Intro - 00:00
In this video, we look at some alternative power options for your camera! We talk about both powering your camera in the field, as well as at home when plugged into the wall, and look at some solutions for both use cases.
Field Power - 01:30
There are really two ways to go about powering your camera in the field. The first is charging your camera batteries in the field, and the second is directly powering your camera off a larger power source such as a USB battery bank. The first is helpful for long trips without access to wall power, and the second can be useful when changing batteries is difficult such as when shooting video or time-lapses.
Luckily, camera brands are starting to catch on, and many newer camera chargers are USB-powered allowing them to be used in the field or at home. This means that a simple USB power bank can be used to keep your batteries charged in the field. If your camera charger doesn’t support USB power, many aftermarket chargers are available (see the links above).
Home Power - 07:27
If you are looking to power your camera directly off a larger power source, check to see if your camera supports charging or powering via USB. If it does, simply buy a USB power bank (linked above) and directly connect it to your camera. Do be sure to get a power bank that supports the same power standard as your camera (Power Delivery “PD” or PowerIQ). If your camera doesn’t support USB power directly, just pick up a Tether Tools Case Relay with a “dummy battery” and you’ll be good to go!
Lastly, if you are looking to power your camera for longer at home (this is super helpful for video shooters), a dummy battery with an AC adapter or USB “wall wart” can be a great option.
Whatever your power goals are, there is most likely a power solution that will fit your needs!
