Power adapter for SmallHD monitors

This D-Tap to Sony L-Series faux battery cable lets you run a SmallHD monitor from any professional D-Tap power source. It replaces the monitor's internal battery with a direct connection to external power. The adapter is built for camera operators who need uninterrupted runtime during long takes or multi-day shoots. Its compact form factor keeps rigs lightweight and balanced.

Sony L-Series faux battery form factor

The connector mimics a Sony NP-F style battery so it slides straight into the monitor's battery slot without modification. This mechanical match is the single specification that determines whether the cable fits your specific monitor model. No other battery plate or voltage standard is supported by this adapter. Verify your monitor accepts Sony L-Series batteries before purchasing.

Enables continuous external power

By drawing from a D-Tap source such as a V-mount block, gold-mount battery or AC mains supply, the cable removes the capacity limit of small on-camera batteries. Operators can hot-swap large capacity packs without powering down the monitor. The rugged cable assembly resists strain from repeated connection cycles on set.

Questions about this item

How does the D-Tap connection translate into run-time for a SmallHD monitor?

The cable passes power from any D-Tap source directly into the monitor's Sony L-Series battery slot, so run-time is determined entirely by the capacity of the external battery or brick you attach.

What does the D-Tap interface limit in practice?

The adapter simply converts the D-Tap plug to a faux L-Series battery shape; it does not regulate voltage or current, so the connected monitor receives whatever the D-Tap source supplies.

What physical space does the faux battery end need inside the monitor?

The faux battery end mirrors the exact dimensions of a standard Sony NP-F/L-Series battery, so it fits any SmallHD monitor that accepts that battery form factor.
