This Power Grid & XLR Audio Box from IndiPRO Tools allows you to power your Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera with two LP-E6 batteries for extended runtimes, as well as run two XLR audio channels directly to the camera. Batteries are sold separately.
The Power Grid features two LP-E6 battery plates, and connects to the camera via a compatible barrel connector on a 20" cable. A blue LED lights up on the Power Grid to confirm that power is being delivered to the camera. If you keep the camera's existing battery in the camera, the Power Grid will charge the camera battery, providing the extended runtime. With the existing battery inside, the LP-E6 batteries can be swapped out, as the camera battery will take over in the process. Two batteries are required to supply the necessary 12V to the camera battery, and both are drawn from simultaneously, so both must be swapped out at the same time when swapping. Swapping is not supported if the camera's battery is not used because 12V are required in this case as well.
The Power Grid also has two 3-pin, XLR audio inputs, and a corresponding 3.5mm stereo mini jack on another 20" cable. A built-in converter sends the two channels of XLR audio, such as from two XLR mics, directly to the camera.
A 1/4"-20 threaded mounting hole is available on top and one on the bottom, allowing you to attach the Power Grid to your rig using any of various optional mounting options, such as a rod clamp. Attached on the back of your rig, the Power Grid can also be used as a counterweight.
