable output of up to 100 W. This allows for the safe removal of depleted batteries and replacement with new ones without interrupting power. The clear digital display shows the status of all inputs, making it easy to swap batteries and ensuring true hot-swapping for uninterrupted recording.

Stable Output for Multiple Devices

To power multiple devices, such as monitors, video transmitters, film cameras, and lighting, this mounting plate has three D-Tap outputs and one BP output, each capable of delivering up to 100 W of constant power. The built-in 12 V switching circuit ensures a stable 15 V output, which is crucial for keeping critical power equipment running even at low input voltage. Additionally, a bidirectional USB-C port on the side provides up to 65 W for both input and output, allowing for fast charging of the plate as well as emergency power to phones, tablets, or cameras.

Compact Design and Easy Expansion

With SmallRig's precision and compact design, this battery plate is easy to handle and highly versatile. It features a standard 1/4-inch threaded hole on the bottom that fits the included 15 mm clamp for dual rods. This allows for adjustments of side lights to accommodate different sizes of V-mount batteries and optimizes the placement of the monitor mount. This functionality makes it easy to integrate the plate into 15 mm rod systems for flexible expansion with various accessories. The included monitor mount also offers protection and can be removed if needed.

Building a Professional Power System

SmallRig 5881 V-Mount battery plate is ideal for creating a reliable power system when used with other SmallRig accessories, such as the Wireless Tethering Hub for Cameras (5566) and Rotatable V-Mount Battery Plate with Dual V-Locks and 15mm Dual Rod Clamp (6273). This makes it perfect for demanding recording scenarios, including remote outdoor shoots or unattended recordings. For additional configuration needs, you may also consider the SmallRig Intelligent Power Management V-Mount Battery Adapter Plate (Basic Edition) (5653).
