Hawkwoods have released the BP-FS7U power solution for the Sony FS7. The BP-FS7U battery is based on Hawkwoods dual power-con BP-75UX battery. The BP-FS7U includes a short PXW power cable that powers the FS7 via the DC Input.

The BP-75UX connects directly to the battery port on the FS7, the cable is then attached and connected to the camera. This allows the camera to take the battery power through the external DC Input rather than the battery port.

This power solution also enables the user to power further accessories and equipment from the remaning power-con (D-Tap) output.

The BP-FS7U features:

Short circuit and thermal protection
Dual Power-con (D-Tap) Output 11-17V
75Wh Capacity
14.4v BPU battery
