Onsite D-Tap Battery with V-Mount

The Protean battery with V-Mount (14V configuration) outputs 14 volts and supports loads from 0 to 150 watts. It can also be configured in 28V modes using other mount styles, giving productions maximum flexibility across different camera and accessory voltage requirements.

The Protean offers 150 Watt Hours of total capacity in a single compact battery. When configured for air travel compliance, it splits into two electrically and mechanically isolated 75Whr units, each meeting carry-on and shipping regulations for lithium batteries set by aviation authorities.

Yes. The Protean is designed to be travel-ready. It can be reconfigured into two mechanically and electrically isolated 75Whr batteries, which fall below the 100Wh per-unit threshold required for standard carry-on and shipping compliance for lithium batteries on commercial flights.

A D-Tap V-Mount battery like the Protean can power on-camera monitors, wireless video systems, follow focus motors, LED lighting panels, and other accessories rated up to 150 watts. The 14V D-Tap output is compatible with the vast majority of standard production accessories used on professional film and broadcast sets.

The Protean supports four mount configurations: 14G (Gold Mount / Three Stud at 14V), 28G (Gold Mount Plus at 28V for on-camera use), 28B (B-Mount style at 28V), and 14V (V-Lock style at 14V with D-Tap). This five-in-one design eliminates the need to carry multiple separate batteries for different equipment.

The Protean is designed for professional cinema and broadcast cameras including the ARRI Alexa, Phantom, Red, and Sony CineAlta lines. Its multiple mount configurations — Gold Mount, Gold Mount Plus, B-Mount, and V-Lock — allow it to integrate directly with a broad range of professional production camera systems.

The Protean is suited for a wide range of professional production environments, including cinematic and feature film production, ENG/EFP field video production, professional broadcast (both live and studio), and lighting production. It reliably powers cinema cameras, lighting rigs, and accessories rated up to 150W across all of these use cases.
