Steven Wyatt Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 Hello, I'm looking for alternative ways to power my Eclair npr 16mm camera. I'd like to try and power it by v lock through a dtap. Do you reckon this would work?

Gregg MacPherson Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 (edited) I think fully charged V-lock (LiPo) will be 16.8V..? This may be too high for the NPR. Someone must know what the max allowable V is. This issue came up when considering V-lock for ACL, which I think Andrzej at AZ Spectrum said had a max allowable V=15.6V. One solution is to use a 12V regulated V-lock mount. I found one that has a 5A max output. But 4.2A with the existing cable, so may need to upgrade the cable. It's only about $85 on Amazon... https://www.amazon.com/HEDBOX-UNIX-12V-V-Lock-Adapter-BREAKWAY/dp/B07JYG96DW The tail in the photo is the regulated output. So you would solder an XLR4 Canon connector onto that. There's an Eclair sub-forum where you might find one or two guys knowledgeable on NPR. Cheers, Gregg.
