MDV Base Mount Adaptor/Sony PMW EX1/Z1/Panasonic P2/Z7 on eBay, also, Other Professional Studio, Professional Studio, Consumer Electronics (end time 28-Sep-08 10:57:50 BST) (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/MDV-Base-Mount-Adaptor-Sony-PMW-EX1-Z1-Panasonic-P2-Z7_W0QQitemZ320269138950QQihZ011QQcategoryZ35006QQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp1742.m153.l1262)

It uses Sony NPF batteries and can power up the EX1 and video light at the same time. It will be mounted below the camera, the base of the adaptor also features a tripod mounting point. Costing 215 pounds, this is too expensive for me

Anyone used them before and care to comment.
