What the thread found

• RedRock MicroRemote follow focus systems require external power via a connector like P-tap or D-tap to operate properly
• V-mount and Anton Bauer are the two main broadcast battery mounting systems in widespread use, with similar sizes and weights for equivalent capacities
• D-tap and P-tap are auxiliary power connectors that can be integrated into battery mounting plates or built directly into batteries, allowing flexible power distribution
• IDX batteries with V-mount connector and Anton Bauer batteries with gold mount connector are both viable options for powering follow focus equipment on gimbal rigs
• A battery mounting plate with integrated D-tap or P-tap connector can be attached to gimbal cage or arm structure to power the follow focus receiver remotely

Depends on

• The exact mounting method and weight distribution shown in reference photos could not be definitively determined from the images discussed
• This advice applies to broadcast-style battery systems and may not cover all follow focus power requirements for different manufacturers or models
• No specific product recommendations or links were provided in the discussion
