Batteries for XDCam EX
I heard from a little birdy, that this camera will not be a 7.2 volt camera thus unable to use the same Sony battery at the Z1U. Anyone else heard anything on this topic??

haven't heard anything but from the pics I've seen it certainly looks like the battery is the same as the other small form factor Sony use. That would be a nice thing - I'm sure we ALL have a bunch of them not to mention the much more pleasing price point.
Time will tell. Don |

I have been told from my dealer who went to NAB (and Sydney) that it was a different series battery. Not compatable with our NP's.

If what you say Vaughn holds true that's going to hurt my pockets getting this cam ready for contracted events I have scheduled :(

Even if it is the L-series battery, it would have to be a new model; the V1 is rated 6.8W and the EX is 10W - with the 970, it'd mean to max working time of the EX wold not be long enough!

Extras!
See they've also got the cards listed as an option.
No price listed yet though! Vaughan |

I'll just bet that they have to have a new charger as well ;-(

A very interesting concept - 14.4V for a handheld camera. It's a pity that Sony do not seem to have included a D-Tap to power an attached fill-in light (like PAG or Anton Bauer) directly off the camera battery just like the shoulder mounted cameras. I hate having battery belts or dangling batteries over my shoulder. I was already thinking of buying Hawk-Woods innovative DV battery system and power converter (http://www.hawkwoods.com/) to power up a 12V lamp from a 8.4V battery but now I have to re-think everything.
Does anybody know how to adapt this small factor form battery to power an additional light? Some of the V-mount or snap on type of batteries have a D-Tap connector for such use. Is there any connector that attaches to a BP-U60 and ends up with a female D-Tap? Brian |

Here Here
The power tap idea is a great one. I really hate all the cords I need to connect the light to a belt pack as well. I would rather use the "tap"
I can't glide with the light on as it stands now. The Sony led light looks HUGE. Mike |

Mike I'm thinking of buying something like the Hawk-Woods VL-CA2X - http://www.hawkwoods.com/ - I can use the existing V-lock batteries that I have and I can power a 35watt lamp from the power-con (D-Tap) and also give power to the the camera if needs be from the Hirose output. The only problem is finding a way how to attach this unit to the underside of the camera - possibly using the tripod mount screw. By this way the extra added weight of the battery would be positioned underneath the camera.

Thanks Brian
I have seen something similar but not this brand. I need to keep the weight to a reasonable amount or my arm will fall off :)
Sorry to highjack the thread a little but what light do you use with this system? I really like the idea. Mike |
