Amazing work billy and Blindspot team 🎉, just brought the 3 x kit + some accessories . Really looking to get it out on the road . Will also be great for monitors and wireless video senders 🙌🙌.
Hello, I recently purchased the Junkie V2 and the Pipe BMPCC. When I connect it to my Pocket 6k, the power junkie makes an unusual noise. The camera does not indicate that it is receiving 12v, and the power junkie error indicator is illuminated. Could you please advise if I am doing something incorrectly? I am using the Powerextra npf 750 - 770. Thank you for your assistance.
Can this plate charge NPF while NPF it self powering the camera, or may be it has some kind of pass through ability? I want to use actualy power my camera from power grid and to have this plate with NPF battery in the midle of power grid and the camere, in case if electricity shut off, my camere still will be powered fro NPF on the plate. it's kind like most camcorders works, if native battery connected to the camcorder, you can run it from power grid, but if power grid will shut down, camere will pe runin from its battery without any stop/pause/shutting down
The only issues I had with the first version was the limited mounting option. Really glad to see this version provide a more suitable screw in option. Regardless, some awesome upgrades here.
Just got one of these. Having a bit of time making it work properly with my GH5, a dummy battery and the USBc in/out. I have to take the dummy battery out and back in before the unit recognizes and powers up the camera. Unplugging the USBc and replugging it alone does not do the trick. So i dont know if this will work for me.
I own both the v1 & v2 because I hate dummy batteries. Can you recommend anyone that sells either a "micro to DC cable" or a "micro to USB-C cable" that is 3 or4" in length? I do photos, not video, so I don't need all of the extra cable.
Billy and Blind Spot Team - is there any risk of blowing the HDMI port on a camera and/or frying everything when powering a monitor + camera with the Power Junkie V2? I'm powering a BMPCC4K + Monitor + Audio all on their own batts after hearing camera frying stories. If the V2 let's me use the one battery, I'm all over it
The audio will be your stumbling block. You will need a Ground Loop Isolator to stop noise interference. We have a FAQ question on our Kickstarter page all about it. Hope this helps.
Hi Blind Spot, Does this v2 support Canon R5 and R5C (8K60fps needs at least 9V 3A)? Your KS campaign shows a picture of the Canon R5C but the compatibility list doesn’t show these two Canon models. Can you please confirm? I want to use it for the R5C as main with Atomos Ninja 5+ and back up with R5 + Ninja 5.
The set up with the ninja will also be a fab way to use the Power Junkie V2, I haven't had that exact setup tested, but it's all within its powering range.
@@BlindSpotGear hey there, I have a blind spot v1 and currently have it connected to an apple adapter lol, what would you recommend to charge it more quickly? What should i search for? usb c to ac adapter? I just don't want to fry it, it's a neat device. I come from 3d, so I'm still learning camera stuff.
Nice review :)
Thanks Forodiox, you guys have nice products also.

Wohoo, cheers dude, great to have you back on board.
Just ordered… I’m going to use it on my LUMIX S5 II - What cable do I need?
Did you manage to find the cable you were looking for?

Will this work correctly with the BMPCC 6K Pro? Other battery plates seem to shut the camera off after a while 😞
Using the 12V output it will work great.

Great to hear that you're loving the upgrades. How are you getting on with the version 2?
When is this product available? Can't wait to buy one!
It's available now 😀 blindspotgear.com/pages/power-junkie-v2-landing

Really sorry to hear you're having issues. Can you ping us an email at info@blindspotgear.com and we'll try to sort it out.
Does the Junkie v2 require 12v batts for 12v output or is it using a boost driver?
boost driver

Hey, is it possible to charge it while using it?
Can it charge the NP F model battery also - got plenty of those batteries but no charger
Yup, it charges them via the USB-PD

@@BlindSpotGear perfect thanks for the help, I'll check it out!

Hiya, yup powering via PD it does work and via dummy battery. I need to update our canon section. Thanks for pointing this out.

Awesome! Thanks for the confirmation.
I use the V1 but this V2 look so good and super ergonomic.
Thanks dude, welcome on board the Bind Spot bus, next stop - the power junkie v2

Got bored waiting for specifications
I have heard that modern day attention spans are ever shrinking.
