Powering a Blackmagic URSA Mini Pro G2 from a Steadicam® Aero sled via D-Tap and feeding a focus system through a D-Tap splitter.
What the thread found
- A D-Tap splitter can supply both the camera and a separate focus system from a single D-Tap output on the Aero-Stage via a D-Tap to 4-pin XLR cable.
- The URSA Mini Pro G2 is light enough to operate with a V-Mount battery mounted directly on the camera body.
- Mounting a V-Mount battery at the camera reduces the power draw from the sled's D-Tap supply, simplifying power distribution on the rig.
