Converting an Anton Bauer Scout battery mount to V-mount and sourcing LEMO connectors
14 years old. Gear and prices may have changed since.
What the thread found
- An Anton Bauer Scout battery mount can be converted to V-mount by swapping the mounting plate, though this requires electrical work with LEMO connectors.
- LEMO connector part numbers follow a logical naming convention where female connectors are designated with EGG prefix and male connectors with FGG prefix.
- Affordable LEMO connectors can be sourced from electronics distributors like Mouser and eBay if you know the specific part number.
- A voltage regulator solution may be needed when pairing certain battery mounts with equipment that cannot handle the native voltage output from V-mount batteries.
Depends on
- The conversion requires electrical work and familiarity with soldering and DC current handling.
- The discussion focuses on a specific older camera battery system and may not apply to modern equipment.
- No detailed instructions were provided for the physical mounting process itself.
