Francesco Cantoro Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 Hello! Does any of you guys know if it’s possible to power a Bolex H16 EL via V-Mount? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Francesco Cantoro Posted February 5, 2020 Author Share Posted February 5, 2020 Sorry, I should have posted this in Camera Accessories, my bad 😓 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giray Izcan Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 You could get a V Mount plate with a 4pin xlr cable or whatever the proprietary bolex socket is. Even if you just bought the plate with whatever plug, you could get that chopped off and solder on the Bolex plug amd voila. Then you could attach the plate on to the body somehow. Hope it helps.

Francesco Cantoro Posted February 6, 2020 Author Share Posted February 6, 2020 Thank you for the answer! I will try that ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean-Louis Seguin Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 What are you using currently to power the camera? To be safe, I would stick to 12V NiCd or NiMH packs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Francesco Cantoro Posted February 6, 2020 Author Share Posted February 6, 2020 Some re-celled Bolex on board batteries. But since i'd like to rig it up a bit and power other accessories a V-mount would be perfect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregory Barnes Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 Hi Francesco - did you end up doing this? I have an H16 EL and I'm thinking of following the same route. Thanks! G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mounted some 15mm rods to add a v mount battery to power up other accessories like video assist, teradek, focus motors etc. Hope it helped! fc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregory Barnes Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 Nice! Thanks for responding Francesco. What Video Assist approach did you take? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Hd one from Du-all Camera. It works really good http://www.duallcamera.com/store/VideoTaps.shtml Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregory Barnes Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 (edited) Amazing. Thanks for all this info Francesco. Can I ask why you opted away from V mount battery solutions? I've got a D-tap to Tuchel getting custom made at the moment, and I'm just a little wary of the 14.8v FXLion battery supplying the 12v Bolex. (My knowledge of electrics is very slim)... Thanks again for the Video Assist heads up! Edited January 16 by Gregory Barnes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
