Q: 1. The L-angle plug does not fit through my cage that encloses my blackmagic pocket camera. Where can I get a straight plug adapter or extension so I can plug the L-angle plug of this IndiPRO Grid to the power port on the camera?

A: Unfortunately there is not a solution for adapting this right angle connector to a straight connector.

Q: 2. Will this work with the c200?

A: Yes it will. The C200 uses the same battery system as the C300 Mark II.

Q: 3. Will this work with the c300 markiii?

A: Yes, the C300 III uses a 4-pin Lemo for power.

Q: 4. Is there an easy way to mount this if you're not using rails? I'm thinking of getting a cage so would want to mount it using a shoe or screw mount. Does the clamp come off?

A: The clamp comes off. There is a 1/4 -20 screw hole. If you get that cage, I suggest keeping the battery close and rigidly mounted to it. I think an arm would cause balance issues. Here are two pieces that will hold the Power Grid. Pearstone Accessory Shoe Adapter with 1/4 -20 Stud Connector B&H # PEAMM1420 and DM-Accessories BOT-FLAT Handle or Underside Camera Shoe Mount (Black) B&H # DMBOTFLAT.

Q: 5. About how much runtime will two new fully charged LP-E6 batteries give you with an A7S compared to the original battery?

A: We have user reports of 4 or more hours of run time with the IndiPRO Tools 8PASA7.

Q: 6. Is this product made of metal?

A: The rail mounting clamp and bolt are metal. The battery and microphone input block is plastic (except for electrical connections and a few small pieces on the xlr inputs. The plastic has so far held up fine -- without receiving 'kid glove' treatment. Biggest issue is that there is nothing that locks batteries in place, and the shape makes rigging a solution a bit of a chore. As a cord-cutter, we've ran a BMPCC for a good eight hour day with almost no off-time, and plenty of checking takes - and could have gone hours more. Keep an eye on camera temp during extended 'camera on' shoots - especially if shooting time lapse in RAW format - parts of the camera can get too hot to touch and suffer damage. This not an 'approved' Blackmagic device, so may lack some form of power management on a camera that has no self-cooling system. Note the xlr inputs are just converters (not a preamp and offer no phantom power). Otherwise, a good, budget solution with a touch of DIY to keep batteries on the unit. For pro use, there are better and, naturally, more expensive choices. That said, ours is still in the field...

Q: 7. Where does it mount to the Pocket Camera?

A: It's designed to mount on rails, not the camera itself, but the rail mount can be unscrewed leaving a 1/4-20 hole if you want to mount it another way.

Q: 8. Will this work with the A7/m2?
