Re: Mini v-mounts—batteries vs. plates

I am using the fxlion nano series v-mount batteries, also usb-c pd compatible both directions, my main reason to use them.

I mount them onto a FX6 specific backplate because the FX6 needs the v-mount voltage converted. For filming with the A1 I use a clamp on my tripod and smallrig 2801 mini v-mount just too keep the battery in place. For walking around there are belt-clips too.

All this is because I want to stay lightweight - no 15mm rods on my rig, not needed I have autofocus and auto-nd in my camera Not sure what your rig goals are, if you have 15mm rods anyways for follow focus and stuff you might as well use a full v-mount plate.
