Premium Members Mark Calver Posted April 19, 2008 Premium Members Report Share Posted April 19, 2008 ok so I want took apart a drill and I wired it to run my hand held directors monitor. I havent plugged it in yet because I am scared. The battery is 18v but the monitor only needs 9v will I fry the monitor if i give it double the power?

Premium Members Jess Haas SOC Posted April 20, 2008 Premium Members Report Share Posted April 20, 2008 Yes you will. I would suggest using 9v batteries or getting a voltage regulator that will regulate the voltage down to what it needs to be. ~Jess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members RonBaldwin Posted April 20, 2008 Premium Members Report Share Posted April 20, 2008 surely a cinematographer/steadicam op such as yourself knows that a little lisagav on the contacts will rectify over-voltage issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron, I'm starting to think you're on the lisagav payroll.(guess that's one way to pay for those trips to the gas station with the hummer.)
