Panavision Lightweight 2 camera power connector pinout for custom cable construction

18 years old. Gear and prices may have changed since.

What the thread found

  • The 3-pin XLR battery connector on Panavision camera power cables uses Pin 1 for +24V, Pin 2 for ground, and Pin 3 is unused.
  • The Lemo connector end that attaches to the camera body (FFA.3S.303 model) has pin numbers printed next to the solder cups on the interior of the connector.
  • Pin numbers on Lemo S-series connectors are marked directly on the connector housing to aid in correct wiring.

Depends on

  • Information applies specifically to Panavision Lightweight 2 camera.
  • Pin configuration should be verified against the actual camera power cable before soldering, as incorrect wiring can damage equipment.
  • This addresses the FFA.3S.303 Lemo connector type only.
  • Availability of replacement cables varies by location; some areas lack nearby camera rental houses.
