I assume it works with Sony NP-F batteries?

Could someone with Blackmagic Design please let me know what type of power connector the BMCC requires? I've got a nice external 12v battery solution by using NP25 12v-4.0Ah batteries (yup.. good ole hershey bars) and box donated from my old JVC dv500 and just need to adapt it for the BMCC by attaching the proper connector... I am not doing the conversion myself, but having a qualified camera tech do it because I know I'll screw it up..

Thanks!

Please refer to this post.

Thank you for your very quick reply Kaspar!

We have several solutions coming on to the market very soon. Tests show the first product the range can more than double the runtime of the camera, yet it is a compact, onboard item which won't impact on the camera's mobility.

Keep an eye on our website!

Very nice!!

What is the retail price for the DV-BMS ?

Great solution for "on-set" shot, but isnt good for "run and gun" shot.

Adorama has a nice bundle offer going on with the Switronix battery and charger when one purchases a BMCC. Bundle price is $3095... so you're basically paying $96 for a $300 battery solution.

Of course, this is only helpful for people just ordering a camera now...

Anyone remember or still have the 12v Dewalt battery adapter to xlr four pin? I still have one plus some 12v belts I would love to use to power the camera. Is anyone making a 12v four-pin xlr to BMCC input? Also, anyone making a viewfinder hood/loupe like the zfinder or hoodman for outdoor and handheld shots?
