Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What monitors is this D-Tap to Locking DC2 power cable compatible with?
A: This cable is designed for Atomos video assists and monitors that use a DC2 locking power input, including popular models such as the Shogun, Sumo, and Ninja series. Always check your specific monitor's power input specification before purchasing.
Q: What is a D-Tap connector and why is it used?
A: D-Tap (also called P-Tap) is an industry-standard connector found on V-mount and gold-mount batteries widely used in professional video production. It provides a convenient, high-current power output for running on-camera monitors, wireless systems, and other accessories directly from your battery.
Q: Why does this cable feature a right-angle connector?
A: The right-angle (90°) DC2 plug allows the cable to exit the monitor parallel to the body rather than sticking straight out. This keeps your rig more compact, prevents accidental leverage on the port, and makes cable management much tidier during a shoot.
Q: Does the locking DC2 connector really stay secure during use?
A: Yes. The locking DC2 connector features a collar that threads onto the monitor's power port, physically securing the connection. This prevents the cable from being pulled out accidentally, ensuring your monitor stays powered throughout your entire shoot.
Q: Is this cable compatible with non-Atomos monitors that use a DC2 power input?
A: This cable is optimized for Atomos monitors, but it may also work with other monitors that use a locking DC2 power input. Always verify your monitor's input voltage and connector type match before use.
