Up for sale is my Lanparte V-mount battery Pinch and Splitter, also including a Lanparte VB-150 V-mount battery and DC Power Supply cable for the Blackmagic Pocket Camera.
I purchased this directly from Lanparte about a month ago. The unit is brand new and have never seen any real world use. It has only been mounted on different rig configurations for testing. I am now selling it because I am moving to a Canon C100 and no longer have a need for this. It is a nice solution with many outputs, built in HDMI-splitter (never tested this one), and built in battery charger. The D-Tap out is 16.4V when the battery is fully charged, and drops slightly as it drains.
There is one, in my mind, major design flaw with this product. And that is the rod mount clamp. It is very difficult to securely mount the pinch in the vertical position with the rods on the bottom. It will easily come loose once you want to take off the battery. I tried fastening it tight using some pliers, but did not have so good results with that. A solution to this I was thinking of would be to purchase a cheese plate like this one http://www.coollcd.com/cool-cheese-plate-v4-multipurpose-mounting-plate_p1093.html to replace the original rod clamp and add extra support. Note that I never got around to actually do this, but I can tell that some slight modifications are required. Another option that I've found works better is if you remove the thumb screws and rotate the rod clamp 180 degrees so the side with the logo faces towards the battery, that way the pinch has something to rest against.
Mounting it in the horizontal position resting on the rods is not a problem however.
Please note the scratches on the thumbscrews for the rod clamp. This is from when I attempted tightening the pinch securely in the vertical position using pliers. More info on that above.
What you see is what you get.
