Q: 7. Would this be able to accommodate the Neo Core Mini Gold Mount Batteries too? Or will this only work on the Micro batteries?

A: This adapter was designed to exclusively work with Core SWX NANO Micro Gold Mount batteries. We would not recommend using it with Neo Core Mini Gold Mount batteries.

Q: 8. Does the D-tap output also have hot swap capabilities? I want to power something but not with the V bracket on the mount

A: The Core SWX Micro Hot-Swap Dual V-Mount Battery Plate is designed to hot swap with batteries, and does not have another power input to provide power to the camera if both batteries are removed from the plate. Since the batteries aren’t ‘stacked’ on one another, you can easily remove the depleted battery while leaving the other battery connected so that there is no down time.

A: Micro V-mount batteries are capable of fitting onto the SmallRig V-Mount Battery Adapter Plate with Dual-Rod Clamp.
