V-Mount Lock Battery Plate Power Supply Splitter Adapter - BMPCC Power

In this review the V-Mount Lock Battery Plate Power Supply Splitter Adapter is assessed as a practical power hub for users who need to run a Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4K or 6K alongside accessories. The single biggest reason to buy is its flexible multi-output design: a V-lock mount combines with multiple barrel outputs, a D-Tap and two USB ports so a single V-mount battery can power a camera, monitor and small accessories at once. For shooters on gimbals, rigs or in small studios who value consolidated power management, it is a useful and economical option.

Key Features

• Multiple voltage outputs: The plate provides 15 VDC, 12 VDC, 8 VDC and 5 VDC barrel outputs so it can power a range of devices without extra converters.
• D-Tap and USB ports: A D-Tap output and two USB ports let you run lights, phones or recorders directly from the same V-mount battery.
• Built-in power switch: The side-mounted switch lets the user turn all outputs on or off quickly for safe hot-swapping and battery conservation.
• 15mm rod clamp: The included rod clamp suits standard 15mm rig or gimbal pass-throughs for secure mounting and tidy cable routing.
• Locking BMPCC cable: The package includes a right-angle DC 5.5x2.5mm to WEIPU two-pin locking cable designed for direct power to BMPCC 4K/6K bodies.
• Protection and efficiency: The plate is reported to have low static power consumption, decent conversion efficiency and protection circuits against over output and locking faults.

Who It's For

The adapter is best for indie filmmakers, run-and-gun shooters and small studio setups that use a V-mount battery system and need to power a BMPCC 4K or 6K plus one or two accessories without carrying multiple batteries or bulky converters. It fits well on 15mm rod rigs and gimbals where space is limited and quick release V-lock access is helpful.

Semi-pro users who demand manufacturer-certified cables or longer battery runtimes from high-draw camera setups should compare alternatives; some customers reported mixed results on cable durability and battery life is determined by the V-mount battery used rather than the plate itself.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Multiple dedicated voltage outputs reduce the need for extra converters and simplify kit power management.
• Compact 15mm rod clamp and V-Lock mount make it easy to integrate into rigs and swap batteries quickly.
• Includes a BMPCC-compatible locking cable for a neat, secure camera connection.
• Good value and solid plate quality noted by customers for the price.

Cons

• Some users reported mixed experiences with the supplied WEIPU cable quality, so professionals may prefer a spare or upgraded cable.
• Battery runtime depends entirely on the attached V-mount battery; the plate does not improve battery capacity.

Specifications

Our Verdict

The V-Mount Lock Battery Plate Power Supply Splitter Adapter is a practical, cost-effective power distribution plate for BMPCC 4K/6K users and accessory-heavy setups. It offers useful multi-voltage outputs, D-Tap and USB ports, and a secure rod clamp for integration into rigs. Buyers seeking ruggedized cables or extended runtimes should plan for spares and a high-capacity V-mount battery, but for the price it is a smart power consolidation tool.
