SHAPE VBC70 Overview

Power your Canon C70 cinema camera, lights, or accessories with the Pivoting Battery Plate for Canon C70 from SHAPE. The durable aluminum plate enables you to use a high-capacity V-mount battery to power your camera, and it features a pivoting design that maintains easy access to the back of your camera for access to the battery slot.

The plate requires the addition of a SHAPE FC70TP (not included) to the top of your C70 camera. You mount the pivoting plate onto the FC70TP and this provides a secure attachment for powering your camera with a professional V-mount battery. Pressing the push button allows you to tilt the plate and reveal the C70's integrated battery slot. An included coiled D-Tap-to-barrel connector cable expands from 10 to 24" and provides power to your C70 camera. The battery plate allows you to utilize hot swapping with a battery in your camera's built-in battery slot for uninterrupted power. The D-Tap output features a digital fuse to protect your gear and provides 12 to 17 VDC, 50W power to the camera or accessories. The plate features several 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 accessory threads for mounting or for accessories.
