Question about Nanoflash and HDV camera

Dan Keaton · February 11th, 2011, 02:11 PM

Dear Simon,

Battery Cradles are just a physical and electrical mating device for a battery.

When one inserts a battery into a camera, the battery goes into a battery cradle.

Here is a link:

While VLC works, it does not show all of the quality of our footage.

If you can, check out our footage in Final Cut Pro. There is a world of difference or use another pro NLE.

Hi Dan,

Yeah - VLC is not perfect, but very handy.

When I saw my test footage in FCP for the first time there was a big difference. 100mbs was particularly vivid, and I was blown away by the smoothness of movement.

Thanks for that link. I think this is what I have been looking for! I have a load of BP-950 Canon batteries (7.4v), so if I was to buy this adapter (V NF adapter [V NF 7.2V] - $68.00 : Dolgin Engineering, Camera Power Solutions) and attach it to my accessory plate then I will be able to run the nanoflash using my canon batteries?

Dear Simon,

Yes.

Just be aware that the BP-950 batteries are relatively large, the battery adapter (cradle) has to be larger than the battery, so figure out how you are going to mount it.

Thanks Dan,

I'll contact Dolgin direct to work it out.

Cheers!
