I agree! Answering your question, I think Lanparte is one of the best brands. You can find their D-Tap cables made for Blackmagic Pocket.

Also keep in mind, when using a BMPCC that there is a ground looping issue. If you use your monitor plugged in to the same V-mount as the camera it can short out the HDMI as well.

I think that was the cause for him not the cable itself but just wondering if they solved that issue with BMPCC 6k G2 thx

Yes thank you for the video I just got me a bmpcc4k then they dropped the 6k but anyway how can you tell if the sensor on the 4K is defective? Because my footage is not clean and with lines like a old tv.

Hi man! The exact thing happened to me last December 2018 and within a week I had a brand-new camera back from Blackmagic. The Blackmagic customer service was great! Better use the higher end HDMI-Dtap cables!

Great video. What do you think about the 6Ks? The work flow, storage challenges and power consumption are tough enough on the 4K, but 6K? Is it really worth it given the added headache?

not too much to learn from this video. the expensive cables highlighted in the video is the same as the below version only it has a ferrite ring. you can buy ferrite rings in different sizes that you clip around any desired cabling. the ferrite ring is supposed to reduce interference and so serves things like recording and performance cables best rather than monitoring. i dont see from a technical perspective how the lead itself can can precipitate a higher or lower voltage. id be interested to see the engineers notes.

Thank you for this video. I fried my Sony A6500 and was out of business. Can you tell us what Dtap battery cable you use that isn’t a cheap one? I couldn’t tell from the pic in the vid and didn’t see it in the description. Thanks

where did you buy your new cable from? what brand is it?

As someone who builds/solders his own D-Tap cables this doesn’t make any sense. It sounds more like an issue with the monitor and NOT an issue with the power cable (unless somehow the D-Tap cable was plugged in backwards and fried the device from reverse polarity). A ferrite core can be useful on data cables (like HDMI) because it helps get rid of interference. However with power cables with a wide voltage variance, like D-Tap (11-16V), you probably won’t notice a difference. We definitely need more info

A ferrite-core hardly does anything and could even be 'harmfull' on a HDMI-cable. HDMI is about as high-frequency technique as one can get in AV-equipment (I exclude the extreme speeds of HD-SDI on that matter...) and the high-frequency block-signals running through those cables are exactly the type of signals ferrite-cores usually supress. As the cable itself is already shielded, a ferrite-clamp will provide hardly any extra supression (if at all) They work wonders on power cables as they 'short' high-frequency noise that is usually unwanted on them (It's basically a high-frequency transformer with just one winding, and it's shorted as well) I make my D-tap cables myself and this indeed does not make any sense at all.

Good stuff....think I just did the same exact thing with my BMPCC 4K. You're the only one to cover this thus far....thanks.

Nice one dude. Was just looking for other BMPCC4k shooters and found your channel. Stay tuned and keep up the good work. Love this camera! New follower

Is it safe to power my BMPCC 4K with the Feelworld plus monitor using the dc output option?

Have you got any measures for that wrong cable output for consideration? I've just measured 2 of my vlock batteries (with and without the "bad" titled cable) and both of their outputs falls between the advertised needs of my bmpcc 4k. The advertised voltages are between 10-20 volts. I barely think that any v-lock batteries are doing more than 20v's. I think the problem can caused by lover voltages instead of over volts, and if it's the case then it's not a cable it is a battery issue instead!

Which cord would you suggest?

I rather suspect there are a few other factors besides a cheap cable. When you power your camera and your monitor from the same supply, then the camera current working with the camera cable resistance causes the camera's internal ground to rise above that of the negative terminal of the battery. The same thing happens with the monitor's internal ground but because it draws a different current through a different cable, the voltage rise is different. Therefore there is a voltage difference in the internal grounds of the camera and monitor and when you connect the HDMI cable the signals are at different levels. I don't know enough about the interfaces to tell you exactly what the vulnerable component is. But I plan to avoid this issue by powering the monitor from its own battery.

I agree, to my opinion , when you use one battery with Y-cable, first power, camera and monitor, then HDMI cable. If you first power camera,then HDMI cable and if then you power monitor AND accidently, you connect "+" before "-" due to bad connector etc... the ground of the HDMI has to transfer the high current and will burn. The ferrite will not stop this... The same will happen when you remove power cables, here first remove HDMI cable.... To my opinion, a switch on the plus side of the battery could 'prevent' accidents... Switch it on when only when the cable work is done, switch it off before you remove cables... But better safe than sorry, use two batteries ;-)

The currents are by far not big enough to cause voltage-drops of any concern. I think it's either a ground-loop problem that breaks the input or output stage on the HDMI-connections than anything else. I've powered both my camera and monitor from the same battery (camera via it's mounted-by-design V-mount plate, monitor via D-tap output on the camera) and never had any issues with my HDMI-ports. Even went hotplugging them on purpose: no problem at all.

This just happen to my BM6K which was connected via HDMI to my atomos and both powered by the same V-mount battery. Cheap D-taps but interesting how after almost a year of this same setup that it just happed out of the blue. The atomos works except for the HDMI input, that doesn't work at all which means it's unusable. Can you confirm if my scenario is possibly the same cause?

Do u have a link to good dtap power adapter for monitor

Do you have or can you make a video for black magic4k tutorial on filming a music video please. I am so stuck and really don't get the settings for filming.

How understand what cable d-tap is good?

In order to send more voltage or power you will need a Voltage Booster device that can convert 5v to 35v or more... those D-TAP wires are just wires! in the worse scenario your cheap D-TAP Wire can start getting warm because the coper inside is very thin to handle the voltage consumption. I will recommend you to power the cameras without using the out DC port from the monitor. BTW The little cylinder in one of your D-TAP wires is just ferrite to reduce interference or white noise. I hope this explanation is useful to you.

I had this happen with my BMMCC. I just power my monitor with batteries now so I'm never at risk of this happening.

please can you recommend a specific d-tap power cable?

Omg Omg Omg Thank you! I went through the exact same thing with my Sony A6500. I fried it twice using a V-Mount batter back and cheap d-tap cable but has no idea why until I watched your video. 4 weeks later and Sony still has my camera even though I turned down the repair for $483. For some reason that haven’t sent it back to me yet. So, what’s a better D-Tap battery cable? I bought mine off of Amazon. Thanks

That actually is a good way to fry an HDMI input if it is susceptible to hot-plugging damage. Power down EVERYTHING (if your camera or monitor is connected to mains power, it could be a good idea to not only power it down, but also disconnect it from its mains supply), than connect your HDMI cable and turn on your equipment (order doesn't matter). SDI is by far not as bad as HDMI, as you can't connect a BNC cable without the ground contact mating first and it could very well be the output is galvanically isolated as well (hey, it's a pro connection, where HDMI is a consumer connection, pro's don't want to put up with strange problems because of ground loops or interference onto a god knows how long SDI-cable)

Which D-Tap cables do you recommend?

Great info dude 👍

In Europe they have service? now i dont have any problem, just want to know :D

Were you running the dtap to a dummy battery or to the DC power input on the side? I presume you were using a dummy battery because those need to regulated Dow to 7.4v but the cam though DC can accept 12v to 20v.

I want to create a Y cable for 2 powerbanks (in the same time) and one end that deliver power to the rig (here with another split, one for dummy and one for ninja). If any power Bank have at least 37W I can record without stop, just replace from time to time the power banks.

Black Magic sounds good over and over. The only bad I hear is that the pocket cinema models are too advanced and needs more accessories to complement it. So naturally those are from amateurs, not professionals. I'm a noob, with my first camera, an 80d.

I'm torn between the video above and the comments below. People in the comments say the cable is most likely not the issue however in the video you say this has happened to 2 other cameras and when you bought a better cable it no longer happened... I just bought a Core SWX Powerbase EDGE but its a 14 volt battery that came with a cable for the BLPCC 6k but from what I understand you can harm the circuits in the camera with any voltage over 10v. The battery puts out 14v so... Am I okay? The battery states it is made for the BLMPCC 6k

Up in Denton, had no idea you were in Dallas. Love your videos, man. Sorry about your camera...definitely taking notes.

awh man, that sucks! good lookin out! I had a cheap cable in my cinema wish list.

WTF. I use a VMount and have a DIY cable. Its working fine. I have the DTap connected directly to the BMPCC4K and a 12V out to my monitor. It's working absolutely fine. Should work on future too because everyone is getting the power is needed right?!

I have heard a different explanation for this phenomenon. I was told if you power your camera and your monitor from the same power source it can create a power loop that will fry the HDMI port in the camera. I don’t know if this is true but on all of my cameras I have followed this religiously and I have never had a problem. I have been shooting video professionally for 23 years, okay I have only been using external monitor/recorders for the last 15 years, but I have four cameras. I shoot multicam live theatre, concerts and dance shows. I have also shot two camera shoots for dance competitions that sometimes require me to shoot twelve hours continuously. I have three Ninja Vs which for the past two years have been powered by V mount batteries.

So either BM hasn't got their protection on the HDMI-connection up to standards (but hey... it still is a consumer connection... pro's use SDI) or it really is up to the cable (which I doubt, but on the other hand bad cables can cause strange things to happen if the voltage sags too much, switch mode converters are a pain as they will just draw more current as the input voltage drops, doing so to keep their output up to spec). I've tried many setups (JVC GY-HM100, HM250, HM850 and a Blackmagic Video Assist) and started hotplugging the thing via HDMI on purpose. In case of the JVC GY-HM100, it was powered by mains supply, in case of the HM250, it was powered via a 9-36 Vin to 12Vout (ISOLATED!) DC/DC converter by Murata if I'm not mistaken which in turn was fed by a V-mount battery (tried the mains supply as well), the HM850 was powered via a V-mount battery, directly powering the camera via the V-mount plate ánd monitor via D-tap, with the HDMI out connected to the monitor. As said: I started hotplugging on purpose on all occasions, but never did one output (or the input on the Video Assist) fail me once.

"My black magic broke on me man " 😅 Sorry it was funny how you said it

"Too much electricity" is not a great way to describe it. I suspect you mean "too high a voltage". Personally I would always measure the voltage before plugging in a new cable arrangement and after checking that the camera can accept that voltage. You said you were plugging the D-Tap into a dummy battery, well the real LP-E6 battery has a nominal output voltage of 7.4volts, so somewhere in between you would need a voltage regulator to reduce the voltage from the D-TAP. A fully charged LP-E6 will only ever get up to 8.4V under no load (i.e. open circuit) conditions, so make sure your dummy one is regulating to below that voltage. As a regular LP-E6 discharges its voltage will drop to around 6volts before the camera stops because of low voltage. I would aim to regulate to 7.4volts at the output terminals of the dummy battery and confirm that that is the case before plugging the dummy battery into your BMPCC4K.

I had a feeling it was related to D-Tap, I’ve heard and read so many horror stories and have seen how easy it is to mess things up or get some sort of “gotcha” moment and ruin gear, it’s a wonder anybody uses it! But I understand why it’s there and why people use it but it’s not something I would want to mess around with.

It's not related to D-tap. This guy probably doesn't know shit what he's talking about. I use D-tap all the time and it powers both my camera (JVC GY-HM850) and my monitor (Video Assist by Blackmagic). From the D-tap outlet, there's a straight-through connection to the DC-jack on the Video Assist. Even went hotplugging the HDMI and power connection on purpose, but just couldn't get any issue to arise. Same with my other camera (JVC GY-HM200): with the camera powered by a non-isolated converter (the DC-jack takes 12 Volt only as far as I know by now) and supplying power to a monitor as well, it doesn't matter what I do, it just won't break anything. I'm now working on getting a decent converter to power my mic-receiver as well, as I don't want to take even more batteries (AA's) with me while I'm walking around with a power-house on my shoulder (that it automatically turns on when fed via USB-micro (which I consider the absolute worst connection for (semi-)professional AV-stuff) is a nice extra) Though I have not been able to break anything, I prefer coldplugging. No battery on the camera, then connect everything, then place the battery.

the cable may be flawed but its not "the voltage"

Please provide more info, coz I doubt its a cable. This crap is well known. What battery plate u were using? What monitor? What V mount battery?

I did the same to my blackmagic micro, I no longer power any of my cameras from a Dtap, I have a new set of batteries that rum the same or longer than the v mount's, can run two devises at the same time and are super light, not to mention they are only $35.00 a piece, I have been using them for two years with no failures or voltage issues, by the way Blackmagic support as always been good with me but that particular camera was purchased from Adorama with the VIP 360, they replaced the camera with a new one no questions asked, there is a company out of Long Island that makes custom voltage regulated cables specific for whatever devise you are using.

My man it might not be an issue of the cheap or expensive cables. You might be maxing out the input range which is frying out your circuits. Same would happen if you power a bmpcc 4k with a v-mount through a dummy battery with a 6-10V range instead of the DC in which has a more suitable 12-20 range. Read manual carefully and adhere to the range that's provided. The 'expensive' cable that you showed an image of, has that 'lil thing' in the middle which is bringing it down from the v-mounts 14.2V output to a 6.8V output. But if it fails, you'll smoke up the camera again. Buy a v-mount plate with multiple outputs having multiple options.

Just happened to me...now I havent watched this entire video as i type this, but I understand that you cannot power the BMPCC 4k WITH a monitor on the same source.

D-tap is unfortunately a really bad design, no matter if you buy a cheap or expensive one. If pressed hard, which I know of a number of cases, you can put it in up side down pressing the halves apart just a bit resulting in reversed polarization and something electronic being fried.

Hate to flog a dead horse but lighting levels a tad low. Cheers!

I don’t see why everyone is busting your chops on the exposure. MAYBE it’s a half a stop under.
