BM pocket 4K powered from V-lock?

Is it alright to power a Blackmagic Pocket 4K, from a V-lock batt at 16 V?
I am reluctant to test it...

Would likely be best to supply regulated voltage, but the camera will accept 12-20VDC from your V-lock battery via D-tap to the 2-pin power connector. The cable to support this is now available from various places including your BMD reseller.
