    Power Zoom H4N from Sony Batteries

    I'm trying to figure out if there is a plate I can buy that will let me power my Zoom H4N via Sony L series batteries. Does anyone know?

    Is this the sort of thing you need? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Blackmagic...item565a098a1d

    or this: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Ikan-BP2T-...item2583129fcb

    V-Lok could be a more flexible system way to go too: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Lanparte-B...item4abfc032c5

        I didn't find any exact solution. Perhaps because of the voltage problem. Sony L-series batteries are 7.2 volts, and the Zoom H4N wants 5 volts. It might be possible to make a "LDO" (low drop out) voltage regulator to get 5 volts from a 7.2 volt source, but it wouldn't be very efficient, especially with those expensive Sony batteries (vs. common AA cells).
        And, yes, there battery plates available for Sony L-series, but they put out the 7.2 volts from the battery, and like most Sony accessories, they come at a premium price.

          Thanks, I guess it's going to have to be one of those cheapo cell phone packs after all.
