Power and remote trigger connectors differ between Phantom camera models
What the thread found
- The Flex4k and VEO series use different power connectors from each other.
- The VEO camera offers flexibility with two different connector options for power.
- For cameras with attached power boxes, an onboard battery positioned at the back of the VEO may be preferable given the camera's compact size.
- Remote triggering on the Flex4k can be controlled via BNC connectors or a three-pin ARRI RS connector.
- The VEO series accepts remote triggers through either BNC connectors or through the Iphantom wireless system using a micro router connected to an iPad.
- The Iphantom system uses wireless control via a micro router linked to an iPad to manage camera functions.
- A Mini bob breaker box provides BNC trigger options for remote control.
Depends on
- The original poster did not specify which Phantom model they were using, so recommendations were based on assumptions about recent versions.
- Multiple configuration options exist for triggering and power, creating complexity in cable selection and setup.
