This won’t power your camera while it’s turned on, but what it will do is let your camera charge its internal battery when the camera is turned off. But you can also power the camera through a locking 12v connector, allowing you to go for much longer. Of course, there’s the internal battery, which is a Canon LP-E6 (the same battery used in the 5D Mark IV, 6D Mark II, 7D Mark II, etc.) which they say offers around an hour of record time. So, the BMPCC4K offers a couple of different options for powering your camera. Once you add phantom power for microphones in the mix, it can often feel like it lasts hardly any time at all.
Video can drain your batteries quite quickly.
So, if you want to use a “real” microphone, you’ll have no problem doing that. And this Mini XLR socket is capable of supplying 48v phantom power, too. There’s the standard 3.5mm socket that we see on most DSLR and mirrorless cameras, but there’s also a Mini XLR. The BMPCC4K features two microphone connections. While I wouldn’t consider using something like this primarily as a stills camera these days, having that ability is very handy. If you’re shooting CinemaDNG it will create 12Bit DNG RAW files. If you’re shooting in ProRes it’ll create 8Bit JPGs. Or to bring into Photoshop and adjust to make LUTs for use with the footage in editing applications. It’s only an 8 megapixel sensor, but it means that filmmakers will be able to grab a quick still of their scene to send out for grading.
