  • This is a Panasonic-made USB-PD powered DC coupler (aka dummy battery) for most LUMIX cameras made since the GH3. Other than providing continuous power to your camera, on the GH7 it will enable recording high frame rate 4K video (4K120) to an external SSD.

    This is the DCC18, a Panasonic dummy battery or DC coupler for any LUMIX camera that uses either of these batteries, which includes the new GH7 and S9, the S5II and IIX, and most LUMIX cameras dating back to the GH3. It works with any power supply that supports USB-PD, (Power Delivery), and specifically 9-volt 3-amp (27 watts), or more. That includes all MacBook and some iPad power adapters, many third-party chargers, and more importantly, many V-mount batteries like these from SmallRig. Other than unlimited power, it provides two additional benefits. While many modern LUMIX cameras can be powered over USB-C directly, cameras like the GH7 and S5IIX can also record to SSD over USB-C, which means that USB port is already in use. Additionally, on the GH7, shooting 4K120 and writing to a USB SSD requires more power than the battery alone can deliver. But with the DCC18, you can combine high-frame rate 4K and SSD storage. Price, $39.95.

    Thanks for clarifying! The descriptions I was looking at made it sound like the DC coupler only worked on the GH7, really glad to hear it works on all the other same-battery cameras (GH6, etc) as well!

    Yes, I use that convenient dummy battery since GH3 (I don't remember if for GH1 and 2 it was there). And then for the S1

    For my purposes I like using a USB battery to power my Panasonic S5 and my external monitor. They both have their own internal batteries, just in case a cable gets unplugged, neither of them will completely shut off. The USB C cable for my monitor has a USB-PD to barrel plug adapter that requests the battery to supply 12V to the monitor.

    After shooting straight to SSD for a week, I don't want to go back. The only thing I'd really like to see is 4k120p to SSD from battery. I understand it might be a power draw limitation, but if it's just out of concern for battery life, I hope they enable it with a firmware update. At least allow burst shooting. Or pixel to pixel 120p. I think a lot of people will want to shoot to ssd for wildlife. Great for taking a reckless number of photos. The buffer clears much faster. Sorting and editing is noticeably faster. And it's where 120p really shines. Though, if it's between ProRes and 120p I'll probably pick ProRes most of the time, but it would be nice to have the option! 🤗

      It’s a power issue. You simply need the additional voltage. You can pair a battery bank to the dummy battery to get it portable though.

    The DCC18 would be awesome, if I could buy it. All I can find is 3rd party versions of the DCC17, but the idea of plugging a universal DC plug from a 3rd party coupler into a 3rd party battery into a new camera makes me feel like Christopher Walken in Deer Hunter.

    With DC 18 I can power my osee t5+ external monitor from camera battery?

    • @photojoseph
      @photojoseph  27 днів тому +1

      No. The DCC18 converts power from a DC source for the camera. However whatever that source is (i.e. a SmallRig battery) can also power your monitor (and many other things).

      I work for Panasonic- we love standards for electricity delivery and there is no standard for the type of power or communication (at least not one with a recognized governing body) delivered via P or D tap. That is why we won’t offer one. SAE… we need you
