Creative Installation Methods: The RC 100B can be flexibly connected to accessories such as a magic arm or clamp via the 1/4” treaded hole to achieve lighting setups in places where it is inconvenient to use a light stand.

Power Supply
The RC 100B comes with BP interface/ USB-C interface/ mini XLR interface, allowing direct connection to V-mount batteries/ NP-F battery plate with NP-F970 batteries/ battery grips for mobile power supply, or continuous wall outlet power supply via PD chargers/ AC to DC adapters (optional).

To ensure fully output of the gear, it is recommended that users use V-mount batteries of 98Wh or above (V-mount battery voltage should not exceed 35V)/ USB-C PD power supplies of 100W or above/AC to DC adapters to power the RC 100B. Additionally, when powering the RC 100B with a USB-C PD power supply of 100W or above, please use a USB-C to USB-C charging cable that complies with the PD 3.1 specification. (The standard version includes a PD 3.1 charging cable)

Please note that if the power of the USB-C power supply is less than 100W, such as a USB-C PD power bank providing only 45W output power, the illumination output of the RC 100B will only reach around 45%. Furthermore, due to limitations in the peak output of different brands of V-mount batteries/ NP-F batteries, using batteries below the NP-

F970 specification or V-mount Battery below 98Wh may cause abnormal operation of the gear/battery. Using two NP-F970 batteries will only provide approximately 60% of the maximum illumination output for the RC 100B.

The RC 100B features a low battery alert function. When the external battery power is detected to be below 12V, a low battery alert will be triggered. Please replace the battery promptly or connect to another power source. Overheating protection:
To ensure the long-term stable operation of the RC 100B, it is recommended to store and use this equipment in accordance with the temperature, humidity, and environment mentioned in the “Important Prompt” The RC 100B features a built-in overheating protection function. If the temperature of the COB Chip exceeds the limitation of 100℃/ 212℉, the gear will activate overheating protection status. Overheating protection:
