Cheers, David

Dear Steve,

Thanks for the quick response and the information regarding the pin-out!

Just to be sure. Looking at the photo the 3 o´clock pin --> 0V ; 12 o´clock pin --> 3.6V ; 9 o´clock pin --> 7.2V. Right?

Is this the standard Beaulieu pin-out and compatible with the Beaulieu cable and the Beaulieu battery container?

Regards, David

Hi!

First of all I want to thank all of you for this TOP NOTCH forum.

Very informative and helpful!

So, first post --> first question.

I bought a Beaulieu 4008 ZM II camera some time ago. I plan to shoot some footage outside in cold weather conditions and therefor I want to use an external battery pack.

I intent to safe money and not to buy a Battery Dummy, which is rather expensive, instead I will build my own out of an old Beaulieu battery.

Following the instructions on this website http://www.bondy.de/beaulieu/4008battery.html I managed to open the battery.

Next step is the installation of the 3-pin DIN socket but I need help with the configuration of the pins to the three camera contacts.

A proper pin-out / wire diagram would be very helpful.

I want to use an external Beaulieu battery container (which I don´t have yet) so the dummy should be compatibel with Beaulieu accessories (cable, container etc.).

Every bit of information is very welcome!

Regards, David
