What the thread found

• The GLIDECAM GOLD stabilizer has two 12V power output options: a 2-pin accessory connector and a 3-pin camera power port
• The 2-pin accessory connector draws voltage directly from the battery and can supply current draw up to 3 amps or more
• Before connecting any external device to the stabilizer's power outputs, you should verify the power requirements and specifications of the receiving device to prevent damage to sensitive electronics
• Using the 2-pin accessory connector for powering BFD receivers is preferable to using the 3-pin camera power port because it preserves the camera power port for its intended use

Depends on

• Information applies specifically to GLIDECAM GOLD model
• The discussion does not specify what BFD unit connector types are required
• Thread does not confirm whether the 3-amp specification is regulated or fluctuating current
