Multi-voltage accessory power distribution box for film cameras

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

What the thread found

  • A breakout cable with simultaneous 12V and 24V outputs can replace dedicated power supplies on cameras like RED and F35, reducing onboard battery weight and simplifying cabling while keeping accessories operational.
  • The device is useful when working with different camera rental setups that use varying power distribution standards, eliminating the need to reconfigure for each job.
  • On F35 cameras in Steadicam mode, this box can replace the standard 24V power supply.
  • The connector configuration includes one PowerTap 12V input and three Arri RS 24V outputs plus one Arri RS male Start/Stop loop through.

Depends on

  • The device was primarily tested with RED and F35 cameras; applicability to Epic and Scarlet cameras is suggested but not confirmed by direct experience.
  • The Start/Stop loop through feature has only been used on F35, not tested with other cameras.
  • Demand for production would determine whether manufacturing occurs.
