Read on&#8230;<\/h2>\n<p>I recently had my <strong>Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4K<\/strong> delivered, good times.<\/p>\n<p>The other day I tested an LP-E6 coupler (dummy battery) and it got stuck in the BMPCC4K&#8217;s battery bay, like&#8230; proper stuck.<\/p>\n<p>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<p>Taking it gingerly, i.e, not ramming screwdrivers in there or using heavy-handed\u00a0<em>technical 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<p>I then immediately noticed what the issue was&#8230; there is a thick, metal backed (serial number) sticker on the inside of the BMPCC4K&#8217;s battery compartment which had got scrunched up.<\/p>\n<ul class=\"blockgrid small-block-grid-1 medium-block-grid-3 large-block-grid-3 \">\n<li>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.4muladesign.com\/clients\/jb\/assets\/uploads\/2018\/10\/bmpcc4k-battery-coupler.jpg\" alt=\"LP-E6 Coupler \/ Dummy Battery\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" \/><figcaption>LP-E6 Coupler \/ Dummy Battery<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.4muladesign.com\/clients\/jb\/assets\/uploads\/2018\/10\/bmpcc4k-sticker.02.jpg\" alt=\"The Offending Sticker\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" \/><figcaption>The Offending Sticker<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.4muladesign.com\/clients\/jb\/assets\/uploads\/2018\/10\/bmpcc4k-battery-bay.jpg\" alt=\"BMPCC4K Cleaned Battery Bay\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" \/><figcaption>Cleaned Battery Bay<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Removing the sticker solved all the issues.
