The short version: 26V Gold Mount Plus battery brackets for the ARRI Alexa LF, 65 and SXT, in single or twin shark fin versions.
What you'd use it for
These brackets bolt onto the back of the ARRI Alexa LF, 65 and SXT and let you run the camera from 26V batteries. A small OLED screen shows you the voltage, and two regulated 15V P-Taps power your accessories.
Because those P-Taps are regulated, you can swap a Dionic 26V battery without pulling the accessory cables. There is also a prioritised 2 pin DC input for a block battery, with the onboard battery acting as a hot swap backup. Both versions also work with the Anton Bauer VCLX, so the camera never has to power down during a swap.

Which one do I pick? Standard (8075-0253) carries one 26V battery. Sharkfin (8075-0254) carries two, so you can hot swap between them and never cut power.
- Pair with Dionic 26V batteries, or a CINE VCLX for long days.
