Will BMPCC "2-pin" power cables work with this unit? If so, what if any problems would there be using the official Dtap-to-BMPCC cable from a 14.8V battery? Would it blow out?
BMPCC 2-pin power cables will not work with the Video Assist monitors. There would be no problem using the official D-tap to BMPCC cable from a 14.8V battery since the Video Assist Monitor's power input takes 12V+.

will the smallrig cage of the older version fit?
The dimensions of the Video Assist (5") are 5.63 x 3.54 x 1.20 in. The dimensions of the new 12G model are 5.83 x 3.54 x 1.44 in. Since it's a bit wider the cage might not fit.

I have a Sony BVW D600 WS Betacam SP camera I'd like to put back to use. Will this monitor/recorder work for me? What other peripherals will I need if it will? Thankyou!
You will need a Blackmagic Design Mini Converter Analog to SDI (B&H # BLASDIMC MFR # CONVMAAS2) to convert the analog video output to SDI for the monitor/Recorder. You will also need Blackmagic Design Audio to SDI Mini Converter (B&H # BLCOMCAUS2 MFR # CONVMCAUDS2) to add audio.
