assumption Posted July 24, 2014 Report Share Posted July 24, 2014 Hey everyone, I am wondering what the possibilities are of using the hirose power connector on the 633 as an outlet.. I have heard rumours that it is possible to use pins 2 and 3 to draw power from the L series batteries in certain recorders, I am wondering how much truth there is in these.. I haven't been able to find anything remotely useful regarding this, except for what I already knew that pin 1 is negative and pin 4 is positive.. Am I correct in assuming that as you can't charge the L series using external power whilst being plugged into the 633, there may not be the circuitry in place to allow power to pass through pins 2 and 3 on the hirose? Any help or thoughts would be very much appreciated.. Many thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soundslikejustin Posted July 24, 2014 Report Share Posted July 24, 2014 True, you cannot charge the L-mounts with the Hirose. Looping the l-mount battery power back out the Hirose would be a custom mod, and would probably void your warranty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osa Posted July 24, 2014 Report Share Posted July 24, 2014 Maybe you cant charge but as far as power out, Did you try a multimeter on the hirose at the 633 to see if anything spits out on those pins? Ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Mayer Posted July 24, 2014 Report Share Posted July 24, 2014 There is no power output from the L-Mount batteries on the 633. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

assumption Posted July 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2014 Most agreed that assumptions and rumours do get you in the end! Thanks heaps for the information everyone, looks like it will be good old NP's powering my bag.. Not to worry.. (I had no love with the multimeter either, was worth a try) Many thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soundtrane Posted July 25, 2014 Report Share Posted July 25, 2014 now, i really wonder if you wished a sony L series that was powering your recorder should also power up the other stuff on your rig. pray why? and what kind of run time do you hope to get of these L batteries then...

ninjafreddan Posted July 27, 2014 Report Share Posted July 27, 2014 Thanks heaps for the information everyone, looks like it will be good old NP's powering my bag.. Not to worry.. Smart move! A proper BDS with fuses and overload protection will save you from potential problems in the field and protect your equipment.
