The V-Mount itself is on the bottom of the quick release shoe – this is so the camera stays the same for going on gimbal without the bottom needing to be unscrewed each time.Ī V-Lock battery costs around £250 but they vary quite a bit in price and in style and design, so you'll need to find the right brand to fit your camera.

Those who use shoulder mounts tend to favour having the battery behind the camera on the shoulder mount to help with balance, but the pitfall of that is it can block the screen. We mount our V-Lock underneath the camera as the majority of work we do is on a tripod or gimbal so it’s easier to mount it directly onto the tripod and also simple to take off if we need to put the camera on the gimbal.

You can also plug it into the 12v input instead of the dummy adapter. It uses an adapter that looks like a dummy battery that goes into your battery slot in the same way as a battery grip would. V-Lock Battery on the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4KĪdding a V-Lock battery is a little less straightforward than other methods and there’s no one agreed upon way, but once it’s on it’s pretty solid.

V-Lock Batteryīlackmagic doesn’t really tout a V-Lock (or V-Mount) battery as one of the powering options on their site, but for us it’s been the best and most cost-effective solution. While I assume that that’s dependant on how you’re using your camera, we’ve not yet run out of power using it but it would be easy to have a spare set of batteries on hand if you were planning on particularly heavy usage and were unsure. We use a Gudsen Moza Air 2 which boasts up to 16 hours of battery life with four Li-ion 18650 batteries.

I spoke with some other producers, and they all confirmed that Premiere CC has been having tons of issues lately, and it made me wish I already knew how to use DaVinci Resolve. While coloring footage Premiere would crash roughly every five minutes. The only thing that kept falling on its face was Adobe Premiere CC. That hard drive gave me no bottlenecks at all, which was a relief.

For my edit, I used my late-2018 HP Spectre x360 15-inch laptop and a Samsung Portable SSD X5, which utilizes Thunderbolt 3 and the very fast NVMe interface. You’re also going to want to use the fastest SSD you can get your hands on.
