    I'm taking my M5 out for it's first job tomorrow and I'm bringing along 4 batteries. What's the average time you guys are getting out of each battery? I'm filming a wedding and I want to see if I should buy a couple more before tomorrow.

    thanks!

    I get like 2-4 h depending on the usage and weight of the rig.

    So they lasted longer than I expected. Got about 2.5 hours out of each. Ended up only using 3 for the day. Can't wait to share the footage!

    Hey Scott, How are you powering your monitor when using the M5? and have you ever set up a wireless monitor system on it? Having to power the transmitter as well.

    Hi Kyle. I have the SmallHD DP4 that run on 2 Canon LP-E6 batteries. I have not used a wireless setup yet as my company is just me right now. no 2nd shooter/assistant yet. :)
