SOONWELL V-Mount Plate Power Supply with LP-E6 Dummy Battery 15mm Rod Bracket for DSLR RED Cameras,Camcorders, Monitors

BEWARE! NOT a Direct Replacement for LP-E6 Battery!
I gave this two stars because the mount is fairly sturdy and seems to be decent quality, but the LP-E6 adapter (DR-E6) that comes with this is NOT a direct replacement of the LP-E6. I bought this package specifically for the LP-E6 adapter. See the photo I included. The battery has two grooves, one on each side, the adapter has a groove only on one side. The battery has a square hole at the top for a locking lug, the adapter does not. I wanted this for my Blackmagic Design Micro Cinema Camera, but this will not fit my camera, even though the battery for my camera is an LP-E6. This may work in Canon cameras using LP-E6, but beware if using for anything else you may have compatibility issues. I had to spend more money to buy a correct LP-E6 dummy adapter that works.UPDATE: I added another start to my rating (now three) because the construction of this mount is very solid and accepts my Kastar batteries. I'm still torqued about the LP-E6 adapter not fitting, but I've got a workaround and am otherwise pleased with the kit.

Great option
I am really happy with this item. It was almost exactly what I wanted. I didn’t see an option with 2 d-tap instead of DC but I can use the d-tap on my battery same time do not a biggie.One thing I don’t like: they placed the 12v DC connector directly below the d-tap port and all d-tap plugs will angle down, blocking the 12v plug. I’m using a solution that requires both and I’m not liking how much I’m forced to bend the d-tap plug

Great plate
This plate is almost perfect. My only complaint is when attaching a V-Mount double plate to it, the nuts don’t hold perfectly and I had the plate tip while shooting an event. Other than that it’s solid.

A DSLR Video Shooter Must Have
I honestly cannot believe more companies are not building these units at more reasonable prices like Soonwell. This unit is solid, solves all power needs and is light weight/compact. I pair this with a v-mount to NP battery brick so I can use inexpensive NP style batteries. Hands down the best way to power your camera rig for a reasonable price. If you want to spend double get the Lanparte but I have heard that it has some power issues. I may purchase v-mount batteries in the future but the NP's are working great. I am getting ~6-8hrs battery life from my Sony A7s and a 7" LCD field monitor with 2 8600mah NP batteries! My only wish for this device would be a battery life indicator on the side but it has not hindered my shooting without it. I love not having to pop batteries every 30-45min on a shoot anymore! I can now focus on more important things like the content im collecting. Thank you Soonwell for reliving my DSLR video shooter pain for a small amount of cash.

Does the job. Seems well built.
I use this for my Panasonic GH4. The dummy battery it comes with does not work w a GH4 so I had to purchase from B&H photo another dummy battery (D-Tap) made specifically for the GH4. I use a v mount battery with the Soonwell and the D tap GH4 dummy battery and it works fine. I power my GH4 and a 7" external monitor. The Soonwell also has other power outlets. Its durability is yet to be determined, but it looks and feels pretty solid. Very light weight. Have not used it a lot yet.

The D Tap is plug is too wide
Because if it I fried a monitor, I plugged it in backwards, and it allowed me to do it, because the plug is too wide. A correct build of a plug, will not allow you to connect it backwards. outside of that, the item works fine. However, I lost over 300 on a monitor, they really need to build a better connector plug on the device. If you are looking to invest, spend a little extra and get something else.

Excellent multi-power dc distribution
So far so good. I have been using this now for several months and it is VERY handy. I bought it for my Sony A7sii rig and its great for power distribution but I have also used it in other circumstances where I needed dc power for another device and it was a life saver!

この商品は使い勝手が良い
Vロックバッテリーをカメラに装着するまたは三脚に取り付けても良いのですがこのアダプターを使うことでバッテリー交換も簡単ですし取り回しが良くなりますね。
