Wooden Camera D-Box – Gold Mount

Overview
D-Box (URSA Mini, URSA Mini Pro / 12K, Gold Mount) is a custom version of our popular D-Box that adds power distribution, standardised remote start/stop, and swap capability to the Blackmagic URSA Mini Pro / 12K, EF Mount, PL Mount, and B4 Mount cameras. It attaches directly to the back of the camera body using a special Molex connector and interfaces with the rear LANC port for camera control.

The D-Box features various connectors such as D-Tap (12V unregulated), USB (5V regulated), 2 pin LEMO (12V unregulated with ARRI standard wiring), 3 pin Fischer (24V regulated with built-in regulator for ARRI standard start/stop capabilities), and DC input (12-16V with Mini 4pin XLR and included pigtail cable). When both battery and DC input are used, the D-Box prioritizes the DC input to preserve battery charge. It is important to note that the OEM AC Power Supply provided with the camera may not be sufficient for powering the D-Box with accessories, and a higher rated unit is recommended.

About the Wooden Camera D-Box – Gold Mount
D-Box (URSA Mini, URSA Mini Pro / 12K, Gold Mount) is a custom version of our popular D-Box that adds power distribution, standardised remote start/stop, and swap capability to the Blackmagic URSA Mini Pro / 12K, EF Mount, PL Mount, and B4 Mount cameras. The D-Box attaches directly to the back of the camera body using a special Molex connector eliminating external cabling. It also interfaces with the rear LANC port which is how the D-Box controls the camera’s run/stop.

Connectors on the D-Box are contoured in line with the URSA Mini body, streamlining port connections and cable management. The module also provides two 3pin Fischer ports, allowing start/stop with any ARRI standard trigger device.

The D-Box is equipped with a Mini 4pin XLR DC Input and includes a Mini 4pin XLR to Full 4pin XLR pigtail cable allowing an AC Power Supply or External Power Plate to be connected to power the camera and accessories during a battery change. When both battery and DC input are utilised, the D-Box defaults to the DC input, leaving the battery fully charged. The OEM AC Power Supply provided with the Ursa Mini Pro does not have a high enough amperage rating to power a D-box with accessories or perform a Hot Swap from battery power to DC input. Wooden Camera offers a higher rated unit for these requirements: 15V Power Supply (4pin XLR Female) – 231000.

Authentic Anton Bauer Gold Mount plate provides 2x D-Tap (unregulated) on the power plate itself but we should note that one D-Tap may be obscured by the right side BNC connectors when in use. The camera receives an unfused connection to the power source and the D-Box connectors share a 7.5A fuse. When using D-Box battery modules it is important to know what amount of power your batteries are capable of providing. Most high-end cinema batteries can supply up to 10A with the URSA Mini camera generally consuming 3-4A in standard configuration. Although the remaining power is available from the D-Taps, LEMO compatible connectors, Fischers, etc., it is best to limit the power draw to 5A or less for best results. Consuming more power than a battery is capable of providing will cause the battery to shut itself off, killing the camera and accessory power.
