Modernize Your Cinema Rig with USB-C Power Delivery

Step away from bulky proprietary battery systems and streamline your camera kit with the POWRIG USB-C PD to BP-U Dummy Battery Power Cable. Engineered for run-and-gun filmmakers, documentary shooters, and gimbal operators, this cable converts any USB-C PD 3.0 power bank, wall charger, or V-Mount battery with USB-C output into a dedicated 15V continuous power source for Sony cinema cameras and broadcast camcorders.

Delivering up to 45W (15V / 3A) of regulated cinema-grade power, it features a fully decoded BP-U emulator that replaces Sony BP-U30, BP-U35, BP-U60, and BP-U90 batteries without causing system errors, power throttling, or random shutdowns. With a smart green LED power indicator built directly into the Type-C housing, you get instant visual confirmation that your power handshake is active and ready to roll.

  • Advanced USB-C PD 3.0 Protocol (45W Max): Smart chip handshakes with 15V USB Power Delivery sources to output a steady, regulated 15V / 3A DC supply, meeting the peak power draw requirements of Sony cinema cameras during 4K high-frame-rate recording.
  • Instant-Read Green LED Status Indicator: Integrated micro-LED lights up green upon a successful PD voltage handshake, allowing instant on-set verification that the power source is active.
  • Fully Decoded BP-U Emulation: 100% decoded circuitry displays exact camera battery voltage and runtime without system incompatibility pop-ups or boot-up failures.
  • Dual Power Source Versatility: Seamlessly power your rig from compact everyday PD power banks (45W+ / 65W+ / 100W) or modern V-Mount / Gold-Mount batteries featuring USB-C bidirectional ports.
  • Flexible Coiled Cable (30–120cm / 11.8"–47.2"): Tangle-free spring wire extends smoothly to accommodate high-mobility gimbal moves, camera cages, and shoulder mounts while eliminating cable snag risks.

Q: What type of power bank or USB-C charger do I need to run my Sony FX6 / FS7?
A: Your USB-C power bank or charger must support the 15V PD protocol output with at least 45W capacity (15V/3A). Standard 5V/9V phone chargers or non-PD power banks will not trigger the 15V handshake required by the camera.

Q: What does the green LED on the Type-C plug indicate?
A: When connected to a compatible PD power source, the integrated green LED lights up once the 15V power delivery handshake is verified. If the LED does not turn on, it indicates your power bank or cable port does not support the required 15V PD profile.

Q: Can this be used directly with modern V-Mount batteries featuring USB-C ports?
A: Yes. Many modern V-Mount batteries (such as those from SmallRig, FXLION, or ZGCINE) feature high-wattage bidirectional USB-C ports (45W/65W/100W). This cable plugs directly into those USB-C ports to power your BP-U camera.
