MOVIECAM COMPACT Mk2
9 – THE MOVIECAM POWER SUPPLY
Caution!
Do not overstretch the Camera Cable!
As the voltage may drop up to 1 V per cable length
(depending on the power consumption of the camera),
do not use a longer cable. The Camera Cable
[a]
can
be easily plugged into the sloped connector
[19]
.
The leverage caused by connector length and cable
weight resp. strain might damage the socket attachment.
Therefore it is recommended to protect it against tensi-
on, e.g. by attaching the cable at the fluid or geared
head.
Secure the Camera Cable to a HANDGRIP when the
Mk2 is operated handheld or on a portable support like
a Steadicam®.
AVS/ADJUSTABLE VOLTAGE STABILIZER
The MOVIECAM Adjustable Voltage Stabilizer DC-DC
