The SmallRig 5881 Intelligent Power Management V-Mount Battery Mount Plate with 15mm Dual Rod Clamp* is more than just a battery plate—it's an intelligent power management system designed to provide professional photographers and film crews with a 24/7, highly flexible power solution, alleviating concerns about runtime limitations.
1. Intelligent Dual-Mode Power Management This battery plate features intelligent power logic with two operational modes: Combined Discharge Mode allows multiple V-mount batteries to be used simultaneously, significantly extending total runtime. Sequential Discharge Mode operates batteries one after another, simplifying battery cycle management. A quick double-press of the side button switches between modes, providing an optimal power strategy for both extended recording sessions and multi-battery workflows .
2. Multi- Port Input & True Hot-Swap for Uninterrupted Runtime The unit integrates 4 D-Tap and 1 BP input port, compatible with mainstream V-mount batteries. The BP port serves as a backup input. When used with the included D-Tap to D-Tap cable to connect other inputs, the system maintains a stable output of up to 100W, allowing you to safely remove depleted batteries and replace them with fresh ones without cutting power. The top digital display clearly shows the status of all five inputs (1-4 D-Tap, 5 BP), making the swap process intuitive and enabling true hot-swapping for non-stop shooting.
3. Powerful & Stable Multi-Device Output To power multiple devices, including monitors, video transmitters, cinema cameras, and lights, the mount plate provides 3 D-Tap and 1 BP output port, each capable of delivering up to 100W of constant power. A built-in 12V auxiliary switching circuit ensures a stable 15V output, keeping critical downstream equipment running even when input voltage is low. Additionally, a bi-directional USB-C port on the side supports up to 65W for both input and output, allowing you to quickly recharge the plate itself or provide emergency power to phones, tablets, or cameras.
4. Compact Design & Easy Expansion for Diverse Shooting Scenarios Featuring SmallRig's precision engineering, this plate is compact and lightweight yet highly versatile. A standard 1/4" threaded hole on the bottom works with the included 15mm dual-rod clamp, which allows for fine lateral adjustments to accommodate different V-mount battery sizes and optimize screen protector bracket placement. This enables easy integration into 15mm rod systems for seamless accessory expansion. The included screen protector bracket offers reliable protection and can be detached as needed.
5. Building a Professional Uninterrupted Power System This V-Mount battery plate works seamlessly with other SmallRig accessories, such as the Wireless Tethering Hub for Cameras (ID 5566) and Rotatable V-Mount Battery Plate with Dual V-Locks and 15mm Dual Rod Clamp (ID 6273), to create a reliable power system for demanding scenarios, such as remote outdoor or unattended shoots. For additional configuration needs, consider the SmallRig Intelligent Power Management V-Mount Battery Adapter Plate (Basic Edition) (ID 5653) or the SmallRig Intelligent Power Management V-Mount Battery Plate Compatible with Arca-Swiss Quick Release Plate (ID 5899).
