I ended up purchasing the Small Rig NP-F plate, where I can attach a large NP-F970 from the 7.4V out to a 2-pin cable into the 6K Pro. With this set-up I can get about 100 mins of power and record time. When I do a similar test using the Small Rig V-Mount adapter and a 14.8V brick, I get about 2 hours.
My question is pretty simple, as best I can tell based on the specs in the manual rates the 2-pin DC input on the camera between 10.8 to 20V. Sp, should I be surprised that the NP-F set-up (at 7.4V) is working at all, let alone as good as it is?
I'm inclined to go this route due to cost savings and smaller size and weight of the 2 battery options, but want to make sure I'm not missing anything.
uhm... something of strange, mine (6k not pro) not turn on with 7.4v.
i use tilta plate with nfp990 10,4A 74.9W and i have since 4h hours of recording braw with external ssd connected and without using stabilizer of lens.
6k (and i think the same on 6k pro) require 25w/h, if you keep battery inside draw 30w/h.
with a 970 should work for more than two hours.
may be that giving a 7.4v force internal converter to work more and consume faster the battery.
