Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Can I use my old Sony pd 150or my Panasonic af 100 batteries with this adaptor?

A: We're afraid not, this part is for BP-U style batteries. For Sony L or NP-F Style Batteries we suggest the IndiPRO Tools Sony L-Series Battery Adapter Plate for Blackmagic Pocket 4K Camera (10") instead, B&H # INSLPBP4K. This will work with the batteries that the PD-150 uses. https://bhpho.to/2J5Gb9B

Q: 2. Can you use two batteries of different capacities? Say the 98 and 150 used together, assuming the 98 wh battery needs to be replace first will the VL-MCF1 know this and indicate a swap needs to be made?

Q: 10. What is the difference between the unregulated and the regulated?
