Hey everyone, recently I got one of these:

Clarion VMA5091 5 inch LCD Headrest Monitor: PDF Manual

I was planning to put it in my VX somewhere, but I think I am going to keep looking for a smaller LCD.

So now I have this 5 inch LCD headrest monitor. I want to use it as an external monitor for my video camera, so I can see what I am shooting when I have my camera on the crane. The LCD has inputs for video, so that is no problem, but I need a way to power it via batteries or something.

So, my question is for anyone with electronics experience. Can I just go to like Radio Shack and buy some battery housing and wire up the LCD to that? Or will the current have to to inverted somehow because this LCD is made to be powered by a car battery? Is this even possible or would it be a waste of time/money?

I really don't know much about electrical wiring, so any help would be great. I want to put this thing to use.

Thanks - Bart
