If you shoot videos on a dslr, stop wasting your time swapping & recharging the batteries every few hours. You can power it with a DC coupler that plugs straight into an outlet.
To make it work, you need 2 components; but first figure out your battery type (my Canon 80D uses LP-E6.)
I bought a Gonine product that includes both:
- The dummy battery (DC coupler, model DR-E6)
- The power adapter (AC adapter, model ACK-E6)
As the video shows, the dslr records & functions just like it would with a battery (well, it should as long as the AC adapter provides steady power.)
NOTE:
If you hear an electric hum in your audio that wasn’t there with battery power, you’re probably connected to a “dirty” power line with a ground loop issue (you might want to google search “electrical hum ground loop noise”.)
(It shouldn’t apply to this Gonine since it has a ferrite bead choke.)
