The Blackmagic Design Pocket Camera Battery Grip is an accessory designed to extend the operational runtime and improve the ergonomics of the Pocket Cinema Camera 4K and 6K models. A primary limitation of these powerful cameras is their relatively short battery life when using the single internal LP-E6 style battery. This grip solves that problem by housing two additional LP-E6 batteries in a vertical grip that attaches to the bottom of the camera, effectively tripling the available shooting time before needing to swap batteries. It integrates seamlessly with the camera's power system, intelligently draining the internal battery first before switching to the grip's batteries in sequence.

Beyond power, the grip significantly enhances the camera's handling, especially for stills-style handheld shooting or when using taller lenses. It provides a more substantial and secure hold, with a textured surface and a form factor that feels more balanced in the hand. The grip includes essential controls: a shutter release button for photo capture (when in photo mode) and start/stop record button for video, placing critical functions right at the user's fingertips without needing to touch the camera body. It also features a standard 1/4"-20 tripod thread on its bottom, allowing the camera to be mounted on a tripod or monopod without having to remove the grip. This accessory is considered almost essential for any serious run-and-gun, documentary, or event shooting with the Pocket Cinema Cameras, addressing their two biggest practical shortcomings: battery life and handheld ergonomics.
