Hi All
Does anyone know if the BM Studio Camera 4K Plus G2 has an input voltage range and where this is documented?

According to the online tech specs it requires 12v DC but I cannot find online or in the manual any mention of an upper and lower voltage limit.
I am interested in using D-Tap but that is non regulated and can be as high as 14.5v DC.
There are some D-Tap cables with built in 12v DC regulator however purchasing that requires me to know the answer to my next question.
The online tech specs mention that the 12v DC input is 5.5mm but is that 2.5mm x 5.5mm (aka 5525) or 2.1mm x 5.5mm (5521)

Thanks

Just in case it helps anyone, I have since received the BM Studio Camera 4K Plus G2 and can confirm it use a 5525 (5.5mm x 2.5mm) locking power input connector

The online manual has also since been updated to include the following lines:

TIP: Blackmagic Studio Cameras have power inputs that are rated for a voltage range of 12-18V so you can use standard 14V batteries or 14V block batteries. Connect these batteries to your camera using either the small barrel connector or the large 4-pin XLR input.

Locking Power Input The 12-18 Volt DC locking power connector accepts the AC power supply that is provided with your camera. The locking ring prevents accidental disconnection. You can also use this connector to plug in a battery power supply if AC power is not available.

I am therefore successfully using the Kondor Blue Coiled D-Tap to Locking DC 2.5mm Right Angle Cable
(KB-DCTAP-2.5LOCK) from a V-Mount battery

Kind regards
Dan

Hi,
I'm successfully using all kinds of batteries on the G2, including small 800mAh LiPo 3S packs from my RC times, and also self-boxed LiFePO4 Packs giving me 6 and 8 Ah, depending on the size.

regards,
Mike

[EDIT] sorry, thought we are talking about the Micro Studio G2, but anyways, it is definitely using the same electronics there...

What kind of V-mount battery do you use?
