Mounting Batteries
Connecting a third party battery plate lets you mount V-mount or gold mount batteries
Mounting V-mount or Gold Mount Batteries
You can easily mount industry standard V-mount or gold mount batteries to
Blackmagic URSA Broadcast.
To mount a battery, you’ll need to attach a Blackmagic V-mount battery plate, a third party
V-mount or gold mount battery plate to your camera’s plate mount.
You can purchase V-mount battery plates from Blackmagic Design resellers, or V-mount and
gold mount battery plates from suppliers of professional digital cinema and video equipment.
If you don’t have an off the shelf battery plate designed for Blackmagic URSA Broadcast and
you want to modify your own battery plate, then you can use the supplied adapter cable and
connector. Refer to the ‘using your own battery plate’ section for information about how any
battery plate can be modified to use with URSA Broadcast.
