Q: 1. Does anyone know if you can set it up to burn the grip battery first so that you can run off the internal battery while you hot swap out the grip battery? I ask because I know that you can do this with the VERY expensive Panasonic version and I was hoping to save the money by getting the this one. Thanks

A: Yes it has the same features

Q: 2. Is Vello going to make a battery grip for the Blackmagic Design Pocket Cinema Camera 4K? I hope they will.

A: Since the Blackmagic Design Pocket Cinema Camera 4K is a video camera, we consider it very unlikely that anyone will make a grip for it. A grip can be valuable for a still camera, allowing longer battery life and the convenience of a vertical grip. On the other hand, a video camera needs to be lighter/smaller since they are held for longer periods or need to be on gimbals. Here weight and size become real considerations. Generally, since battery life can be extended by an external battery and the need of a vertical grip superfluous, pros tend not to use vertical grip on cameras. However, in light of how many would like to use grips in video, I will state this is just my opinion.

Q: 6. can the Sony SMAD-P3 Multi Interface Shoe be used, with this cage in an a6300? Thanks.
