JVC HD110 on Flyer - IDX D-Tap power questions

This could be simple. Can anyone share their experience on this situation please.

Camera:

- JVC HD110

- IDX V Type Plate installed (converts 14 to 7.2 volts)

- (FYI: Camera operates 7.2 volts thro AC adapter)

Steadicam:

- Flyer with IDX V Type

Questions:

- I would like to draw power frm the sled IDX batteries and power the camera.

- In future, may want to power a small Transmitter (say 12 to 14 volts) frm sled IDX

Current plan:

- Buy two D-Tap connectors and run frm sled battery to the IDX plate behind the camera. I think the IDX plate can not only send power out, but also can receive power thro the D-Tap. Perhaps there is no circuitry (diodes and such). This way, I can send power frm Sled to the V plate on the back of the camera. The plate will end up doing he conversion of 14 to 7.2 volts.

I did find some D-Tap cable (FS-CABLE-KIT). Is there something similar that I can buy or build easily?

- Also, at some point, I do want to see other easy ways to power any simple transmitter (12 to 14 volts) frm the sled.

Are there any simple solutions for my questions?
