What the thread found

• A wireless video transmitter requiring 12V DC can be powered from a Zephyr steadicam battery using an appropriate Lemo adapter cable.
• Using an intermediate Powertap connector between the Lemo battery output and the 12V device provides flexibility for future configurations and avoids repeated expensive Lemo connector purchases.
• The Zephyr manual specifies the correct Lemo connector type and pinout configuration needed for battery output.
• Multiple Lemo connector variants exist in the market, making it necessary to verify the exact connector type before ordering or fabricating adapters.
• Cable fabrication shops and steadicam equipment suppliers can custom-make Lemo-to-12V adapters when commercial options are unavailable.

Depends on

• This addresses a 5.8 GHz wireless transmitter setup, not necessarily all wireless equipment.
• The discussion occurred in 2011 and references specific suppliers that may no longer be in operation.
• No testing results or performance data provided for the completed setup.
