Hi everyone,
I’m trying to mount my Neewer PS099E 99Wh V-Mount battery on my DJI RS4 Mini setup.
The battery came with its own mounting bracket, but I want to replace it with a different V-mount bracket because it fits my gimbal rig much better. The problem is that the hole pattern doesn’t match.
I’m considering drilling a new hole in the center of the battery’s rear plastic housing so I can attach the new bracket. (I’ve attached photos.)
My questions are:
Is there empty space behind the center of the rear housing, or are there battery cells/electronics directly underneath?
Has anyone opened or modified this specific Neewer PS099E battery?
Would drilling a shallow hole be safe, or is this a terrible idea?
Is there a better way to mount a different bracket without modifying the battery?
I’d really appreciate advice from anyone who’s worked on V-mount batteries before. I definitely don’t want to damage the battery or create a safety hazard.

I have an original Blackmagic Micro Cinema Camera that previously powered on normally from LP-E6 batteries using the camera’s power button.

I also use a One Little Remote connected through the camera’s expansion port. A few days ago, I bought a SmallRig NP-F battery plate and connected its 12V output to the One Little Remote to power the camera externally.

When I connected the NP-F battery, the BMMCC turned on immediately. I now understand that this is normal behaviour because the camera automatically starts when external power is supplied through the expansion port (according to the BMMCC manual).

However, since then, the camera’s power button will no longer turn the camera on.

Here is what I have tested:

• The power button still works for shutting the camera down.
• The power button does not turn the camera on from an LP-E6 battery.
• I have tried multiple LP-E6 batteries, including new third-party batteries and batteries that previously worked with this camera.
• I completely disconnected the One Little Remote and every other cable, left the camera unpowered, and tried again. It still would not start from LP-E6.
• The camera starts immediately when external power is newly connected.
• With external power connected AND an LP-E6 installed, the camera detects and charges the LP-E6.
• The camera reports the LP-E6 as being at 100%.
• If I remove external power while the camera is running, it continues running normally from the LP-E6.
• If I then shut the camera down, it will not restart from that same LP-E6.
• The same problem also happens while external power remains connected: if I shut the camera down with the NP-F battery still attached, pressing the power button will not turn it back on.
• The only way to start the camera now is to interrupt the external power and reconnect it, either by unplugging and reconnecting the power cable or removing and reinserting the NP-F battery.
• The camera is running the latest firmware.

So the LP-E6 battery contacts and main battery-power path appear to work, and the external power input also works. The specific failure seems to be that the power button can still turn the camera off, but it can no longer turn the camera on from any power source.

I first noticed the problem after I first powered the camera using the SmallRig NP-F plate through the One Little Remote.

Has anyone experienced this issue with a BMMCC?

Could external power through the One Little Remote have damaged the camera’s off-state power-button or startup circuit, while leaving the rest of the camera functional? Is there a known reset or repair for this symptom?

Any thoughts or help would be greatly appreciated!

I just noticed that one of the four main screws holding the silver Micro Four Thirds (MFT) lens mount ring to my BMPCC 4K chassis is missing (see photo).

Does anyone happen to know the exact technical specs for this screw?

Blackmagic doesn't put this in their manuals, and I want to make sure I buy the exact flat countersunk replacement so I don't damage the internal housing or cause any alignment issues with my lenses.

If anyone has replaced these before or knows where to source them online, please let me know.

Hi everyone, I recently got the chance to shoot an interview doc of my friend who is an artist, all shots are shot using the Original bmpcc with the lumix 14mm, laowa 7.5mm and panasonic 60mm macro . I used natural light on the side as my key . I also had a UV/IR cut filter attached to the front of the lens. Edits and grade done on Resolve. Thank you all.

Hola a todos !
Estoy buscando opciones de lentes para mi BMPCC4K.

Tengo un 16-35mm f2.8 que voy a jubilar y quiero buscar un reemplazo.
Estoy buscando principalmente lentes amplios, pero cualquier recomendación de sus favoritos es bienvenida !

Hi I need some help with importing a LUT into my bmpcc 6k pro, every time ive imported a LUT that I’ve made in Davinci Resolve, it always comes out flat and desaturated, only slightly different than the log image.

Can someone walk me through the process of exporting a LUT from DVR and into the cam, I’ve been setting my CSTs to Blackmagic Design Wide Gamut Gen 4/5 with Blackmagic Design Film Gen 5 as the gamma, output to rec 709 gamma 2.4 so I can’t seem to figure out why it’s just not reading the LUT properly.

I’ve also made sure that the LUT is <1.5MB, no difference :(

I’ve been using the film to extended video LUT but these are overexposed and always make my blacks look super noisy in post so I really need a long-term solution, any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi everyone! I recently bought the PodTech mod kit for the original 6k/4k and Im planning to install it myself, do you guys know if theres somewhere a tutorial video or not for the installation? Or maybe if its in the package that will be sent to me?
Thankss

I posted this a little bit ago but unfortunately nothing came from it, I really hope someone can help me out!

A portion of my screen on my bmpcc4k is broken and I cannot change important settings like coded, compression etc.

And most importantly I cannot change my Bluetooth setting to ON to control the camera from my phone.

Im really hoping someone can export a settings preset from their bmpcc4k with the Bluetooth setting toggled ON for me to import to regain functionality on my beloved camera

Thanks so much!

Hey, BMPCC4k fam. I’m going to be shooting some court depositions and need a quick and cheap solution for a zoom lens. I like primes for shooting creative work and don’t really want to shell out here. Audio is the most important aspect of these shoots but I do want a functional image. Thank you!!!

I have a 10.5mm, 16mm, and a 35mm so I’m primarily looking for the 20-40mm range. Starting at 24mm would also probably be a decent starting point.

Hopefully under 300 bucks.

Does anyone know of a fix? Or is this a DOA that I just need to send back and be done with it? I think I know the answer, but I figured I might as well ask…

Anybody have any tricks or work around to turn your Bluetooth on, once your touch screen stops responding? Or am I SOL without sending it back in to BLACKMAGIC? Love the camera, hate it’s so touch dependent without physical buttons to also push

please forgive my ignorance, but I'm coming from 16mm so digital camera science is totally new to me. we did a two-camera shoot with my BMPCC 4K and the other cameraperson's FX6, and I'm using Filmbox as a 16mm emulation. this is in Premiere, and it would be nice if the solution didn't require me to learn Resolve and edit in that instead.

I developed a warm look I was very happy with, which is the first screenshot. then I copied over the same Filmbox settings to the FX6 footage, and changed the color science from BMD to SLOG (second screenshot). I also had to switch the SLOG clips to "Preserve RGB" because otherwise they looked insane. I also included Color-checker shots (BMPCC third, FX6 fourth) for reference and help troubleshooting.

in theory, Filmbox should account for the difference in the two camera's color sciences. but they look insanely different to me! the BMD has a warm brown tone to it, and the Sony is super bright and red. the lenses were different, and I think I was a little more stopped-down than him, but that wouldn't account for such a drastic difference.

is there some kind of color management setting I'm getting wrong here, or is it really this impossible to match the two cameras? I'm losing my mind and would appreciate any help!

Hoi! Voor mijn lokale theatergroep heb ik onze show opgenomen (ze weten dat het alleen een test was, dus geen stress)

Ik heb de dag- en de avondvoorstelling gefilmd, en ik wil die avond gebruiken, maar kan ik mijn beelden opslaan?

Opgenomen in BMR met ISO 640, ik weet dat het te weinig belicht is, maar er viel niks aan te doen, want ik was aan het spelen.

Ik heb DaVinci Resolve Studio. Hebben jullie advies? I shot with the black magic studio pro 4k

Trying to learn how to shoot nature
I’ll be very happy to hear some advice

800$ CAD, Willing to ship. This is a refurbished version, screen was replaced with a working screen from another OG.

I recently bought a cheap 17.5-105 fujinon tv zoom lens. I atached It to my OG BMPCC but the focus is not working properly. In 17.5 mode, the focus is only sharp with my subject very close to the lens. And in 105mm or lower, I need to be around 3 meters far from my subject.

I mounted It with a C to M43 adapter. ¿Any ideas?
