Micro Voltmeter D-Tap/P-Tap Splitter - Compact Battery Voltage Monitor

In this review of the Micro Voltmeter D-Tap/P-Tap Splitter, the bottom line is simple: this tiny meter is for camera operators and rig builders who need a fast, accurate voltage readout from professional battery systems without bulk. The unit's 0.96 in color LCD and industry-standard D-Tap connector make it an easy fit into an existing power setup, and LANZYKU's aluminum construction and internal power conditioning give confidence on location. It is primarily valuable when you want a compact monitor that mounts to a rig and provides clear, reliable voltage information at a glance.

Key Features

• Color LCD: The 0.96 in color display provides a clear, immediate voltage readout so you can spot a dying battery before it affects a shoot.
• D-Tap Input Range: The D-Tap accepts 11.0 V to 33.6 V DC so it works with common camera battery systems used on ARRI, RED, Sony and other kits.
• Built-in Safety: A power conditioner protects against reverse-polarity and ESD, reducing the chance of a damaging connection error on set.
• Durable Build: Machined from a single 6061 aluminum billet and anodized for wear resistance, the housing stands up to rig use and outdoor conditions.
• Flexible Cable: The 17.7 in Japan electric wire is high-purity multi-strand copper for low resistance and a more accurate voltage display under load.
• Mounting Options: With a 1/4-20 screw thread and four 1/4-20 holes, it mounts to cages, arms, or plates without needing custom adapters.

Who It's For

The Micro Voltmeter suits cinematographers, gaffers, and camera assistants who work with gold-mount or D-Tap battery systems and need a small, quick-reference voltage meter on a rig or monitor arm. Its compact size and multiple mounting points make it useful for handheld, gimbal, and studio rigs where every ounce and inch matter.

It is less suitable for users who need a full-featured battery manager with load switching, charging, or multiple outputs; this is a simple voltmeter and splitter intended for monitoring rather than power distribution or charging control.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Compact color LCD gives an easy-to-read voltage measurement without adding bulk to a rig.
• Robust aluminum construction and anodized finish resist wear in professional use.
• Wide input range and built-in protection improve compatibility and safety across battery types.
• Multiple mounting points and 1/4-20 threads make attachment straightforward on most accessories.

Cons

• Does not offer advanced battery management features like load switching or charging control.
• Very small display may be harder to read at longer distances compared with larger meters.
