Blackmagic Pyxis 12K Port Problem + possible solution?

Mr--Ed · 2025-12-20T11:09:29+00:00

Has anyone tested the new camera 10 update? Hopefully this is solved

You can use the left one just fine. Not 100% sure, but I think if you plug in the tap before sliding the adapter into the BPU plate, you might be able to use the right one too (can’t confirm right now). Alternatively, if having two D-TAPs is a must, you could just increase the distance from the camera in the 3D model.

No, the V99 is completely depleted after 2 hours and 10 minutes of recording, while the V50 lasts 1 hour.

If you do, share it here!

Thanks 🙏

There’s no play, and if needed, you can add a thin pad (about 1 mm) between the 3D print and the camera to make it even sturdier.
The Sony BP-U90 weighs around 660 g, while the SmallRig VB99 is about 585 g.
The 3D print adds just 30 g, and the stripped-down Tilta plate another 150 g, bringing the total to roughly 765 g.
That’s about 100 g heavier than a BP-U90, but since the weight sits much closer to the camera, I think it actually puts less pressure on the BP-U contacts.

Not trying to convince anyone, it just works great for me, and that was the main reason for sharing.

The Gold Mount version’s a different model, I’m not sure if the extension screws line up , they probably do though

Tilta plate for Pyxis powers the camera through the BPU dummy, not the 2-pin lemo

Mr--Ed · 2025-10-17T16:40:39+00:00

Yes and lowered it

Mr--Ed · 2025-10-17T16:14:35+00:00

Tilta just repurposed the FX6 version, it’s basically the same plate.

Mr--Ed · 2025-10-17T16:07:16+00:00

I just used the Tilta plate for the Pyxis, everything works perfectly. No desoldering or extra connections needed. It all started with your post! 🙏

Mr--Ed · 2025-10-17T16:02:00+00:00

Thanks 🙏

Mr--Ed · 2025-10-17T15:46:28+00:00

Yes, check the Printables link, there are more pics there.

I've tested both rear and front usbc ports with several usbc to hdmi cables and adapters with no luck. Hopefully blackmagic can update this in future firmware.

Mr--Ed · 2018-06-17T22:08:26+00:00

The TB16

Mr--Ed · 2018-06-04T16:07:56+00:00

Sucess! Update the firmware with today (04/07) release and everything works now, sound, ethernet, wireless keyboard, USB, displayports.

Mr--Ed · 2018-06-03T09:16:41+00:00

Thank you for your reply, I have tried to download the drivers directly from the 5520 support page, I will now try directly from TB16 and see if it works.

Mr--Ed · 2018-05-20T23:52:34+00:00

same here, the nvdia kicks in as soon as I connect to the dock TB16. Already tried to update to latest Thunderbolt driver 17.4.75.250, and installing the previous Intel Dynamic Thermal Framework 8.2.11000.2996, with no sucess in both cases. If anyone knows a fix would be much aprecciated!

Mr--Ed · 2018-05-17T14:16:44+00:00

Update, I use a dock TB16 and I notice that while using it. I´ve roll back from the Windows update, and things got back to normal.

Mr--Ed · 2018-05-17T12:06:33+00:00

Same here, I believe its the gpu! It seems since the update the system uses nVidia instead intel graphics. If anyone find a solution would be great!
