Tilta Universal Battery Plate - V Mount

The Tilta Universal Battery Plate V-Mount is a universal battery plate that powers the camera and all its accessories from a single V-Mount battery: five 14.8 V P-Tap outputs, a two-pin LEMO and a three-pin Fischer output at 14.8 V, plus an SDI splitter with one input and two outputs. An articulating mount puts it on 15 mm rods at any angle. The camera connects with a model-specific P-Tap cable (not included).

The Tilta Universal Battery Plate V-Mount is a battery plate for a camera that has no V-Mount of its own — or has one, but needs more outputs. It sits on 15 mm rods, carries one V-Mount battery and distributes its power to the camera, monitor, video transmitter and other accessories. The same plate is also available in a Gold Mount version.

Five P-Tap outputs for camera and accessories

The side walls and bottom edge of the plate carry a total of five 14.8 V P-Tap outputs. One of them powers the camera — Tilta offers P-Tap cables for specific models (Canon C200/C300 Mk II, ARRI Alexa Mini, 5.5/2.1 and 5.5/2.5 mm DC connectors and more), sold separately. The remaining outputs feed a monitor, video transmitter or focus motors. Check the camera's input voltage before connecting it; overvoltage can damage it.

LEMO, Fischer and SDI splitter

The end face carries two more 14.8 V outputs — a two-pin LEMO and a three-pin Fischer — for accessories with matching connectors. On the side wall above the P-Tap outputs sit three SDI connectors: one input and two outputs, so the plate also works as a splitter of the camera's SDI signal to a monitor and a transmitter without another device in the rig.

Articulating mount for 15 mm rods

The plate mounts on 15 mm rods with an articulating holder with a toggle screw that lets it tilt to any angle — at the back of the rig it sits exactly where it balances the lens. The 15 mm rod adapter with four screws is included. The body is aluminium alloy with stainless steel, copper and ABS parts; the V-Mount takes any V-Mount battery.

Tilta power: V-Mount and Gold Mount

Tilta battery plates have one job: to bring power from a large V-Mount or Gold Mount battery to the camera and its accessories so that battery swaps are kept to a minimum. Every plate comes in both versions — V-Mount and Gold Mount (Anton Bauer) — and distributes power through P-Tap, USB-C and two-pin LEMO outputs, for which Tilta offers power cables for specific cameras, monitors and video transmitters. Plates for a specific body mount in the battery chamber or on the cage, universal plates on 15 mm rods. This part is one of them.
