With a 200W constant high-load capability, the internal battery provides at least two minutes of runtime at a 200W load, giving you time to fit a fresh battery without interrupting operation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn integrated LCD countdown makes battery changes easy to manage. Once the V-mount battery is removed, the display counts down from 120 seconds, clearly showing the remaining hot-swap time. With two D-Tap outputs, 2-pin LEMO output, USB-A output and an 8-pin LEMO input, the KA-S30S can also form part of a more complete camera power setup. A supplied 15mm rod adaptor allows the plate to be installed on compatible 15mm rig systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWho this is for\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe KA-S30S is designed for professional camera setups where powering down during a battery change is inconvenient or could interrupt production.
