Product Information

Full details

The Blackmagic Pocket Camera Battery Grip is designed for professional videographers and content creators using the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4K or 6K who need extended uptime during long shooting sessions. By housing two standard L-series batteries, the grip allows for over two hours of continuous recording, significantly reducing the frequency of battery changes on set; however, users should note that the grip increases the overall weight and dimensions of the camera setup.

FAQs

Can I use the grip with the Pocket Cinema Camera 6K Pro?

No, this specific battery grip is designed for the Pocket Cinema Camera 4K and 6K models only.

Does the grip include batteries in the box?

No, the grip does not include L-series batteries; they must be purchased separately.

Will the grip work if only one battery is inserted?

Yes, the grip will function with one battery, though it will not provide the extended run time of a dual-battery configuration.

Can I mount a tripod plate to the bottom of the grip?

Yes, the battery grip features a standard tripod mount thread on the bottom, allowing for easy mounting while the grip is attached.

Is the grip weather-sealed?

The grip is designed for professional use, but it is not weather-sealed and should be kept away from excessive moisture or rain.

Troubleshooting

Camera does not recognize the grip

Ensure the grip is properly seated in the battery compartment and the screw-wheel is fully tightened.

Batteries are not charging via the 12V DC input

Verify that the DC power cable is fully connected and the power source provides the correct voltage specifications for the camera.

Power indicator shows low battery despite full charge

Remove the batteries and wipe the contact points with a dry, clean microfiber cloth to remove oxidation or debris.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Significantly extends recording time for long projects
  • Provides a more stable, comfortable hold for handheld shooting
  • Simplifies power management via direct camera charging
  • Secure screw-wheel mounting prevents accidental detachment

Cons

  • Adds notable weight and bulk to the camera body
  • Limited to specific L-series battery types
  • Cannot be used with standard camera baseplates without potential clearance issues

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install the grip, first remove the battery door from the base of your camera. Slide the connector section of the grip into the battery compartment, and tighten the screw-wheel until the grip is flush and secure against the bottom of the camera.

Compatibility: This model is exclusively compatible with the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4K and 6K series.

Care Instructions:

  • Keep the battery contacts clean and free of dust or moisture.
  • Do not over-tighten the screw-wheel; hand-tight is sufficient.
