This V-Mount Plate from Wooden Camera connects a V-mount battery to your Sony a7, a7R, a7S, a7R II, a7S II, or other Alpha series cameras. The V-mount battery's power is greater than the camera's standard battery, providing a longer runtime. The plate connects to the camera via a dummy battery, attached to an integrated 16" cable. A built-in regulator ensures that the correct voltage is delivered to the camera. The plate also features two D-Tap ports that provide 12 to 16V of power for accessories.

The V-Mount Plate may be mounted on your rig using a Wooden Camera's Battery Slide mounting adapter (sold separately). It can also be mounted like any standard V-mount plate.

Q: 4. Can I place a hand grip on the RRS L plate for sony a7r3?Can I attach it to the bar at the bottom of the base plate?

A: I have been using the a7RII RRS L plate (mostly without the L) for a couple of years. Combined with the Peak Design anchors, it was the perfect camera carry for me. So I was disappointed with the RRS plate on my new a7RIII; missing the attachment point on the lower right. I was ready to have a machine shop mod one for me but; I found a pretty good alternative.The new RRS plate has a hex tool slot (which is handy but not necessary) I found that by attaching the PD anchor to the strap attachment in the base and feeding it through the hex key slot; voila! a pretty well balanced carry. It could be better an inch to the right but it works much better than any other combo I tried. I am not sure this would work with a hand strap but you could give it a try.

Q: 5. Is it possible to mount "15mm Bracket (BH #WO213800)" at the back of this top plate?

A: Although we cannot test whether the Wooden Camera 15mm LWS Rods Bracket for RED Weapon Camera can attach to the back of the Wooden Camera Top Plate for Sony FX6, it seems like the two will fit. We recommend using ARRI Accessory Mount to 15mm Rod Clamp for a true fit. https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1352757-REG/wooden_camera_251400_arri_accessory_mount_to.html

Q: 10. will this work on the a7III camera?

A: This device is for cameras like the a7R II that take the Sony NP-FW50 Lithium-Ion Rechargeable Battery (1020mAh) B&H # SONPFW50. It is a very small battery. That is why it was it was replace by the larger Sony NP-FZ100 Rechargeable Lithium-Ion Battery (2280mAh) B&H # SONPFZ100. This is the battery the a7 III uses. Since it is larger, the Wooden Camera V-Mount Plate for Sony A7 and Alpha Cameras B&H # WO181200 will not work.
