I have had great luck pairing V-mount batteries with Blackmagic, but it can add one other layer of clunkiness to the camera, and takes up your 2-pin power connector. What about V-Mount? In the past with other Pockets, having worry-free battery power has meant getting a V-mount system. The Blackmagic Pocket 6K Pro with the Pro Battery Grip (If you are swapping out from an assortment of name-brand and over-used or cheap knock-offs left over from DSLR days, you’ll get half that.) In comparison, the LP-E6 batteries on the other Pockets will last you 45 minutes on a good day. If you're shooting 6K RAW at 24FPS, it will last about 60 minutes. Thankfully, BMPCC 6K Pro goes a different route with battery than the Pocket 6K or 4K, with a larger NP-F570 battery.

If you’re shooting 4-6K and Blackmagic RAW, you’re using up juice pretty fast.
