We are expanding our portfolio with a versatile new adapter, the Coco-Vmicro2. Compatible with two Vmicro batteries of any capacity, the Coco-Vmicro2 allows for battery replacement during camera operation thanks to its Hotswap function. As a junction box, it features numerous outputs for accessories and can also be used as a charging station through the integrated D-Tap connector. The Coco-Vmicro2 is perfect for all V-Mount cine cameras, including the new Sony Burano.
One adapter, numerous applications
The Coco-Vmicro2 is based on two V-Mount adapter plates for Vmicro batteries with Hotswap and charging functions, as well as additional outputs for connecting accessories. Both slots are compatible with Vmicro batteries of any capacity (45Wh, 98Wh, 150Wh, or 200Wh) – once the first battery is depleted, the second one is automatically activated to power the camera. The status of each battery’s charge can be checked using two five-stage LED indicators on both sides of the adapter. With the DC-In D-Tap connector on the Coco-Vmicro2, the connected batteries can be charged directly on the camera using an S1micro fast charger.
Various outputs allow for the connection and power supply of versatile accessories – be it monitors, camera lights, microphones, or transmitters. Thus, the Coco-Vmicro2 expands the range of possibilities, especially for particularly minimally equipped cine cameras, such as the new Sony Burano.
The new adapter measures 90 x 140 x 35 mm (W x H x D) and weighs 620 grams.
Soon also available for A-Mount (Gold-Mount compatible) batteries
In November, we will also release a Gold-Mount compatible version of the same adapter, the Coco-Amicro2.

bebob presents the Green CUBE, a pioneering technology study for sustainable power supply on set. The portable block battery uses sodium-ion technology for energy storage – these do not require critical raw materials, are easier to recycle and have a reduced risk of fire and explosion compared to lithium-ion batteries. Like the proven bebob Cube 1200, the environmentally friendly Green CUBE is suitable for a variety of applications on set.
The Coco-Double is specifically designed for high-performance lights and cameras and is suitable for use with both 24V and 48V. It can convert two 24V B-Mount batteries into a 48V power source or, under 24V, achieve double the runtime compared to a single B-Mount battery.
