Common questions
What does the LitePad Anton/Bauer adaptor connect to?
Any power supply with an Anton/Bauer (12 V DC) connector, per Rosco. The other end is a female 2.1 x 5.5 mm barrel for the LitePad.
What’s the maximum load?
12 V DC at 5 A maximum.
Can I run more than one LitePad?
Yes, through a Y Splitter or 4-Way Spider, as long as the total stays under 5 A and within the source’s rating.
Check your battery or power source output suits the LitePad before connecting. Check the combined current draw of every LitePad on a circuit against the rating of the power source and every cable in the chain, and test the setup before the shoot or show. Specifications are from Rosco data and are a guide only.
