Fits perfectly on my Mini LF. No wiggle. Great connection.

Works Great

Works great - the bottom PTAP port isn't wired, but that is a known thing with this model. It isn't really a problem as my wooden camera backplate for my camera has another port as well and this one has a working Ptap port on the top as well.

See any errors on this page?

will this mount work and communicate with Anton ...

will this mount work and communicate with Anton Bauer batteries?
Asked by: Nathanael
Some customers have reported that the Core SWX Gold Mount Hot Swap/Shark Fin Battery Plate does work with Anton Bauer batteries, so we believe they are compatible.

question

Is the dual battery plate centered horizontally?
Asked by: Matteo
Yes. The only issue I had was it was a little loose at the Gold Mount connection. Built up some gaff tape between the two pieces and it works great.
