V-Mount Battery Plates & Chargers

V-Mount battery plates are designed for cameras and equipment that accept V-Lock or V-Mount connections. Compatibility varies by camera brand and model. Block Battery also offers adapter solutions, such as the VMA-4XLR, which bridges Gold-Mount power systems to B-Mount and V-Mount cameras, expanding compatibility across RED, Arri, and other cinema camera platforms.

V-Mount (V-Lock) and Gold-Mount are two industry-standard battery mounting systems. V-Mount, developed by Sony, uses a V-shaped locking mechanism, while Gold-Mount, developed by Anton Bauer, uses a sliding rail system. Both are widely used in professional production, and adapter plates like the VMA-4XLR allow cross-compatibility between the two systems.

Yes, V-Mount batteries can power cinema cameras including RED, Arri Alexa, and others, typically via compatible battery plates or adapters. Block Battery's adapter solutions, such as the VMA-4XLR with 4-pin XLR output, are specifically designed to enable Gold-Mount power sources to work with B-Mount and V-Mount cinema camera systems.

Block Battery's power solutions support multiple voltage outputs including 14.4V, 24V, 28.8V, and 30V, accommodating a wide range of professional production equipment. This flexibility makes them suitable for cameras, lighting rigs, and other high-demand devices used in cinematic, ENG/EFP, and broadcast production environments.

Most V-Mount chargers are designed to work with standard V-Lock batteries, but compatibility can depend on the battery's cell chemistry, capacity, and communication protocol. It is important to match the charger's specifications to your battery's requirements. Block Battery provides technical support to help you select the correct charger for your specific battery system.
