This new accessory steps further away from the whole “pocket” notion, but for those who feel somewhat self-conscious for using a compact device on a paid job (guilty), this attachment does make the camera look significantly more substantial. However, as Arber Baqaj states in his video below, he was able to get 60+ minutes of recording time on the standard battery that comes with the camera.Īt NAB 2019, Blackmagic announced the Pocket 4K Battery Grip. But, without specific notes from Blackmagic, this is just a shot in the dark. This is similar to how a laptop operates on a power setting for battery life. I imagine the Blackmagic wizards were able to reduce the power dependability on some features - and for them to only be active when activated.
In the 6.1 patch, one of the many improvements was improved power efficiency for improved battery life. However, if you’re working with firmware older than 6.1, it’s a good idea to update. This will be a redundant suggestion if you’ve only recently received your Pocket 4K, as recent batches shipped with the 6.2 firmware. But, if the Pocket 4K is a long-term investment, perhaps the official LP-E6 is the way forward. I respect that not everyone has $120 to spare for two batteries, when the same amount of money can get you four-to-five third-party batteries and, in total, net you longer recording time. Therefore, consider the following when buying LP-E6 batteries. Essentially, you’re getting 75 percent of the overall power - when compared to the Canon branded battery - and the life expectancy of a third party battery is shorter.
In the video below, Dave Dugdale describes the differences between a Canon LP-E6 and a third-party LP-E6. The $60 Canon-branded battery is going to get you further than the “two for $30” deal you saw on Amazon. Although, two variables will decrease that length: one is how long you’re recording, and the second is if the LP-E6 batteries are from legitimate producers. On a fully charged LP-E6 battery, you’re going to get around 45-60 minutes of power. It was a criticism in our review, and it’s been a criticism of many across the internet.
One thing that new Pocket 4K users are currently trying to overcome is how quickly the camera goes through power. This is when we’ll start to see third-party applications arriving on the market with features or accessories missing from the Pocket 4K. The Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4K, which from here on out and to the end of time I will only refer to as the Pocket 4K, has slowly been arriving in the hands of eager customers.
