I got the 5” Blackmagic 12g. I love it. I got a 3-pin lemo power cable made for my M2 rig. It does have a fan, which could be a problem in quietly scenarios. I got the older version of the 5” were I mounted an on/off switch for the fan. The older version is not bright enough for daylight ext.

I have a Steadicam M2. I recently had a one day job, with the Alexa 35. Added a 24v battery cable. Setting up the rig for 24v and turning the 3rd battery to 24v. It seemed like the main draw was from battery #1. It also turned a bit warm. At the end of the day, when we had changed batteries extensively, I tried to flip the 3rd battery to 12v, and the voltage increased and camera lasted longer. I didn’t find out if the 3rd battery actually did deliver power in this setting.
This doesn’t make sense to me. Anybody else experienced this? -

Hi Russel,
Sorry, I just saw your reply/question. I hope your job went great. I found out how the power distribution actually works. You either use the 24v switch on the side or on the back. I’m sure you managed with your 198wh batts?
