thanks Bob for your experience on the panel as a workable fixture, I was also fishing for some input on the fixture being used with on board batteries other than the ones sold by the company. Lite panels also sells a battery plate for use with V-lock batteries. However IDX states that the fixture is producing a high amp draw ( according to the specs ) on the battery and that will void your battery warranty. Operating range is 18 to 24 volts for the panel. so while the fixture will strike and run for about an hour, it is doing damage to the battery pack.
Light Panels also makes an Anton Bauer Gold Mount back. I'd recommend using it with a lighter battery, such as trimpacks, hytron 50s, and dionics. Larger batteries are a little too heavy, and will overpower the light's tilt lock, making focus impossible. Or you could always just use a 4-pin connector and a battery belt.
