It's about time a commercial product got made that could do this. I've been hacking solutions like this for years, glad to see something a little more polished available. Thanks for sharing, Caleb!

Great video Caleb! This is a good solution for USB power and it's not that big. Thanks for the research and for making this video. You rock bro!

hi. wanted to ask a question. once you've charged through the external charging, the camera ceased to warm?

I need this for my A6000. Thanks. I hate relying on the battery. I have a DC adapter for in studio, but this would be great for recording stock footage in the field.

Thanks for making this video. I was going to build a battery pack and this might do the trick. You can now get the E1 from Amazon or B&H for $49. Problem for me is they don't have a module for the 800D but I have an AC adapter that comes with a module that might work.

I know this is an old video, but I recently purchased the Electric Ray E1 to run my Sony a6000 as a B Cam for a live event I had to record. I did a 4hr continuous recording using the iFootage Electric Ray and a 13000mah USB Battery Bank and at the 4hr mark, the battery level was at 81% and the 6000 never overheated and thanks to the Playmemories hack, I never had a record limit issue.

Brilliant gadget. Need to wait for them to ship to the UK.

I bought a coupler on amazon for my gh5. I have pretty much the same set-up as you do. I usually have to pull the coupler battery out of my gh5 4 or 5 times before the camera will finally power up. Any idea what the problem might be?..thanks.

I've been doing this with my GH2 for the past 9 months, but with a more diy solution. I have a stepup dc-dc module and I use two 5v 2A batteries connected in parallel. Then I convert them with the module to 8.4v , hook up a dummy and its good to go. with my two 8000mah batteries I can get two to three days of shooting.

Wouldnt i just get a Sony FP-xxx with the FP50 dummy adapter plate bypassing the need for a converter? i can then velcro that to a tripod or carry in pocket if run and gun.

Something to check for when using external power solutions on Panasonic cameras:

Could you use this to power the YN216 spot LED?

Yes, this is and inexpensive option and it works reliably. I used this for a couple of years. I have just recently transitioned to another solution, which again is inexpensive and seems very reliable so far. I am using the Small Rig NPF battery plates (EB2404 and Feel World dummy battery for GH5). It is a much more elegant and simple solution.
