SmallRig 5881 smart V-Mount battery adapter plate with 15mm dual rod clamp

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

Smart dual-mode power management: this battery plate is equipped with smart power logic with two operating modes: Combined discharge mode allows several V-Mount batteries to be used at the same time, significantly extending total runtime. Sequential discharge mode drains the batteries one after another, simplifying battery cycle management. A quick double press of the side button switches between the modes, providing an optimal power strategy for both long recording sessions and multi-battery workflows.

Multi-port input and true hot swap for continuous runtime: the unit integrates 4 D-Tap and 1 BP input ports, compatible with the most popular V-Mount batteries. The BP port serves as a backup input. When used with the included D-Tap to D-Tap cable to connect other inputs, the system maintains stable output of up to 100W, allowing you to safely remove depleted batteries and replace them with fresh ones without interrupting power. The top digital display clearly shows the status of all five inputs (1-4 D-Tap, 5 BP), making the swapping process intuitive and providing true hot swap for continuous shooting.

Powerful and stable multi-device output: to power multiple devices, including monitors, video transmitters, cinema cameras and lights, the mounting plate provides 3 D-Tap and 1 BP output ports, each capable of delivering up to 100W of constant power. A built-in 12V auxiliary switching circuit provides stable 15V output, keeping critical downstream equipment running even when the input voltage is low. In addition, the bidirectional USB-C port on the side supports up to 65W for both input and output, letting you quickly charge the plate itself or provide emergency power for phones, tablets or cameras.

Compact design and easy expansion for different shooting scenarios: with SmallRig's precision engineering, this plate is compact and lightweight, yet highly versatile. The standard 1/4" threaded hole on the bottom works with the included 15mm dual rod clamp, which allows fine side adjustments to suit different V-Mount battery sizes and to optimise the placement of the screen guard bracket. It integrates easily into 15mm rod systems for seamless accessory expansion. The included screen guard bracket offers reliable protection and can be detached when needed.

Build a professional continuous power system: this V-Mount battery plate works seamlessly with other SmallRig accessories, such as the wireless connection hub for cameras (5566) and the rotatable V-Mount battery plate with dual V-Lock and 15mm dual rod clamp (6273), to create a reliable power system for demanding scenarios such as remote outdoor or unattended shooting. For additional configuration needs, consider the SmallRig Smart Power Management V-Mount Battery Adapter Plate (Basic Edition) (5653) or the SmallRig Smart Power Management V-Mount Battery Plate compatible with the Arca-Swiss quick release plate (5899).

Compatibility: Universal standard V-Mount batteries, standard D-Tap interfaces, standard BP interfaces, standard 15mm LWS rods. Each D-Tap and BP output port supports a maximum of 100W. Exceeding this limit triggers a warning light and automatic output shut-off.

Caution: at a continuous 100W load, the temperature of the outer casing may exceed comfortable touch levels.
