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.
