Full details

The SmallRig 3266 USB-C to D-Tap cable is an essential power solution for videographers and camera operators who rely on wireless follow-focus systems or USB-C powered devices integrated into a professional V-Mount battery rig. This 500mm cable provides a reliable, stable 9V/18W power delivery while maintaining robust safety standards to protect sensitive gear, though it is specifically optimized for devices requiring USB-C PD/QC input and may not be suitable for high-draw devices exceeding its 18W limit.

FAQs

Does this cable support 12V output?

No, this cable is designed to provide a stable 9V output.

Can I use this to charge my laptop?

No, 18W is insufficient for most laptops, and the voltage output is specifically 9V.

Is the cable length adjustable?

The cable is a fixed 0.5m length and is not retractable.

What safety certifications does this product have?

It is compliant with CE, FCC, RoHS, and UKCA standards.

Does the cable work with Anton/Bauer D-Tap batteries?

Yes, it is compatible with standard D-Tap ports found on most V-Mount and Gold Mount batteries.

Troubleshooting

Device connected via USB-C does not turn on.

Verify that the D-Tap port on your V-Mount battery is active and that the battery has sufficient charge. Ensure the USB-C connector is fully seated in the device.

Power cycles intermittently.

Inspect the D-Tap connector for bent pins or loose fitment in the battery port. Ensure the cable is not being pulled tight during operation.

Pros and Cons

Pros

High-quality build with professional-grade shielding
Essential safety features including over-voltage protection
Universal V-Mount battery compatibility via D-Tap
Compact and lightweight design (38g)

Cons

Limited to 18W, not suitable for high-power devices like cinema cameras
Length is fixed at 0.5m which may be too short for large shoulder rigs
Output is strictly 9V, limiting compatibility with 5V or 12V-only USB-C devices

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up your power connection, insert the D-Tap connector into the output port of your V-Mount battery. Connect the USB-C end into your follow-focus motor or target device. Ensure the device input supports 9V power delivery. Regarding care, avoid sharply kinking the cable at the strain-relief points to maintain internal wire integrity. While the PVC jacket is durable, it is best to store the cable loosely coiled rather than folded tightly. Regularly inspect the D-Tap pins for debris or oxidation to ensure a clean electrical connection, and keep the connectors dry, as the cable is not waterproof.
