Powering multiple wireless devices simultaneously from a camera-mounted battery system
16 years old. Gear and prices may have changed since.
What the thread found
- A custom box can convert a two-pin lemo connection into multiple P-Tap outputs while retaining the original female lemo for backwards compatibility with existing cables
- A two-pin lemo to four-way P-Tap breakout box allows both a bartech transmitter and a microwave transmitter to draw power from a single battery source without exceeding typical sled wiring capacity
- Custom solutions with pass-through connectors can be integrated into specific equipment stages to maintain existing functionality while adding new power distribution points
- Soldering lemo connectors requires prior experience and should not be attempted without established skills
Depends on
- The power draw limits depend on the specific wiring capacity of the equipment sled
- Solutions involving custom modifications may require several weeks to complete
- The feasibility and timing of custom modifications depend on local service availability
- Specific power consumption requirements for the paired devices were not quantified in the discussion
