It works grea, but that depends on the battery you are using
I use this with the Gemini 1x1 hard. That light draws a lot. I first tried this single plate with the batteries I had and it could not keep the light on at full power for long. So I returned it and bought the double plate. But for travel, the double takes more space, so after some research, I gave the single plate another change. You need a battery with high draw. The Anton Bauer 243w T batteries won't handle it, because they only go up to 12a, but the Core SWX 293 can reach 16a peak, so it can handle the light at full power just fine. I hear the Anton Bauer XT batteries can also handle it, because they have a high draw. Doesn't really matter the WH of the battery, that just determines for how long. Just make sure your batteries can go past 12a.
Works but....
So i just this 1x1 geminis and this battery plate with some IDX CUE-D150. The lights do power on however if you try turning the dimmer up to 100 or somewhere over 90 the light shuts off. no where is it mentioned to power a 1x1 at full power you need 2 of these with 2 batteries. i just got back from a shoot and i used the lights on a single battery and when i cranked it up to 100 the light would shut off. not cool when i have a client waiting on me. i read from another review this was this case for them with the gold mount battery plate. this is disappointing to me and i dont know if want to deal with these battery plates and extra batteries for my gemini lights.
