Stuck Battery? Read on…<\/h2>\n

I recently had my Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4K<\/strong> delivered, good times.<\/p>\n

The other day I tested an LP-E6 coupler (dummy battery) and it got stuck in the BMPCC4K’s battery bay, like… proper stuck.<\/p>\n

After a lot of gentle pissing about I managed to get the coupler out, only to plonk a normal battery back in \u2013 which got stuck as well!<\/p>\n

Taking it gingerly, i.e, not ramming screwdrivers in there or using heavy-handed\u00a0technical tap<\/em>s, I eventually managed to get the battery out by sliding two cable ties either side of the battery, then waggling them, while holding the camera upside down. <\/p>\n

I then immediately noticed what the issue was… there is a thick, metal backed (serial number) sticker on the inside of the BMPCC4K’s battery compartment which had got scrunched up.<\/p>\n
