Hello Philippe,
The mains-power supply I am going to use has partnumber 14452. Indeed, I
also use this supply for use in studio photography. I made a special
adapter to be able to use the remote control 14202 in combination with this
powersupply.
For outdoor use, in extreme weatherconditions, I am making a special
extarnal portable battery (8V DC, arround 4 Amp) which can be put under my
clothes to keep it warm. This battery is connected by a coiled cable to the
small 8-pin-connector on the DMR.
In the past Leica made such devices for the R4-Motor-drives. Unfortunately
we have to make these things now by ourselves. Fortunately this is quite
easy, if you have the rigtht connectors.
(Franz Binder, Germay/ subminiature round connectors series 702 and 711)
Kind regards,
Fred Hess
