The Kondor Blue D-Tap to Sony L-Series NPF Dummy Battery Cable in Kondor Blue is a Sony dummy battery for gear with an L-Series (NP-F) slot, such as SmallHD monitors. It draws from a D-Tap port anywhere between 8V and 17V and passes a regulated 8V, rated at 2A, through the dummy; a second 8V DC out port on the dummy powers one more accessory nearby, and the blue coil stretches from 16 to 36 inches.

Key Features

  • Sony L-Series NP-F dummy on one end, D-Tap connector on the other, joined by a blue coiled cable
  • Regulated 8V output with a 2A rating from any D-Tap source in the 8V to 17V range
  • 8V DC out port built into the dummy, so a small accessory can draw power right beside the monitor
  • Coil length 16 in, stretching to 36 in (about 41 to 91 cm); braided nylon jacket and reinforced connectors
  • Listed by Kondor Blue for SmallHD and Lilliput monitors, Sony gear, Edelkrone and other motorized sliders, sound mixers and follow focus systems

FAQ

Will this power my SmallHD Focus 5" monitor?

Kondor Blue names SmallHD monitors among the L-Series battery devices this cable powers, so a SmallHD screen with an L-Series slot can run from it at a regulated 8V. One owner who runs it on a SmallHD setup and a Hollyland Cosmo C1 says the fit on both is spot on, where other dummies he tried were too tight or too loose.

What cable do I need to use the 8V output on the dummy?

A DC cable whose plug fits the round port, going to a device that runs on 8V. Kondor Blue describes the port as a regulated 8V output for powering accessories next to the monitor. For the camera itself, a separate D-Tap cable made for that camera is the simpler route, such as Kondor Blue's NP-FZ100 dummy cable for an FX3 or A7 IV.

Does it get warm, and can I run a light from it?

Do not use it for lights. Kondor Blue says this cable is not for lights or high-current devices because misuse can overheat it or make it fail, and its output is rated at 2A. One owner noticed the dummy warming up quickly but said it kept working without problems.

Is the Raven Black version different, or is it only the colour?

Only the colour. Kondor Blue sells this L-Series dummy cable as one product in two colours, Kondor Blue (KB-DTAP-SL) and Raven Black (KB-DTAP-SL-BK), and lists one set of specifications for both.
