Battery adapter for Beaulieu 3008 S, 5008 S

• Replacement for the original battery: The adapter replaces the defective or unaffordable original battery and brings your Beaulieu back to life.
• Exact voltage thanks to integrated custom PCB: The circuit board provides the required 7.2V for the motor and 3.6V for the light meter.
• More than double the capacity of the original: 6 standard AAA NiMh batteries are enough for over 20 cartridges on a single charge.
• Plug & Play instead of tinkering: Insert batteries, slide in the adapter, done.
• Metal casing with metal thread: The improved MK2 version has a sturdy metal casing with a metal thread on the screw cap (unlike in the video, see pictures).

Safety Instructions

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 and unscrew the robust metal thread of the cap 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 developed by us and manufactured in Germany. 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 a stable and robust power supply that allows you to film over 20 cartridges on a single charge. You have the choice: go for the Eco Set if you already have plenty of 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 is working in the camera.
