Overview

The Gen V Battery Rack offers a wide array of features to modernize existing PRO Steadicam Sleds. A billet aluminum main assembly, precision ground rods, and thoughtfully engineered clamping system provide excellent stability for the Operator, as well as a greatly improved power management system, allow the Operator to focus more on the shots they are asked to perform, and less on the gear they are using!

Compatible with the PRO 2, Cinema HD, Cinelive, and Apex systems, it attaches to existing Lower Junction Boxes with the 6 included screws. The Gen V Battery Rack is a rod-based system - the rear battery plates can be adjusted with the flip of single cam lever, which makes for quick and easy balancing. The cam lever can be moved to either the left or the right side of the rear clamp to ensure that both the regular & goofy Operators can adjust it the way they prefer.

The rods are ⅝”, so they are slightly larger than 15mm, which makes them incredibly strong but also lightweight. The wiring is routed internally inside of the rods, so you never have to worry about them being damaged or getting in the way. The rods have a built-in stainless steel safety stop as well to prevent over-extension.

The Battery Rack weighs in at roughly 2.5lbs (1.1kg) which puts it right in the middle of the PRO Gen III and Gen IV Battery Racks. The built-in 3rd battery mount is situated directly underneath the center post when using Cinelive Electronics, however, the older PRO Electronics have the 3rd battery sitting slightly towards the monitor side.

Battery Plates + Power Distribution

All 3 battery plates can be oriented either towards the left or right side of the Gen V Battery Rack, whichever the Operator prefers. The 3 battery plates are also user-swappable in less than a minute because they are all terminated with quick-release connectors! Switch between Gold Mount and V-Mount by simply removing the four screws and plugging in the connector. 24V battery plate options like Core Helix, Anton Bauer 26V, and B-Mount are available when using the new Apex Lower Junction Box.

Add-Ons

If you want a completely coplanar monitor and battery configuration, the Monitor Yoke 1 can be mounted to the front of the main assembly with two captive screws.
