The only battery plates designed from the ground up for the Canon C400.
No retro-fitted universal or generic plates. Just a perfect fit.
With the smallest possible footprint, keep your camera compact without obscuring any of the buttons or I/O on the back of the camera.
2x
auxiliary outputs
up to
5A
each
Power UP
Independently-fused auxiliary outputs for your monitors, transmitters, follow focus motors and more.
No need for spare fuses. If it trips, simply remove the overcurrent and it will automatically reset as it cools.
The DTaps feature a shorter power pin, ensuring accessories remain grounded during connection and disconnection.
Replaceable
With interchangeable connectors, upgrade the DTaps for an optional 2-pin LEMO.
Want a different connector? Let us know and we’ll see what we can do.
Reversible
There always seems to be one DTap cable that points the wrong way, doesn’t there?
Rotate either aux output for the optimum orientation.
Simply unscrew the captive screws (1.5mm hex), lift out and rotate 180º in the direction of least resistance.
Recessed
Pack down with ease. With recessed auxiliary outputs, slide the top handle off without needing to remove the battery plate.
Hotswap
Keep your camera powered up during battery changes when using a Canon battery.
(BP-A60/A60N incompatible with Gold mount)
Low Mode
When not using Canon batteries, mount the plate on the lower screws for an even more streamlined build.
Low Profile XLR
In keeping with the compact philosophy, the connector doesn’t stick out and the cable doesn’t block the audio XLR ports.
Made with
British Engineering
Designed, machined and assembled from our humble workshop in Manchester, before being packed and shipped all around the world.
Tough Stuff
Milled from high-grade aluminium, anodised and secured with stainless steel hardware, the result is a lightweight and durable product ready to withstand the rigours of any production.
Premium components
We use only the highest quality components throughout, including genuine connectors from IDX and LEMO.
Love and care
Soldered and assembled by hand, plus every unit is fully tested prior to being packaged.
Up to 31% lighter
than the previous generation of Full Frame Camera Co. battery plates.
Both VMP400 and GMP400 weigh under 200g/7oz.
Alchemy
Transmute into gold and back!
Making the switch from one battery system to the other, or perhaps want the flexibility of having both V-mount and Gold mount on hand?
Swap out the front your battery plate in seconds with a conversion kit – it can even be done without removing from the camera.
Backwards Compatible
Use the new battery plates with the C300MKIII and C500MKII.
Can be mounted directly to the camera or in combination with our Vertical Offset Plate (VOP).
The mounting holes on the C400 are higher than on the C300MKIII/C500MKII.
Use the VOP on the previous cameras to raise the 400 Series battery plates and accommodate hotswapping with Canon batteries.
The VOP can also be used to lower the original Full Frame Camera Co. battery plates on the C400 for a more streamlined build – and still be able to hotswap with Canon batteries.
