Description
Power Distribution Box DB-4 (Canon C80, Gold Mount) attaches directly to the shoe mount of the C80 using locking pins and pressure and provides intelligent power distribution with D-Taps, 5V USB-C PD, 3pin Fischers, and 2pin LEMO compatible connectors. Removable REMOTE LANC cable enables remote start/stop capability using 3pin Fischer devices.
Also available in a hinged 15mm LW Rod Mount version for attaching further away from the camera.
Hot-swap between on-board battery and 4pin XLR DC INPUT without losing camera or accessory power. When both sources are connected, the DC INPUT takes priority down to 12.5V at which point, the DB-4 will switch to an onboard battery.
The shoe mount design allows Canon's BP-A30N battery to be installed in the camera to function as an emergency backup. To swap the internal battery, swing the DB-4 up and release the battery. Note that the DB-4 provides 19.5V to the camera so that the camera will default to the DC input.
The DB-4 can also be separated from its shoe mount, revealing a 15mm rod clamp with an internal friction sleeve.
With the SMART FUSE design, camera power is monitored and the remaining power budget is allocated to accessories. For example, the C80 uses approximately 1.0A at 14V so when using a 10A capable battery, the remaining 9.0A is allocated for accessory use. If an accessory configuration exceeds the 9.0A limit, accessory power is cut off, leaving the camera powered. The "SMART FUSE" LED will illuminate, showing the error, and once the configuration has been adjusted to lower than 9.0A, the RESET button can be pressed, and power will be re-enabled to accessory outputs.
In the event of a complete short circuit, the system will immediately shut down and can only be turned back on once the short circuit has been removed.
The DB-4 is also compatible with Canon C70 but that camera's shoe is in a different location so the Rod Mounted version is suggested.
User changeable V-Mount Plates available as well.
