Faulty Cable Over Time

By Justin
Rated 3 out of 5
Date: 2023-08-06

I've bought two for both my BMPCC 6k Pros. After about 9-11 months, the cables initially started only transferring power in certain positions, and then stopped working entirely within a year of purchase. I made sure to not subject the cables to any serious stress in any of my builds. Both of the battery plates I own stopped working within a year of purchase. While they were working, they were a great solution for building Pocket rigs. I still use the two plates I purchased - I just cut the cable off each and use a separate D-tap to BMPCC power cable directly from the V-mount battery. I'd recommend just getting a simple 15mm rod battery plate instead of one of these.

Died in a month

Cable failed after a month of shooting. I opened it up and the failure was inside the battery plate itself (not at the blackmagic connector side).

Good for a while

This plate worked for a while but the hardware is really sketchy. After only a few months, the cable came loose and began shorting out batteries. Good form factor and ease of use but even the mount release button became loose and didn't secure batteries well.

Quality is good. The built in power cord fit my 6k pro. Being able to swing the battery down means I can use the camera monitor and save weight on my rig

It worked well, for less than a year.

When I first received it, I loved it. I was finally becoming content in the whole rigging out a mirrorless camera game. It didn't last a year, though, which is unacceptable given the price point. The ergonomics are great. The articulation and cable are decent. Internally, the cable is siliconed in place, so stress on the cable is minimal. The rod clamps are not great, but they can be ridgid, at least. The V-Mount lock is of a below average quality. The gold pins are of a poor quality. Now, that the V-Mount lock has worn down from a few hundred lock in's/out's, it can't hold a battery tight enough for the poor gold pins to maintain a connection.

Cheap, but works

The hardware is pretty low-end and feels cheap, but it does the job. Plug is secure and the electronics work.

It was pretty good at first for my BMPCC 6k pro becasue it swivels. but after a couple of months, the tightness started to go away and it would just drop on my face when I'm shooting handheld. Then it stopped working recently so I have used it for a good 1 year and it stopped. I did shoot a lot but I'm sad it doesn't work anymore. I'm going with the tilta one this time.

Failed after 2 years

It was working great then all of a sudden failed to power my black magic 6K pro. As mentioned by other reviewer's this is unacceptable for the price point

Will this work with a GH5 setup and a dummy battery for the Ninja V monitor?
Asked by: Daniel
It'll work, however, you won't be able to connect the power cord into the GH5, as it's meant for the BMPCC4K. It'll work by mounting the battery on the plate, which will, in turn, give power to the dtap port. I would recommend not buying this plate for the GH5, however.
