Was wondering if a 12v, 15v or a 16.8v is better for a gh2/blackmagic? Thanks

In reply to Ciaran. @Ciaran - Hmm. Good question. Actually I thought the H4n could be powered via USB too? So you don't even need the barrel connector. The mini USB cable should work fine.

Hi Emm,

Just bought the power station and a couple of these v-lock batteries to power 2 cn600s. Was pretty impressed how many hours I got out of each one!

Have started using it on my rig too, am trying to find the best way to power the h4n. I can go usb to 5v barrel jack or simply jack to jack. I struggling to figure out what sized jack the h4n will take. Any ideas on the best cable that would work?

What worries me about these v-mount and AB battery solutions for dslr solutions is that the output for the camera is 7.2v...canon batteries and battery solutions such as those from switronix output 7.4v...why the disparity? and what does it mean for shooters?

Hey emm, you can buy just the vmount (link below) for your shoulder pad. And it's on a swivel 15mm hinge so it theoretically could be inverted on your rails and be put behind shoulder for better weight distribution https://www.ebay.com/itm/Pro-V-Mount-HDMI-Splitter-Station-15mm-Rails-System-/170692066988?pt=UK_Tripods_Heads_Stablisers&hash=item27be0a3eac#ht_1581wt_1165
