The good thing is that the Power Connector on the camera accepts a wide voltage range (12-18v), so there are plenty of external solutions to choose from. | The good thing is that the Power Connector on the camera accepts a wide voltage range (12-18v), so there are plenty of external solutions to choose from. | ||

- | Since you can use voltages between 12v and 18v there are a lot of possible DIY power sources for the BMPCC, most of them cheaper then the dedicated solutions.

Popular choices include so called "power banks" - designed to recharge mobile devices on the road - watch out that they not only have a 5v USB output, these two reportedly work fine: |

- | Depending on your rig, these batteries can be mounted on your rods by using velcro or rubberbands. If you want a more "solid" setup you could fix your battery to a cheeseplate ([[http://www.amazon.de/gp/aw/d/B008MTZEEI?pc_redir=1407126950&robot_redir=1|like this]]). | + | Depending on your rig, these batteries can be mounted on your rods by using velcro or rubberbands.

- | If you are planning to run various devices from the same power source (i.e. Monitor or EVF, Headlight, Mic-Pre Amp, external Recorder) you could consider looking into battery mounting plates that provide multiple outputs. If your devices need different input voltage, there are battery-plates with built-in voltage regulators, though usually only for the more "professional" battery systems like V-Mount or Anton Bauer though. Also note that these batteries are available in much larger capacities (200+ Wh) than the power banks (Anker Astro Pro2 20000mAh = 74Wh), so even running multiple devices on one battery can be done with a solution like that. | + | If you are planning to run various devices from the same power source (i.e. Monitor or EVF, Headlight, Mic-Pre Amp, external Recorder) you could consider looking into battery mounting plates that provide multiple outputs.
