CINEGEARS 6-218 Overview

The CINEGEARS Compact D-Tap Power Distributor allows you to run power from a D-Tap power source to multiple devices used on your camera rig, such as transmitters and powered lens controls. Palm-sized, it's very compact, hence the name. Via a single D-Tap connector on an integrated cable, it delivers power to four onboard D-Tap outputs, two USB outputs, and a universal 3.5mm AUX power supply barrel connector. The distributor also stabilizes the power current and provides built-in surge protection, allowing for a safe powered workflow. At the press of a button, you can check the power of your D-Tap source via a voltage indicator.

The power output pins on the internal board are gold-plated so they function as better conductors of power. The board is also thicker than standard boards, and the distributor is also resistant to heat, which prevents the melting of the board, ensuring you can work safely without unnecessary interruptions.

The Compact D-Tap Power Distributor is designed to be mounted on your rig. It comes with a hook-and-loop fastener strap that allows you to secure it to various components of your rig, and it also includes a clamp adapter that lets you mount the distributor to 15 and 19mm rods. The clamp adapter screws directly onto the back of the power distributor with included screws.

The USB ports can be used to power select lights and other devicesm, as well as charge your phone or tablet. The 3.5mm AUX port lets you connect various power cables with the power connectors of your choice, such as XLR.

CINEGEARS 6-218 Reviews

Excellent near perfect product

The male power feed cable is longer than the typical 1x4 P-tap splitters that are available which is a welcome feature. The product is well built and nearly perfect. I have a couple of observations which are minor. The strap loops on the back aren't useful for me, would have rather just had a flat surface or one that had hard velcro pre-installed and the loops sort of prohibit velcro from working well. When using 12V systems, the power indicator flashes continuously, so just keep in mind that really deigned for 14V systems. When swinging batteries, by default the power / USB system is off and requires one to always turn it back on if needed, would have been more useful for it to remain on or make the power button just a temporary battery check.

What is the current that is output through the four D-tap connectors?
Asked by: Hannes
The power output of the CINEGEARS Compact D-Tap Power Distributor is based on what power you input. For example If it is plugged into a D-Tap battery, and the battery D-Tap output is 14.8V, it would support up to 14A Draw, the power distributor will out put 14.8V, and14A Draw.
