The Kondor Blue KB-CineVMP-Bk is a professional V-Mount battery plate designed to integrate a standard V-Mount or Gold-Mount lithium-ion battery into a 15mm rod-based camera rig. This component serves as the central power distribution hub, securely mounting a high-capacity battery onto the rear or bottom of a cage system and providing regulated DC power outputs to the camera and other accessories. It is engineered for cinematographers and videographers using DSLR, mirrorless, or cinema cameras rigged on 15mm rods, offering a robust and organized solution for powering an entire camera setup—including the camera, monitor, wireless audio receiver, and onboard light—from a single, swappable battery source.

The plate features a sturdy V-Mount clamp mechanism that securely locks the battery in place, along with an integrated 15mm rod clamp that attaches directly to the rods of a camera cage or shoulder rig. It provides multiple output ports, typically including a high-current D-Tap (P-Tap) connector, a regulated 7.2V/14.4V output (often via a Hirose or Lemo connector), and one or more USB ports for powering smaller devices. A clear voltage/charge status display is standard, allowing the user to monitor battery health at a glance. The construction utilizes durable, CNC-machined aluminum to ensure reliability under the weight of the battery and the stresses of professional use.

By consolidating power distribution and mounting into a single, streamlined unit, the KB-CineVMP-Bk eliminates cable clutter and simplifies the rigging process. It extends shooting time dramatically compared to internal camera batteries and enables hot-swapping of batteries for continuous operation. This makes it an essential component for any professional camera rig requiring reliable, high-capacity, and accessible power in the field.
