Andoer Camera DV Battery Mount Plate Power Supply for BMCC BMPCC

In this review the Andoer Camera DV Battery Mount Plate Power Supply is assessed for filmmakers who need a compact, reliable power solution for the Blackmagic BMCC 4K and Pocket BMPCC cameras. The bottom line: this mount plate converts common Sony BP-U60/BP-U30 batteries into continuous DC power via a DC5.5 2.1 tap and includes a short BMCC to BMPCC cable so it also suits BMPCC users. It is best for run-and-gun shooters and small studio setups that want affordable on-camera power without carrying many camera-specific batteries.

Key Features

• BMCC mount for Sony BP-U series: Accepts BP-U60 and BP-U30 batteries so users can run Blackmagic cameras from widely available Sony packs.
• DC5.5 2.1 power output: Provides a standard DC5.52.1mm tap to feed BMCC cameras directly without additional converters.
• BMPCC compatibility: Includes a BMCC to BMPCC cable so the same plate will power the BMPCC with the shorter DC2.50.7mm plug.
• Built-in mounting thread: A 1/4-20 male thread gives a secure mechanical attachment point to the BMCC body for tidy, integrated mounting.
• Portable cable lengths: The 34cm plate cable and 11cm BMCC-to-BMPCC lead keep wiring short and manageable on small rigs.

Who It's For

The mount plate is aimed at independent filmmakers, documentary shooters, and content creators who already own Sony BP-U60 or BP-U30 batteries and need an economical way to power Blackmagic BMCC 4K or Pocket BMPCC cameras. It is especially useful when you want a compact on-camera power option and prefer standardized DC plugs.

It is less suitable for users who require integrated V-mount/Gold mount solutions, long runtime battery systems, or models that demand fast-swapping hot-swap mounts. Also, if you need full weather sealing or built-in charging circuitry, this simple mount plate will feel limited.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Provides a low-cost way to use Sony BP-U batteries with BMCC and BMPCC cameras.
• Includes the BMCC to BMPCC cable so one purchase covers both camera variants.
• Compact build and 1/4-20 male thread allow tidy mounting and a small footprint on the camera body.
• Lightweight; the 97 g unit does not add noticeable bulk to handheld rigs.

Cons

• Not a high-capacity power system compared with V-mount solutions, so runtime is limited by the capacity of BP-U batteries.
• The product is a simple pass-through mount without charging or advanced power management features.
