- SmallRig VS Tilta V-Mount Battery Plate Adapter
UPDATE: Tilta now has a swivel version! amzn.to/3SpZ8GO
SmallRig V-Mount Adapter: amzn.to/3QFmerK and adorama.rfvk.net/x0aR3
I bought the Tilta V-Mount Battery Plate in hopes that I could find a nice solution for articulating the mount to adjust its position - along with the ability to have a power switch and USB. Right around the same time, SmallRig came out with their V-Mount Battery Plate Adapter WITH a power switch AND USB! It's probably the best budget v mount battery plate.
So now I have both the SmallRig and Tilta V-Mount Plates.
I have not found any other V-mount plate that has these features than the SmallRig in this price point. I purchased my SmallRig V-Mount Adapter from Adorama: adorama.rfvk.net/x0aR3

You’re the first person to compare these two models, I’ve been looking for a video like this for weeks trying to find the best v Mount option, going between either the Camvate or the Tilta. Both are great options but I think I was leaning more towards the Tilta. This videos makes me think a lot more before I make the decision. Thanks so much!
I have yet to take a look at the Camvate version. Glad you found it helpful Alex!
Thank you for making and publishing this video. It was just what I have been looking for!
Glad to hear! Feel free to let me know what else you want to see.
*Which do you like better? Tilta or SmallRig?*
Here's the link to the SmallRig: adorama.rfvk.net/x0aR3
and here's the Tilta: adorama.rfvk.net/7WqKV
thanks for the comparisan man, this helps me a lot
im gonna go with smallrig
Awesome! Glad you found it helpful!
Hi! Thanks for the comparison, the smallrig one looks just the part. However, Adorama link says backorder, B&H shows the plate as discontinued and it doesn't appear on Smallrig's own website - only the stock plate with no adapter / connectivity options. Could it be that it's already discontinued?
Update, just saw your reply on the thread here, looks like Smallrig are updating the plate from what you've said.
Thanks for the video!
I bought a Forge DP500 A couple of years ago, only complaint is the rod hinge design isn't as robust as I would prefer when steading the rig against my shoulder.
Thanks you for making and pulishing❤️
Thanks for the review.
FWIW, I've read a number of reviews that the SmallRig's articulating arm can't support large V-mount batteries, which could be an issue for some.
Q: Do you know if the Tilta's 8V and 12V outputs are regulated? Unregulated power can fry a camera, so I'd want to be 110% certain those are regulated before using them.
smallrig is unavailable, god knows what goes on with these. Thank you for the awesome review
I don't know much about v mount batteries, but I bought a D&O battery and tried using it with an Indipro V mount adapter plate, but there seemed to be some play between the two. If I moved the assembly, it would sometimes lose connection/power, and my camera would turn off. Have you ever had experience where a battery and a plate don't marry perfectly and have connection issues? Anyway, I returned the Indipro and just ordered a Smallrig plate. I hope it works with the D&O battery
I just purchased the Smallrig battery plate and was wondering where you purchased the barrel 8V and 12V power connectors. I have the R5 and would like to power it using the USB-C. I guess I could build one but don't really want to do that unless absolutely neccessary. It seems that Smallrig does not supply any of those connectors except D-Tap with a barrel but I don't need that. Thanks for your help.
Btw Michael, do you have any experience based advice on choosing Gold vs V mount?
Can you test the voltage conversion efficiency of the plates? For example, if you draw 1A from the 12V output, how much current is drawn from the battery? If it is 100% efficient, it would draw 12/14.4 = 833 mA
The arm is cool, but it seems like I'd rather have a big flat plate dining into my chest/belly than the corner of that arm. (Obviously depends on how you need to hold your camera.) I need one with a power switch though, so I'm considering this one...
How the SmallRig holding? Seen alot of comments saying that it get loose with time and doest hold still the battery. Would be great to have your opinion/experience on that! Thx for that video!
Tilta has BT-003. Flexible
Very cool! Thanks for the heads up!
Can you post the (Blackmagic) camera by a dummy battery with V mount or some other solution as most hybrid shooters (Sony et al)?
Does either plate have regulated power out on the D-tap?
one question , if my monitor and camera have different voltage is it bad to connect them directly to the battery with D-TAP splitter or shall I be aware of something? or shall I get a v mount plate with the different voltage inputs?
Can you open it and take a look inside? I need a more stable power supply.
Hey there! It is possible to use the v mount battery plate usb-c port as a charger input? For example a small rig v mount plate with USB-C? Thanks!
are the rod distance one both plates the same?
Hey mate, what are you mounting your nano wheel with?
I'm using the Tilta 15mm rod adapter: adorama.rfvk.net/KeqMvA
I really like how it works.
@@MichaelDeVowe thanks! I honestly think you’ve got the best setup I’ve seen on the tube
@@OutdoorsIQ Thanks a lot!
I can't find the SmallRig model on their website?
SmallRig got back to me and said their team is working on some improvements and they'll release a new version at some point.
can you actually mount tilta plate vertically? I heard its not possible and I really want you confirm if its true or not
Yes, it is possible. I believe the first version of the Tilta v Mount battery plate did not have holes to mount the rail clamp. That has since been discontinued and this new version does have holes for the rail mount.
✌...
Seems like the SmallRig is discontinued already. Disappointing.
No, the SKU has been changed. www.adorama.com/sr3204.html?origterm=smallrig+3204
@@yourpcmd Thanks, but evidently backordered. Would like to get my hands on one.
