Q: 1. How long can a BMPCC4K run on this?

A: This is a 98Wh battery, which is around 7 times higher capacity than the LP-E6 batteries the camera normally uses. You should expect to get 5-6 hours out of this battery depending on the shoot conditions and settings you use.

Q: 2. Will this also power a Blackmagic Cinema Camera?

A: It will not. This is specifically for the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4K , which has a different power connection over the Cinema Camera 2.5K. Instead we recommend the Core SWX PowerBase 70 Battery for Blackmagic Cinema Camera (12" Cable), B&H # COPB70BMCC.

Q: 3. will this power and fint the 12v connection for the Blackmagic Video Assist 4K?

A: This battery solution can provide 12 volts which the Video Assist 4K can run off. The power plug is unfortunately not compatible with the Video Assist 4K. The Video Assist 4K uses a 2.5mm barrel port and this power cable can be considered to make the connection from the battery to the Video Assist 4k.

Q: 4. Would this charger work with an NRG Varalux light with a 4 Pin XLR? I'm assuming any 4 pin XLR connector would work with it, but the comment about powers select ENG cameras & LED lights made me question that. Thank you!

A: I think so, as long as your light runs on 12v and has a 4 pin XLR connector. I'm using this battery to power a Panasonic GH4 - DMW-YAGH Video Interface Unit in the field. It works great for that and let me film all day on a single battery.

Q: 5. Can it work with tascam dr680 field micer and BMCC?

A: This battery belt system is not designed to work with your suggested components reliably. It could cause damage to the recorder and the camera .

Q: 6. HI there. I just bought MOTU MK3 traveler which can be powered by external 4pin XLR connector, requires between 10-24V. Would this battery be suitable please? And how long could I expect it to run, I'm planning to use 2 condenser microphones which need 48V power supply.Thank you.

A: We reach out to MOTU on your behalf and they confirmed for us that this Bescor Battery will indeed work with the Traveler-mk3. If you have any other questions regarding powering the MOTU Traveler feel free to ask them in the Q&A on that product's page.

Q: 7. Will this power a Sony HVR-S270? I'm not sure if I can use a 12V battery for the 270 or if it has to be a 14.4V.

A: This battery may work with the Sony HVR-S270, however with the output being lower than the camera's needs I would not recommend it. For another solution IndiPRO tools has an inexpensive V-Mount Battery and Charger kit that you can use directly on the camera. This will work and it will be a bit more convenient to set up.

Q: 8. how do I charge battery in belt, does it take AA or AAA?

A: I don't know what batteries it uses and it really doesn't matter. All you have to do is plug the charger into an outlet and put the male plug from the charger into the female receptacle attached to the battery--that's all there is to it. I have had nothing but success with PRB-9NC. I recently used it for one hour with a 40 watt bulb and could have gone longer if needed. Couldn't be more pleased.

Q: 9. how long does a full charge last?

A: The battery is 98 watt hours. Divide the number of watts you are powering into that to determine the run time.

Q: 10. will it work with black magic cameras?

A: Yes it will work on the Black Magic Production camera as the camera has got a 12-30 V DC input. However you will have to change the XLR power plug on the battery pack, as the Production cameras DC-input is not an XLR input socket.
