RE: Eclair ACL Battery Options
Sounds like a good idea to me. No reason why the XLRs couldn't
support a set of AAs so long as the XLRs are mounted firmly.
Can you get a panel mount 4XLR that is not recessed? It could
protrude from the battery pack, which would allow the pack to hug the
camera, reducing the leverage on the connector.

Hi Warren,
What if I mounted female xlr socket into the case itself and just
plugged it directly into the male xlr on the pilotone module? Do you
think the xlr connector is robust enough to handle it? The batteries
are pretty small and not very heavy.

work fine. I also have an XLR pigtail coming off my batteries.
When I change mags, I take the batteries off the mags (they're
velcroed
on)
and let 'em dangle for a minute. They don't get in the way. I
have a
good
stress relief on the battery, and XL connectors are solid, so the
pigtail
can easily take the strain of hanging for a minute. No problem,
really.
I
justs used some zip cord for the cable.
