This is perfect! And I just got the articulating screen kit for my BMPCC and I can install an SSD inside the camera now to record on. My whole set up will practically be the size of a DSLR.

great video. since i received my camera in November, i have been powering my pocket off my gimbal at 14.8v through the dc port on the camera and additionally having the internal battery in also , this has saved me when my gimbal battery's were out and then my internal battery took over. im also in process of rigging up my steady cam with arm and vest with the atomos ninja inferno monitor and trying 2 of these battery's in the inferno , but wiring the 7 v dc out of each battery in series getting me that 14v for the pocket dc in, and still able to have the internal batt in. Great video just what i needed to fig out my steady cam battery and monitor solution

this is a great video! you helped me a lot!

great video

Okay so I bought this and I've realized that once the battery reaches below half way, the voltage through the DC port is too low to turn on the BMPCC4K. So the best way to use this battery is to use the dummy LPE6 to DC in since it will run the camera at a lower voltage (6volts) and let you use the remaining power until zero.

Pretty exciting! Would love to see, how things change with bmraw 12:1 and the Blackmagic monitor turned off

Wow this is awesome ! Talk about saving money over v mount batteries !

Great Video. 👉HOWEVER... According to Blackmagic, under powering the 12v port (10v-16v are acceptable) WILL damage the camera after extensive use. Use the dummy battery OR a 12v plate. Another issue is that there are reports of power being fed back to the 4K via the HDMI ports when powering the camera in this manor and that causes long term damage. I would love to get a definitive statement from BM on this because this is an AMAZING way to power everything. This has been discussed many times on the BM forums and on BMPCC4K facebook groups.

Did you find a response or solution? I own 3 of these batteries and I'd love to power the camera via a Blind Spot Power Junkie with a WEIPU 2.5" cable

That's a really cool battery being NPF should work for a lot of stuff, monitors, LED panels etc.

THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! I just can't say it enough. I have 3 blackmagic cameras bmpcc, bmmcc and the 4k. These batteries are perfect for all 3 and provide plenty of juice in a much smaller package than the juicebox battery pack I was using previously. I purchased 4 of them and have dummy batteries for 2 of the cameras and a straight plate adapter for the BMMCC. Works flawlessly and without the monitor I filled up the the Samsung T5 SSD 1TB without running out of battery. That was recording at 4k DCI Constant Quality Q0. So this battery is more than enough to record hours and hours with 2 batteries of the camera's highest quality. This video transformed all 3 of my cameras making my rigs all smaller and lighter with plenty of power. Can't wait to add the field monitor coming tomorrow.

Heads up guys... for owners of the BMPCC 6K, only the LP-E6 dummy adaptor will work with this method. If you power the camera via the 12V Weipu input with a standard NP-F battery you will only get a few seconds of power before the camera shuts down - even with a fully charged NP-F battery.

Great video. [11 ounces = 311grams or 0.3kg] I would only suggest giving the weights in metric as well, as only the USA and about 2 other countries officially use imperial, IIRC. Rest of the world is using metric. I'm sure most of your audience is in USA but we are on the internet after all. Your reach is global. Thanks for your very useful video. And hope I wasn't coming off too negative.

How do you compare this to the battery usage of the Moza Air? Also, am I able to fit the sd card holder, feelworld, and a shot gun mic on a half cage or is the full cage a must?

Cool - would there be a way to go from the battery to the DC input on the camera and skip the dummy battery altogether?

How does the WD Blue drive work for you? Is it reliable at the highest quality setting? Also, in regards to the SSD case/caddy: is it reliable for swapping drives in and out?

Impressive indeed. Thanks for the effort. But would the camera sitting there, doing the same image, not skew the results? Moving images and lots of variation (like real life) would presumably be way more taxing on the power?

It would be interesting to see how much the battery life has improved after installing the new firmware update this week. I have noticed much longer battery with my P4K and I use the camera to provide phantom power to my mic, so that's a double whammy on my battery. I did not get an exact time, didn't think about that till now, but I'm pretty sure I was getting close to 40 min on the stock battery.

Does this gives you any kind of trouble like frying the hdmi port? I read online that using the same power source for the monitor and camera could actually do that.

This is a great solution HOWEVER be aware that these batteries do not last very long. After just a couple of months I started getting half the battery life or less. The batteries will read 2 and even 3 bars of life left and yes it will run the camera BUT as soon as you hit record it does not have enough voltage to run everything and will shut off. The solution would be to get higher end name brand batteries and run it off the newer battery plates like the power junkie, tiltas plate, or the small rig plate.

The camera just shuts down if not enough current so no, it won’t damage the camera but you should note that if it powers down during a take, you will lose that entire take and not be able to recover what you shot. Best use for this solution is to keep the stock battery that comes with the camera in the battery compartment in the camera so if you do run down below the required voltage on the NPF it’ll switch to the in-cam battery and you can keep recording for about another 20 mins before having to change up.

@@Ironmanhhh I think you should use a proven one there have been reports that not all SSD are compatible and it may also depend on the enclosure. The 860 is a very common ssd and I'm sure the speed is plenty fast enough for 4K 4:1 but you should read up on a list of currently compatible storage solutions

@@bmpcc4ktech852 What about BRAW 3:1 60fps? Can this drive handle it?

The dummy battery lasted longer because you unplugged the SSD halfway through, once you're recording on an SSD its takes alot more battery life, i wonder how much would it last on the SSD alone

Was there a battery already in the BMPC4K?

William Su the camera was powered by the NPF PowerExtra battery alone.

Use the battery holder that bumps up the voltage to 12V.

Larry Vaughn that makes no sense since I am powering the monitor and camera with the same battery and have a place to mount it that is discrete.

Anyone else, stable sessions ?

I would be concerned powering the camera with 7.2-7.4v battery into a 12v input. Also how do we know in this test that there wasn't a battery in the camera as well.

would any SSD work?

A few of my older SSD dont work but I posted links for Amazon and Ebay. Thank you for watching.

would love to know how long it lasts without the external monitor!

The 6K with 120 HFR will not work this way, (not enough power) plus the min your meant to go on the cameras 12v input for both the 4k and 6k os 10v,,,,NOT 7.4v. You have to get a dummy LPE6 batter which is allowed to 7.4v input.

Worked for me last night testing it but today recording failures everytime. Now it won't even work without a battery inside the camera at the same time as the external solution. I would not recommend this to people as a "reliable" solution. Use the Smallrig grey Sony battery option or a V mount as part of a rig. I would love for this option to be dependable but it's not ready for primetime. -Jay

Recording failures are related to media speeds and not power source. I read on some forums that BMD did not recommend using external power via the weipu with a battery installed. If that is true then even a v-mount with a lpe6 installed will not work. Everyone should take precaution when testing and results may vary. Equipment failure may happen for many reasons and may not be directly related to the battery.

@@jayfortech7279 interesting that BMD marketed the T5 ssd from the beginning and that is the only ssd I know of that works intermittently and has consistency issues. The power source does not effect dropped frames. Good luck with your setup.

Blackmagic should not have used the small Canon battery. They should of made the battery compartment a lot bigger and used these bigger batteries in your video. I personally hate getting and rigging up 3rd party devices with so many cables etc. Blackmagic should think to include everything in the one solid unit. Then the fixed at the back monitor. How dumb. Should have followed the Panasonic example like in the Gh4/5.
