NEEWER D Tap to LP-E6NH Dummy Battery with Cable for V Mount
NEEWER D Tap to LP-E6NH Dummy Battery with Cable for V Mount Battery, Stable Continuous Power Supply for Canon EOS R5 C R6 R7 5D II III IV 6D II 7D II 60D 60Da 70D 80D 90D XC10 XC15 5DS R, VP-LPE6NH
This adapter harnesses the capacity of an external battery to go far beyond what a LP-E6NH battery can offer. It needs a battery or power source with a D-Tap connector or an adapter from a D-Tap connector to your power source. This surrogate battery is recognized as a legitimate battery on both my R6 and my 70D cameras. The product title calls it an LP-E6NH but the only difference between Canon’s LP-E6, LP-E6N and LP-E6NH is the capacity, and this adapter has no capacity by itself, so the naming is not really telling more than the form factor, fitting the list of Canon camera models.
The build is very good: smooth surface, bending-protected wire terminals, reliable contacts. The description states there is protection circuitry embedded in this adapter, but there is no way I can tell how effective it may be. I can only tell it all works smoothly, and there is no need to interrupt what I am doing just to switch batteries — especially when using the camera to shoot video this is making quite a difference.
I recently received a couple of v mount batteries to use with my Canon mirrorless cameras (R7 & R6 II). I used a USB-C cable to power them from the v mount batteries but decided a D Tap cable with the dummy battery would be a useful option. I’m quite familiar with Neewer products and I’ve always been satisfied with them so I ordered this D Tap to LP-E6NH dummy battery. It works perfectly! The only challenge was trying to figure out how to route the cable properly. It took me a second to figure out it the cable has to be fed into the cutout on the dummy battery and then moved to the side of it. (It’s a little hard to explain but, at first, I was just trying to push it down into the cutout but it was still hitting the battery compartment door. Then, I realized it has to go down under the battery.)
The cable is nice and thick and seems quite durable. I’m quite satisfied with it.
This high quality D Tap dummy battery is exactly what I needed to use my mini V mount battery with my Canon 5Div and R6. The cord is flexible and a decent length.
I haven’t done so yet but plan to test to see if it’s a practical power option for my Edelkrone gear that takes LP-E6N’s. I’ll update if I’m able. Success would be a bonus, it’s already a 5 star item for me.
This dummy battery is what you need to run your camera off a V battery with a D Tap on it or the mount. It is well made and not cheap like some. The cord is soft and flexible and the dummy battery fits perfectly. It has a slot on the bottom with a hook-like feature that allows the cord to swing out for cameras with side exits for the cord.
