Perfect external battery holder for mirrorless cameras

By Eric

Put this below your camera and it's a much more elegant solution (I think) than putting it above or to the side, or trying to mount a battery on rods. This is out of the way, adds a bit more weight for stability while handheld, and looks nice.

Best external power option for the BMPCC4K

By Cameron

I am not a fan of heavy or bulky rigs. The BMPCC4K/6K battery life is terrible, and needs an external power source to be usable. The body of the Pocket 4K/6K is poorly designed and makes most external power options awkward and of course heavy and bulky. This has been my favorite external power option I've found. It's small, light weight, and you can mount underneath the camera without a cage. I also appreciate you can attach a Metabones support bracket to the base itself. Battery life with a NPF970 is like 2-3 hours. Very happy with this product!

A really great and affordable solution !

This little guy can be settled in many configurations. I use it with my old original BMPCC and I installed it at the right side of a cage. The shape of the baseplate can be hold like a handle. Really smart ! Tilta done a good job !
