EXDC1 --- 4-pin XLR to DC adapter cable for PMW-EX1

The EXDC1 is a heavy-duty cable that has a regular 4-pin XLR power connector on one end and Sony's non-standard EX1 power connector on the other end. Now you can power your the PMW-EX1 or PMW-EX3 camcorders with any professional 12v battery or AC adapter that you already own. It also works with the PMW-EX30, the SBAC-US10, and even the PDW-U1 XDCAM HD optical disk drive for complete mobile editing without any AC power.

Note: The power source you use must meet the required specifications for the camera or drive. The EXDC1 is sold as a “stand alone” product and is simply a “pass through” that meets the polarity standards of the Sony XDCAM EX cameras when used with industry standard 4 Pin XLR power configurations. Due to the fact that this cable is a “pass through” with no voltage regulation, It is the user’s responsibility, when using the EXDC1, to ensure that power sources meet both the polarity and voltage requirements of their camera or equipment.

and other times when you just need something fast and easy.
However, they do not have a front lens opening or viewfinder opening
so they are NOT recommended for long-term, all-day shooting out in wet weather.
