DTAP connector does not fit DTAP on v-lock batteries

[Polaroid22]

Hello,

I am having a strange issue, I have a lanparte DTAP cable but it does not fit on my DTAP connector on my V-lock batteries (tried 2 brands). If I plug the cable on the PTAP on my DJI ronin then it fits just fine. Anybody know what the issue is and how to solve it.

Kind regards,

My guess: Unlicensed(read: knock-off) connectors and ports probably just out of spec a little on both sides(male and female) and they don't fit. My p-tap cables are really tight on my CoreSWX batteries, but fit much easier into actual A/B p-tap connectors.

I have a few power u brand v mount batteries. Had the same problem. I took an xacto knife and shaved away some of the plastic on the sides so they would fit.

I just ran into that same issue with some cables I ordered. I ended up replacing the pins which were very slightly too wide. There are often tolerance issues with 3rd party accessories like connectors, iris rods, rod blocks, etc.
