The UV power pack uses 18650 cells, the output for the LED is current regulated.  I could modify it to provide a full current output via an XLR socket or similar.  I need to keep weight down because I intend to use this kit on mountain tops.  The camera, lens and tripod with the mount will be heavy enough without adding heavy lead acid batteries.  I don't expect sessions longer than a couple of hours, the current draw for the motor is 300mA so well less then 1Ah for two hours use (I think!).

I thought you were using 18650 batteries.  Four of those in series will power the motor.

There are Seagull magnifying right angled eyepieces that also work on D3.  I have one in Spain.   Great for macro work.
