AAA battery adapter for Beaulieu 3008 S, 5008 S

• Original battery defective or unaffordable? Our modern solution reliably brings your Beaulieu legend back to life.
• Worried about wrong voltage? The integrated custom PCB delivers exactly the required 7.2V for the motor and 3.6V for the light meter.
• Battery constantly empty on set? Use 6 standard AAA NiMh batteries for more than double the capacity of the original (over 20 cartridges).
• Don’t feel like tinkering? Plug & Play: insert batteries, slide in the perfectly fitting adapter, done.
• Update Version MK2: Now with a robust metal casing with metal thread (different from the video, see pictures).

Note:

ALWAYS charge the AAA batteries in an external NiMh charger (included in the set), NEVER in the original Beaulieu charger or via the camera socket – fire hazard! Please always screw the robust metal thread of the cap in and out carefully.

Description:

The Beaulieu 3008 and 5008 are undoubtedly among the best Super 8 cameras ever made – if it weren’t for the annoying battery situation. Our adapter is the definitive solution to this problem. It was precisely designed by us and made from technical plastic (PLA+). The cap is equipped with a robust metal thread that ensures a secure closure. Thanks to the specially developed circuit board, the adapter guarantees the exact voltage supply for the motor and light meter.

The result is an absolutely reliable and robust power supply that lets you film over 20 cartridges on a single charge. You have the choice: go for the Eco Set if you’re already well equipped with batteries, or take the All Inclusive Set for an immediate start. For professionals, we recommend ordering a second adapter (without cap) and a transport box. This way, you can charge one set while the other performs in the camera.
