SWIT KA-M20S Dual Pocket V-Mount 300W Hot-Swap Battery Plate

SWIT KA-M20S Dual Pocket V-Mount 300W Hot-Swap Battery Plate

The SWIT KA-M20S hot-swap battery plate holds two compatible pocket V-Mount batteries and automatically manages them for uninterrupted camera power. It uses one battery at a time for loads below 150W or combines both packs to supply demanding equipment with up to 300W through the V-Mount output.

Designed for cinema cameras, broadcast rigs, production monitors, and mobile lighting systems, the plate supports SWIT PB-M98S, OMNI-99S, and OMNI-50S batteries. In hot-swap mode, crews can replace the inactive pack without shutting down connected equipment. High-load mode draws from both batteries simultaneously for power-intensive camera configurations.

Independent LED indicators identify the active and depleted batteries, helping operators manage power changes during live productions and extended takes. Two D-Tap outputs provide flexible accessory power from the top and side of the plate. Compatible Sony and RED systems can also display battery information through the V-Mount connection, while integrated protection circuitry supports reliable professional operation.
