The SmallRig 5315 combines two useful parts of a camera rig into one setup: an adjustable Arca-type plate and a V-Lock battery mounting system. It is designed for filmmakers and videographers who want to add V-mount power to their camera rig while keeping the setup practical and easy to reposition.
Instead of treating the battery as something that simply hangs off the back of the rig, the 5315 gives you a dedicated mounting solution that can be incorporated into a more organized camera setup.
Adjustable Arca-Type Plate
The adjustable Arca-type plate gives you more flexibility when positioning your camera or rig. You can adjust the mounting position to suit your particular setup, which is useful when working with different cameras, cages, or support systems.
This is especially handy when you regularly switch between setups and need to find the right balance point.
V-Lock Battery Mount
The built-in V-Lock battery mount is designed for compatible V-mount batteries. These larger batteries are commonly used in professional video production because they can provide power for cameras and accessories during longer shoots.
With the SmallRig 5315, you can integrate a V-mount battery into your rig without relying on a separate battery plate.
A Practical Power Solution for Camera Rigs
Adding a V-mount battery can make a big difference when your camera setup includes several power-hungry accessories.
The 5315 provides a dedicated mounting point for the battery, helping keep the overall setup organized.
Useful for Cinema and Mirrorless Rigs
The SmallRig 5315 can be useful when building both compact and more advanced video rigs. Its Arca-type mounting design makes it particularly convenient for setups that already use Arca-style plates or compatible support equipment.
You can build a setup around your camera cage and then add the V-Lock battery mount as your power requirements grow.
Better Rig Organization
Power cables can quickly become messy when several accessories are connected to a camera. Positioning the battery in a suitable location helps keep those cables shorter and easier to manage.
As a result, the 5315 can contribute to a cleaner rig that is easier to handle during handheld shooting, tripod work, or production on a larger set.
Built for Production Work
SmallRig accessories are widely used for building modular camera rigs, and the 5315 follows that same approach.
It’s a useful option for filmmakers who want to move toward a V-mount-powered workflow without completely rebuilding their camera rig.
