Metal Triple P-TAP D-tap Splitter Cable - Three-Way Power Breakout

Our review of the Metal Triple P-TAP D-tap Splitter finds it best suited for camera operators and small film crews who need to power multiple accessories from a single battery. The standout reason to buy is its simple, dependable way to convert one D-TAP into three P-TAP ports with a compact metal breakout box and a spring cable that keeps connections neat. The review focuses on real-world usability: durable metal shell construction, a useful 1/4' and Ronin 2 screw thread for mounting, and a spring line that stretches up to 65cm so monitors, wireless receivers and lights can be powered without extra adapters.

Key Features

• Triple P-TAP output: Expands a single D-TAP into three P-TAP ports so multiple accessories can run from one camera battery.
• Metal breakout box: A solid metal shell provides a compact 70mm x 25mm x 18.4mm housing that resists wear on set.
• Spring cable: Normal length 35cm with a maximum stretch to 65cm so connected devices sit where you need them while reducing cable slack.
• Mounting threads: Built-in 1/4' screw thread and Ronin 2 screw thread let you secure the breakout on cages, arms or brackets for stable placement.
• Versatile power routing: Designed for powering wireless receivers, on-board monitors and small lights from a single battery without additional hubs.

Who It's For

The Metal Triple P-TAP is aimed at videographers, gimbal operators and indie filmmakers who already use D-TAP batteries and want a compact way to feed multiple P-TAP accessories. Its metal housing and mounting threads make it practical for rigged setups where a breakout needs to be fixed to a cage, arm or Ronin style mount.

It is not targeted at consumers who need long, permanent cable runs or those needing integrated voltage conversion - this is a simple passive splitter best used for powering a cluster of small accessories from the same battery source.
