    Kopterworx converter works, but needs 5V with the pocket camera. Sorry haven't used any others to recommend.

    I just flew a Wooden Camera cage for the pocket camera on the M10 and it worked great! I think the extra weight was beneficial so I attached a Teradek directly to the top plate 1/4-20's, was able to increase my settings yet again and the footage kept getting better with the weight...
    Good luck!

    We also fly it on the M10 and we use the viewfactor cage and an external switronix battery which gives us the needed weight and much longer battery life.

    Here it is in a jib setup.

    I am very happy with it. I love that it shoots all the ProRes proxies but I go back to my 5d when we are shooting stills. Its a great combo to use w the Teradek when clients want to view footage in HD on set as it is lighter than my 5d which affords us the ability to use a heavier downlink such as the Bolt 2000. We use ours with the Metabones speedbooster so we can use our canon glass...

    Tim,
    What camera is better? BlackMagic pocket with HD Raw recording, or GH4 with 4K 100mbit?
    We're shooting outside with lots of sunlight and almost no vertical lines in the landscape (rolling shutter)
