Battery Innovation

Made to measure

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.

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.
