Product Information
Full details
The Hedbox UNIX-URSA Cine V-Mount Battery Plate is a professional-grade power management solution tailored for videographers and photographers using Blackmagic URSA cameras. It serves as a central power hub, allowing you to run your camera alongside multiple essential accessories like monitors, LED lights, and wireless transmitters from a single V-mount battery. While it offers exceptional durability and versatile connectivity, users should note that it requires specific screw mounting configurations, making it less of a 'tool-less' solution compared to some native quick-release systems.

FAQs
Can I charge the battery through the UNIX-URSA plate?
No, the plate is designed for power distribution. You must charge your V-mount batteries using a dedicated external battery charger.
What is the maximum output of the USB port?
The USB port provides 5V at 2.1A, which is standard for charging phones and tablets.
Is this compatible with non-URSA cameras?
The plate can function as a generic power distribution unit, but the included Molex cable is specific to URSA power inputs.
Does it have an on/off switch?
The unit acts as a passive distribution hub; it is 'on' as soon as a charged battery is locked into the V-mount.
What material is the V-lock release made of?
It is made from high-quality aluminum alloy, tested for 10,000 cycles.
Troubleshooting
Accessories connected via D-Tap are not turning on
Ensure the D-Tap cable is fully seated and verify the V-mount battery has sufficient voltage (14V-16.8V).
Battery wobbles when attached
Check that the plate is mounted tightly to the rig and ensure the V-lock mechanism is clear of any dirt or obstructions.
Camera does not receive power
Verify the 12-pin Molex connection is correctly oriented and firmly plugged into the camera's power port.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Align the plate with the mounting points on your camera rig or cage.
- Secure the unit using the 4x M3x12 screws provided. Ensure all four are tightened firmly to the metal back panel.
- Connect the integrated 12-pin Molex cable directly into the camera's power input port.
- Attach your V-mount battery until you hear the audible click of the aluminum V-lock mechanism.
Compatibility
This model is explicitly designed for Blackmagic URSA systems but can be adapted for other rigs using custom mounting brackets provided the screw hole alignment matches the universal hole pattern.
Care
Keep the D-Tap pins free of debris and moisture. Wipe the aluminum body with a clean, dry microfiber cloth if exposed to dust. Regularly inspect the 12-pin Molex connector for bent pins to maintain a secure electrical path.
