The Over/Under Hot-Swap for Gold Mount batteries is especially good for compact camera rigs and large monitors for clients, directors, DITs, video assists, etc.
The Over/Under Hot-Swap utilizes two battery plates that are wired to a hot-swap circuit that is capable of passing 10A with no voltage drop. The mounting plate is extremely rigid and lightweight; printed in a carbon fiber-nylon composite reinforced with continuous-strand high-strength, high-temperature fiberglass. Our 3D printed products are guaranteed not to warp or crack.
*Batteries not included*
All Rencher Industries products that use printed parts carry a 5-year warranty on the printed material. If your printed part warps, cracks, or fails for any reason, we will replace the defective printed part at no cost.
United StatesI recently purchased Rencher Industries Over/Under Hot-Swap plate for use on my SmallHD 1303 13” focus monitor. I have been using the monitor with some rental house batteries that obviously need to be re-celled and they were not lasting very long. The standard Anton Bauer “shark fin” double battery mount from the rental house was not working to support hot-swap on the monitor, so I purchased this plate. I have been very happy with the Over/Under Hot-Swap plate. The change over from one battery to the next is seamless and the monitor plus Teradek remains powered without any issues. I can also run two batteries on the monitor and the side-by-side configuration keeps the batteries depth appropriate. The plates are spaced far enough apart that all four types of Anton Bauer batteries I have tried will fit. (Dionic HC, Dionic XT90,Titan G90, and Digital G90). My only complaint is the off-brand battery plates used are tight and getting batteries on and off requires more force than a traditional Anton Bauer plate, however, the extra stiffness does create a nice secure hold. A side benefit is that each plate has two P-tap ports - so this Hot-Swap plate gives four p-tap ports for accessory power.
