Powering fs700 with anton bauer batteries?

[kcn823]

Is anyone powering their fs700 with anton bauer batteries. I purchased the QR PD HDV adapter that anton bauer sells for other sony cameras, but after I received discovered it won't work on the fs700. The dealer I bought the camera and adapter from talked to anton bauer today and they said sony changed the battery compartment and it isn't compatible with the 700.

I'd like to power the camera using my anton bauer batteries because then I can us the p-tap for my evf and an external monitor if necessary. Plus the back weight will help with the balance.

Isn't the FGM-S the correct A/B Gold Mount for the FS100 and FS700?

I'll have to look into that. I'm not sure if it's any different from this adapter I bought that doesn't work.

I have a contact at AB I'll ask and hopefully that will work.

Believe I've been using FGM-S's on a pair of FS100's for a show. Also powers other accessories, monitors, etc.

Yes it's different because it's a completely different mount - a completely different product.

Can anyone confirm the FGM-S works on the 700?

There is a small tab on the FS700 that prevents you from using the Anton Bauer FGM-S. I am curious if I can just drill the FGM-S's dummy battery to make it work. The voltage is the same for the FS100 and Fs700.

I have some of the plugs for the 700, and I put them on AB 7.3v plates. I also have Idx plates that can power the 700 in stock at my store:
