95Wh Gold Mount Battery with D-Tap

Gold Mount batteries are compatible with a wide range of professional cameras and rigs that feature Anton Bauer Gold Mount (three-stud) plates. This includes cameras and camera systems from manufacturers such as Sony, RED, and Canon. Block Battery's Protean also supports Gold Mount Plus (28V) configurations, expanding compatibility further to higher-powered cinema cameras.

Yes, provided the battery's capacity is under 100Wh, it can typically be taken in carry-on luggage without airline approval. Batteries between 100–160Wh require airline approval. Block Battery's Protean (150Wh) can be split into two isolated 75Wh units, making each unit carry-on compliant without special approval under most airline regulations.

The D-Tap port on a Gold Mount battery can power a wide range of production accessories including on-camera monitors, wireless transmission systems, lens motors, follow focus controllers, LED panels, and small lighting fixtures. The D-Tap typically outputs 12V DC and is rated for loads up to 150 watts depending on the battery model.

Runtime depends on the camera's power draw. A professional cinema or broadcast camera typically draws 20–50 watts, so a 95Wh battery provides approximately 2–4 hours of on-camera use. When powering additional accessories via D-Tap simultaneously, runtime decreases proportionally. Always factor in accessory loads when planning battery inventory for a shoot.

A 14V Gold Mount battery powers standard professional cameras and accessories operating at 14.4V nominal voltage. A 28V (Gold Mount Plus) configuration delivers approximately 26V on-camera, designed for higher-powered cinema cameras and accessories requiring dual-voltage input. Block Battery's Protean allows users to switch between both modes in a single unit, reducing battery inventory on set.
