In December 2019 I wrote about the new Core SWX battery plates for Sony FX9 full-frame cinema camera. At the BSC Expo 2020 show in London, Nino met up with Ross from Core SWX to hear more about these new battery plates. What did we learn about them?

The plates are all-aluminium CNC machined products. They come in both V-Mount and Gold Mount versions and are designed to seamlessly integrate with the camera. They leverage two points of contact with the camera, to provide a sturdy connection. There are two screws on top and a rail guide, which provides another point of contact and prevents any kind of torque.

The plates have two D-taps on the front and XLR input on the side. This XLR input can provide hot-swap function for the batteries.
