External battery cable type?

PostMon Sep 03, 2012 7:59 pm

What is the type of DC input connector on the camera? If I want to use an Anton Bauer D-Tap from a 14.4v Dionic brick, what type/style of cable would I be looking at buying or having to make? D-Tap on one end and what type on the other?

:mrgreen: I have never seen an example of the center pin being negative. It would probably greatly increase the likelihood of shockage!

But yes...center is positive.
