I use this all the time now. Extends my battery life of my camera. I love the cord. Fits my VMount battery perfectly. Feels durable and it functions as intended.

**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.

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.)

Consistent. Fits perfect in my a7iii, doesn’t give me any connection issues. This is a level up for videography.The best part… SmallRig LASTS - without breaking the bank.

I am updating my review because SmallRig reached out to me to correct the problem with my original order. I have tested the latest version and have not had any further issues. SmallRig customer support was very friendly, helpful, and generous.I am changing my rating to 4 stars. It seems like the product is solid, but I have to be honest about a bit of uncertainty that I still feel about my initial experience. I will update again if anything else arises.Original Review: 1 StarDo not trust this Power Cable to provide consistent power to the camera. I had this cable fail during a shoot and it was really frustrating. The unexpected loss of power resulted in a corrupted video file for an important shot. I was using a Canon R5c and SmallRig V Mount Battery VB99.

Una excelente aditamento sobre todo si tienes una batería externa de smallring. Dejé de tener los problemas de grabación de una hora.

Defective product. I've used other LP-E6 (style) dummy to DTAP before and they work. This one doesn't. Too late to return apparently.
