Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Can Litepanel Caliber power by Sony NP batteries via DC Barrel cable?

A: Unfortunately, no, the Litepanels Caliber LED Light cannot be powered by a Sony NP-F series battery.

Q: 2. What is the difference between a standard yoke and the pole oriented yoke?

A: A standard yoke is designed for use on a light stand. To adjust the position of the light fixture, you would lower the stand and use the locking knobs built onto the light fixture to directly adjust the positioning of the light fixture. A pole-operated yoke is typically designed when the light fixture is used overhead or out-of-reach from the light operator. It has two color-coded cups on the yoke that is controlled by a worm gear, which allows you to use a telescopic pole to adjust the pan and tilt positioning of the light fixture from the ground without having to lower the light and/or physically adjust the locking knobs on the light fixture. If you are shooting in a studio and the light fixture will be mounted on a grid or a truss, a pole-operated yoke is usually the more popular option.

Q: 3. On Litepanel's website, I read that when powered with a 14.4V Battery, the Gemini 1x1 will work at 90%. But it needs a 26v battery or two 14.4V batteries to work at 100%. But how can we use two 14.4V V-lock batteries if this adapter https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1461102-REG/litepanels_900_3618_gemini_2x1_with_2.html is only for the Gemini 2x1? Is the only solution is to use the Gold-mount adapter or is there another way to plug 2 V-lock batteries on the Gemini 1x1?

A: According to the specs: DC Input Power 13 to 28 VDC some 26v V-mount batteries will work not all. Or Litepanels Dual Battery Bracket for Gemini 2 x 1 Soft LED Panel (V-Mount) B&H # LI9003618
