And also in PDF in attachment.

It is easy to see that heat does not help batteries.

As well as full charging (if you undercharge battery it'll live much longer and won't drop capacity so fast).

And it looks like in BM Cinema Camera we have both of this issues.
Battery is made small, so it is charged to full (hence it'll have very fast capacity drop) and it'll be made worse by temperature modes. Camera will make battery perform worse and battery in it's turn during charging will induce heat, and, hence, increased noise.

But anyway. People ask for this, so let this topic be.

My personal list:

  1. m43 mount.
  2. Removal of integrated monitor.
  3. Removal of internal battery.
  4. Removal of both audio ports and headphone output, leaving only one digital audio input.
  5. Complete removal of Thunderbolt port and replace it with USB 3.0.
  6. Removal of internal SSD slot
  7. Removal of HD-SDI port.
  8. High speed Wi-Fi supporting distant monitoring via iOS and Android devices. Same support via USB port.
  9. Sell this for $999 :-)
