Jarlath McKernan Posted May 7 Posted May 7 Hi guys. I am in real need of help with a technical question. I bought an ARRI Alexa Classic last year. It had a Anton Bauer gold mount plate. I took that off and replaced it with the hawk woods reel power battery pack (26V). I did that as I was using my film school reel power 200w/h batteries. I am now graduating and require an alternative. Unfortunately them reel power batteries are more or less extinct now. I intend to buy a set of IDX 198 Batteries and run the camera off that, as I see it is popular and only cheap. They are batteries that are simply reliable and cheap. however, i cannot for the life of me find the correct idx or alternative battery plate that will work for the alexa classic with these batteries. I wish to be able to use any v mount battery on the back of it. attached is the photo i am looking for. does anyone know if i can get a back that can fit directly through the gold connector pins all help greatly appreciated!
Tilman Bensiek Posted May 7 Posted May 7 (edited) Hi Jarlath, well the official solution would be to purchase the ARRI K2.72010.0 Battery Plate as mentioned in this document and mount it to the back, however it might be difficult to find nowadays. Another way could be to use something like the bebop V2AB to adapt the gold mount battery plate to V-Mount: https://bebob.de/v2ab.html Hope that helps!
