Vello BG-BMP6K Reviews

Doesn't Fit BM6K Pro

By Daryl
Rated 1 out of 5
Date: 2024-02-04

I was disappointed when I attempted to use this battery grip fr my BM6kPro. The grip doesn't screw all the way in and it's a little short on the right side, so it doesnt power the camera. Im annoyed bc I waited too long, so I'm out of the return window and the two that I have are useless. I'd recommend that you try this as soon as you get it.

Works well with Ronin-S

By Jason
Rated 5 out of 5
Date: 2021-05-02

Generally more than I bargained for. The 1/4-20 hole on the bottom of the grip is offset in a way that helps the camera balance on a Ronin-S without a special offset plate. It also includes a USB-C charger, which is growing less common as companies assume you already own some kind of charger. Finally, not only does it include a hidden compartment to store your battery door, but the compartment is padded to eliminate any rattling from the door contained within - a very thoughtful addition. The plastic feels cheaper than the camera body, but Vello did mimic the texture of the BMPCC4/6K, so it looks consistent. There is a note in the instructions to remove the grip from the camera before charging through the USB-C adapter, or risk damage to grip and camera. I'm glad I saw it, but I wish they'd explained the risk more. Is it a 100% smoke-and-flames guarantee, or a remote chance of thermal damage over years of use? No idea.

They don't need to be the same brand, but since it only takes LP-E6 batteries, then the size has to be the same.

Is it possible to charge the batteries in the grip while powering the camera? Like, could I run a USB battery Bank into the grip to get even longer recording times?
Asked by: Phil
It is not possible to charge the batteries in the power grip you will need to take the batteries out of the battery grip to recharge them. You can extend your cameras recording time by plugging in a USB power Bank. It will reduce the amount of power the camera pulls from the battery grip which will enable the camera to run for a longer period of time.
