SMALLRIGD-TAP Replacement Dummy Battery for Canon LP-E6NH, for Canon R5, R5 C, R6, R7, R, 5D II/III/IV, 6D, 6D II, 7D, 7D II, 60D, 60Da, 70D, 80D, 90D, XC10, XC15, 5DS, 5DS R Cameras

Works exactly as needed.

Purchased this after a milky way timelapse got cut short by poor battery life from the 2 LP-E6NH batteries in my 5D4 battery grip gave out. I have since been able to shoot long timelapse sequences with this dummy battery connected to an external V battery with much higher capacity. The 5D4 has a small rubber seal that you will pull out of the way for the cord to fit. If using it in the battery grip tray, do not install it with another battery as you will receive an error. Otherwise, the camera accepts it just like any battery. This is a good purchase for anyone shooting long intervals, timelapse, or long video where battery failure is terminal to the shoot. (My motion control system is also powered by v batteries, so I already had those on hand.)

I have been trying for years to get "THE" perfect and long lasting battery option for my Sony A7IV and I think...I hope, I have found a long lasting, non-harmful option by using thus Smallrig adapter. Worked (so far) flawlessly!! I connect a 100w Vmount battery to my sling camera strap and connect the adapter to both and it is AMAZING!!!

Works great, half the cost as manufacturer.Bought one for other camera models i own as well

Build Quality is average. Ran into an issue with the D-Tap cracking quickly, however this could've been with the quick swap environment we film in. No power issues. Does as advertised.

**Update. After leaving the previous review, SmallRig offered a full refund on the product. I have been a SmallRig user for a good while and fully support the products they make. Sadly it was something small in the design that made my setup not functional or make sense to use this setup.Not being able to spin the d tap plug is a bit frustrating. The direction the cable sticks out while being plugged in makes this not useable unfortunately. Previous d tap setups, I’ve been able to unscrew the end and flip it so the cable comes out the other direction if that makes sense.

Full smallrig setup with external 99kw battery never worry about power supply

The media could not be loaded. Flew out to Vegas to film for a production. I brought my Canon R5C for filming. I was setting up my rig with the smallrig dtap and ZGcine v160 battery. I placed the dummy in my camera and plugged into the battery, immediately a loud pop and smoke coming from the battery compartment. My heart stopped. Pulled the battery as quickly as possible from the camera. Luckily I had backup options and luckily after power cycling a few times my camera turned on again. I had only used this adapter a 1-2 other times so disappointed as I generally like smallrig products. I am not sure if I would ever trust this product again for critical work. Buyer beware use at your own risk! This could have cost me 5k plus if the camera alone was damaged and the production would have been a flop... Opened it up when I got home because I could hear rattling inside, as you can see the capacitor completely exploded inside. Maybe they are using faulty or cheap capacitors but just a heads up to anyone looking into this unit.
