The Sony PMW-EX1R does not have a double-barrel power connector suitable for direct sled battery integration, so factory wiring cannot be used for this configuration.
Using the camera's own battery (BP-U30) is the practical approach, as the total weight remains well under the 6-pound allowance for camera and power on a Pilot sled.
The BP-U30 battery provides runtime of approximately one to two hours for the PMW-EX1R.
Custom cables have been successfully built by others to power cameras from Pilot sleds, though this requires fabrication outside factory options.

Weight budget constraints may vary depending on the specific Pilot rig and total payload allowance.
Runtime estimates are approximate and may vary based on actual usage patterns and camera settings.
No specific technical details about custom cable construction are provided in the discussion.
