Powering BMPCC 4K & Besview R6 from one NPF Plate - Ground L
Posted: Sun May 04, 2025 5:56 pmHi everyone,
I have a setup question regarding my BMPCC 4K and Besview R6 monitor.
Currently, I'm powering both devices using a single NPF-970 battery plate/adapter.
The plate's DC 12V/3A output goes to the BMPCC 4K.
The plate's DC 8V/3A output goes to the Besview R6 monitor.
Everything seems to be working fine right now. However, I have two main concerns:
Potential HDMI Ground Loop Issue: Is powering both the camera and the monitor (which are connected via HDMI) from the same power source (the NPF plate) likely to cause an HDMI ground loop feedback issue down the line? I'm worried this could potentially fry the HDMI port on my BMPCC 4K in the future, even though it works now. Has anyone experienced issues with similar setups?
Severely Bent HDMI Cable: I'm using an HDMI cable clamp on my camera cage for strain relief. However, this forces the HDMI cable into quite a sharp bend right at the connector going into the camera port. Could this severe bend cause any long-term problems, like signal degradation, damage to the cable internally, or even put stress on the camera's HDMI port itself?
Any advice, experiences, or potential solutions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance.
