Battery for HyperDeck

[davidhildreth]

We shoot Sony FS100 with a BM Hyperdeck. The integrated battery in the Hyperdeck is a real pain in the ass. I'm aware the legit solution is v-mount battery power for both, but for cost and weight considerations I'd rather try other options. This is a small kit, I should be able to get away with less. We also use a Sony LCD, so we have many Sony L and M series L-Ion batteries.

What would I need to mount Sony L or M batteries on the back of a cheese plate and run power to the HyperDeck? Can this be done?

Check out those solutions there. They are canon mount but they give you the idea of what you need. I know a lot of field monitors come with interchangeable battery plates

Those might work there.

Thanks. I've been looking at these options because they output 12v. Any experience with either?

Don't know what your draw is on the hyperdeck is, but I have been using a tekkeon for my audio bag and it is working fine. Variable voltage, usb output, monitoring, reasonable price, compact design.
