PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The Kondor Blue ARC Battery Plate System reimagines how V-Mount batteries integrate into modern camera rigs. Rather than adapting traditional cinema battery plates designed around bulky rod systems, the ARC was engineered as a compact, lightweight, and modular platform for today’s hybrid filmmakers, content creators, and cinematographers.
The system is built around the redesigned ARCA Receiver MkII, tool-free Mini Pivot, and precision-machined Mini V-Mount Plate resulting in a seamless quick-release battery mounting solution. The integrated ARCA interface allows the entire battery assembly to be installed or removed in seconds, while the Mini Pivot provides smooth, pre-set tension for effortless battery repositioning without knobs, levers, or tools.
Designed specifically for compact cinema cameras like the Sony FX3, FX2, Canon C50, R6V, Nikon ZR, Z6III, Lumix S1II and similar systems, the ARC keeps battery mounting close to the camera while maintaining full flexibility. The battery can be folded tightly against the rig for transport, swung away to access rear displays or ports, or positioned to improve overall balance during handheld operation.
Every component is CNC machined from aerospace-grade aluminum and stainless steel to maximize strength while minimizing weight. Multiple mounting interfaces with removable locating pins provide secure anti-twist installation across a wide range of cages and accessories, while the modular design allows the ARC to grow alongside your camera system as new accessories are introduced.
Whether you’re building the lightest possible run-and-gun setup or creating a fully configured cinema rig, the ARC Battery Plate System delivers a cleaner, faster, and more adaptable approach to V-Mount battery mounting.
