Core SWX Powerbase EDGE Overview

This Core SWX Powerbase EDGE Bundle includes the Powerbase EDGE V-mount battery, an L-series dummy battery power cable, and a D-Tap wall charger. Connect the cable into the 8.4 VDC output on the battery and power various cameras that use a Sony L-series battery.

Core SWX Powerbase EDGE V-Mount Battery

Keep your power-hungry cameras and production gear operating for long shoots with this high-capacity Powerbase EDGE V-Mount Battery from Core SWX. This follow-up to the popular Powerbase 70 lithium-ion battery features a 14.8V, 47Wh capacity and 8A continuous draw to power your gear for up to 8.25 hours (e.g. a small DSLR/mirrorless camera) on a full charge. In addition to the V-mount, which allows it to be used with all cameras and gear supporting a V-mount battery, the Powerbase EDGE has a 7.4V regulated DC barrel output, two 14 VDC D-Tap outputs, and two 5 VDC USB ports. One of the D-Tap outputs is classified as "SmartTap", which allows you to pass the battery data to your camera.

Using a compatible, separately available Powerbase EDGE power cable or dummy battery, you can connect the battery to most mirrorless and DSLR cameras via the regulated 7.4 VDC output. The SmartTap output, which is a Core SWX innovation, is a standard D-Tap connection with additional contacts inside that communicate SMBUS/smart battery data to compatible cameras. You can use the SmartTap and D-Tap ports to simultaneously provide 12 VDC power to a camera using optional D-Tap cables, as well as to power an accessory.

The USB ports can be used simultaneously with any of the other power options to power small 5 VDC accessories such as mobile devices. The battery can be charged in standard Core SWX V-mount chargers, and either D-Tap port also functions as a charging port and supports Core SWX D-Tap chargers. The battery also features a "storage mode" that allows you to deplete the battery quickly for safe travel.

The Powerbase EDGE has an LCD on the side that provides runtime in minutes, and it's easy to read in dark environments using its button-activated backlight. Like the Powerbase 70, the Powerbase EDGE comes with a small quick release adapter that provides a convenient way of attaching the battery to cheese plates and other camera supports. It secures onto the middle of the battery and provides a 1/4"-20 mounting screw. This allows you to mount the battery directly onto the bottom of your camera, or it can mount onto a battery slide or cage.

Would the Lamparte d-tap to barrel 12v regulated ...

Would the Lamparte d-tap to barrel 12v regulated constant power cable power the Feelworld FW279 ultra bright field monitor? Or what d-tap cable should I use?
Asked by: Matthew
I can't say 100%, but it acts as a normal d-tap, so all signs point to yes.

(full small rig ), can you attach a quick release on bottom. then attach this. has anyone tried quick release;;3 Legged Thing Switch Clamp v2, thanks?
Asked by: Chris
The Power Base Edge comes with its own quick release system. However, you could mount another quick release adapter (Such as Really Right Stuff B2-LR-II Lever-Release Clamp, an arca style) to it if you prefer to use a different style plate.

Can you use this to power an Ursa Mini Pro 4.6K G2?
Asked by: Jared
Yes, the Core SWX Powerbase EDGE Battery and D-Tap Cable Kit for Blackmagic Pocket Camera 4K would work to power an URSA Mini Pro 4.6K G2. When used as a V-mount battery, please make sure that you have the following V-mount adapter/plate for your camera: the Blackmagic Design V-Mount Battery Plate for URSA (B&H # BLUVLBP).

How long will this power the BM4K?
Asked by: Robert
When you fully charge it and power up the P4k, the display typically reads just over 3hrs. Actual use is just lower than this - I would estimate 2.5 - 3hrs. I've never gone through two batteries on a full day shoot.
