Can someone explain?
Hi Felix, this system I've shown is one which I've had for a year which uses Hawk-wood's own NPF batteries which have terminals on the top of the battery to allow the connection convertor box shown in the photos to be attached. When used with a camera like the Sony FS700, it allows you to both power the camera and also power additional items from the connection box, i.e. monitors, onboard lights etc.
I've been working with Hawk-woods on a new prototype powering system for the BMCC which you can see below. This one takes any Sony NPF battery and allows you to continually power the camera by just swapping batteries. I've used it for about a week so far and it's been great.
