Pocket 6k Pro + NP-F Plate issue
Posted: Sat Aug 20, 2022 11:18 amHi everyone,
Recently I`ve upgraded my setup from BMPCC4k to BMPCC6K Pro(7.9.1 firmware), and everything with my new camera if fine except one thing, which is sort of a major one:
I`ve bought external NP-F battery plate (Smallrig 3093 & Smallrig EB2698) and tried to power my camera with several NP-F970 batteries using 2pin cable via 12v OUT port on battery plate. Each time I did that, I got 1-10 minutes of working time, then camera just shut down. Issue persists on 2 plates, with all 5 batteries that I have. I`ve tried doing that with/without internal battery - result was still the same.
I was thinking that maybe there is an issue with 12v port in camera, but when I use powersupply which comes with camera, it powers camera via 12v port without issues for hours. I didn`t have chance to test V-Mount battery, but I am sure there will be no problems with that.
What do you guys think? What could be the reason of such short working time with external batteries via NP-F Plate?
