I got a pair of these to be able to a run Teradek Bolt 500 on a monopod with my camera - and it's absolutely perfect for that. I can run all day on this thing!

question

Is there a longer cable than the 12 ? I was going to put the battery plate on my shoulder mount and i don't think it will reach from the camera to that.
Asked by: Joe G.
Yes there is. Switronix makes an extension cable for this battery. We even have the Blackmagic Camera Powerbase DLX Kit which includes the battery, charger and the 24 Extension Cable. You can also purchase the extension cable separately.

question

will this work on JVC GY-HM200 4KCAM?
Asked by: katerina o.
Sorry, the JVC GY-HM200 has a different pin configuration and cannot be used with this. A search of B&H and the web returned no large battery solutions for the GY-HM200. At this point I would suggest contacting a video camera rental house and see if one of their technicians can design a set up for you.

Can you be plugged into the camera and to direct power at the same time?
Asked by: Chamika
No. Recommended practices for this device are to connect it to AC to charge the battery OR connect it to the camera to power that. To power camera directly from an AC power source, an AC power adapter for that particular camera is required.
