We have seen a plethora of third party battery powering solutions come to market for the BMPCC 6K and 4K. Both of these cameras have poor run times and therefore in most situations, you need to power them using an external solution.
Here is one of the more unusual solutions that I have stumbled across that you could use to power your BMPCC.

To use the CCTECH solution you attach the included 35cm power cable from the battery to the 12V power input on your BMPCC.
