Product Description

This is a firmware upgrade for the Panasonic DMC-GH5 GH4 and Panasonic DMC-GH3.

Enables you to charge cameras powered by the DMW-DCC12 with an external high capacity V-mount or Gold mount battery.

Increasing the time it takes for the camera to shoot or for the device to work.

This cable can reach a maximum length of 35 feet. The diameter of the top is four inches (90 cm).

A short circuit test was performed on all cables before shipping to ensure the cable is in good working order. Our customer service department would be happy to assist you if your cable was defective.

Questions & Answers

In this case, is there a step down mechanism to prevent the vmount battery from burning the GHS if the dummy battery stops functioning?

The answer is yes. Your understanding of it is good. Here is a video of my GH5s powered by the GH5s

During this step does it power down the battery in my vmount unit so that I can attach it straight to my camera or do I need a mounting plate with a battery already installed?

Not at all. It is good to have you around

Selected User Reviews For Alvin's Cables D Tap to DMW DCC12 DC Coupler Coiled Cable Dummy Battery Adapter for Panasonic DMC GH5 GH4 GH3

You can run your GH5, GH5S, or GH5E for DAYS! In a nutshell, It seems that the GH series does a great job at battery life, but it seems to run out of juice when I need to run a bit longer

5/5

In this case, I would have to stop the recording, change the battery, and then start it up At a wedding I was shooting, I ran into this issue, which was a blessing since I was able to cut to a different angle while I changed the battery. So I decided I needed a better solution for this issue. A VMount Battery can run the camera for a loooonnnng time, now that I have it running from an external power supply. There was a lot of shooting during the day. Even if I still need to fit it on a gimbal, it is almost a must have, and with a Dtap Splitter or a Dtap Plate with tons of other connections, I can charge all my accessories from the same battery. I buy a splitter from Alvin's Cables as well, and I use a Vmount Plate on top of that for more versatility. An excellent price for an excellent cable service!.

Since I have only had it for about a week, I can't attest to the longevity of it, but so far, I have not encountered any issues, and the build quality seems very.
