For those that bump into this 5 years later, you may need a charge-only cable to make this work. The data transfer cables may cause the camcorder to think it's connected to a PC USB port and thus blocks recording while charging.
Also works with the CX440, just tried it!!! was looking for something to power for more than 2 hrs with the current 1600mah battery I currently have. This guy has solved this issue. GREAT INFO
When plugged to power bank and battery not inserted, I find the camera doesn't always turn on the first try. I have to open and close the screen multiple times before it turns on finally. Did you experience anything like this?
This is to indicate the direction in which the battery to go in. Match the arrow on the camera and on the battery so that the battery terminals will be at right side.
When I connect to the computer (for power not mass storage) or power brick I get the warning "Only playback possible during USB Power Supply". How can the Powerbank work when other supplies do not?
I was looking for a spare battery for my cx405 and it was not available in shops and online . I will try this now. May be I will attach a slim power bank to my cam. Thaks for the video.
How was it? can it work? If so you just get some compatible cablings and an arm pouch (like those people use to carry their phones for sports) to hold the battery and you can use the cam on the go.
So does this work only when the battery is out?I am thinking of purchasing either the PJ410 or the CX450, does anyone know if this definitely works with them also?
Should work, but maybe you use a type of charger that needs a battery ? Maybe some chargers won't deliver their power if they don't see a charge at the other side ? Can't help on this...
@@PhiDvideos I used original charger from the beginning. When I try to use with huawei powerbank, it can record while connected to powerbank without any battery inserted.
Cette question a l'air très intéressante. Si vous prenez 30 secondes pour le traduire en anglais je me ferai un plaisir de prendre 30 secondes pour y répondre en anglais aussi. 😉
@@PhiDvideoshow is about the out voltage of the powerbank? Because there many varieties of powerbank, example I have minimum output the powerbank is 12W. Is there any effect to the cam if I use this powerbank?
With this epic music in the background I can only think that the camera shown in this video contains the missing 18.5 minutes from the Watergate tape.
😂
this convinced me to go with the 405. The lack of aftermarket batteries was a dealbreaker until now

Can I still use this as a webcam while charging? this is for a livestream, i cant find the answer
1 year later... but your comment is good to know. This happened to me. I need to test to see if this works.... "MENU / SETTINGS / USB POWER / ON"
@@willymena amazing what random information is to be found in UA-cam comments! 🤣
Exactly the test I was looking for. Many thanks, friend!
You didn't mention info about pwer bank capacity? Guys For 20000 mah power bank how many hours will supply fir cx 405?
thanks I heard the battery only last less than 2 hours, this helped since I wanna record for more hours
Recomiendas algun modelo y características de un Power Bank?
Do you recommend any model and characteristics of a Power Bank?
No, everything is good 👍 Bigger is longer time of course 😉
it is safe for the handycam it self?
As safe as an adapter 👍
@@PhiDvideos thx bro, I've just tried, it works. 😁👍🏻
I didn't know this could be possible! Can't wait for buy it!! Thanks

No, never 🤔
Maybe you plugged it in in a 1amp charging port on your powerbank, try to plug it on a 2amp charging port, might help
感謝你的測試!!就是需要這個功能!
Mantap
What's that arrow I see beside the battery slot? Is that supposed to come out and fit a second battery?
This is not for a second battery but I dont see any utility to this part.
This is to indicate the direction in which the battery to go in. Match the arrow on the camera and on the battery so that the battery terminals will be at right side.
Yes, it is for a spare battery. you can remove the lid with plastic flat screw driver.
When I connect to the computer (for power not mass storage) or power brick I get the warning "Only playback possible during USB Power Supply". How can the Powerbank work when other supplies do not?
Do you have this : MENU / SETTINGS / USB POWER / ON ?
did you change any settings because mine doesn't seem to work.
No this is factory settings, but you have to have " power USB on" I think 👍
@@PhiDvideos oh ok thanks you so much
también se puede con la cámara sony hdr-cx675, es afirmación
Que tiene de mejoras esa que dices?
Que tal …. Donde consigo ese cable …. Por qué cuando la conecto con otro …. Se pone en modo de transferencia y no puedo grabar mientras se carga ….
@@daviddharo819 No sabría decirte ya que los cables que tengo son los originales que venían con las cámaras que tengo.
Aaaaa ok muchas gracias
I tried hooking it up as described and USB power is on still "omnly playback possible." Help
Reset parameters? In the connection menu you must have "USB power active"
Nice video, but you could have just said "remove the battery and hook up the usb charger". It would have been a lot faster! :)
Hello, is it possible to record and have it pluged into power plug?
Of course. Power plug or powerbank is the same, they give both 5 volts to the USB of the camera.
I was looking for a spare battery for my cx405 and it was not available in shops and online . I will try this now. May be I will attach a slim power bank to my cam. Thaks for the video.
How was it? can it work? If so you just get some compatible cablings and an arm pouch (like those people use to carry their phones for sports) to hold the battery and you can use the cam on the go.
Yes. It worked. Now I can do some improvement. :)
Can it work??? Have you seen this video? Do you think it is a joke? :)
How long can one record on the Powerbank once it is plugged into it.
Depending on your Powerbank capacity, but if you use HD recording the limit will be the capacity of your SD Card.
So does this work only when the battery is out?I am thinking of purchasing either the PJ410 or the CX450, does anyone know if this definitely works with them also?
Works with battery in. Don't know about others 🤔
@@PhiDvideos just confirmed it works with PJ410 also. Thanks
mais le cable qui sorte de la camera c'est toi qui la confectionné ou bien il est livré avec
Il fait partie de la caméra
I used a charger, and my cx405 won't on. Is it can on with a charger? Should itu do with powerbank only?
Should work, but maybe you use a type of charger that needs a battery ? Maybe some chargers won't deliver their power if they don't see a charge at the other side ? Can't help on this...
@@PhiDvideos I used original charger from the beginning. When I try to use with huawei powerbank, it can record while connected to powerbank without any battery inserted.
Same case, i used a original charger and the cam won't on, i will try latter with power bank i hope it's work like the video
Yes! Thanks for this.
XIAOMI POWERBANK 20000 MAH IS POSIBLE?
Yess 👍
I didn't even know that's possible... thanks a lot! :)
muchas gracias ya me sacaste de la duda gracias por el video
Bg mau tanyak apa gak ada efek samping nya pakai powerbank tu??
Cette question a l'air très intéressante. Si vous prenez 30 secondes pour le traduire en anglais je me ferai un plaisir de prendre 30 secondes pour y répondre en anglais aussi. 😉
@@PhiDvideos he asked if there any effect to the camcorder using that power bank
No effect on camcorder 👍
@@PhiDvideoshow is about the out voltage of the powerbank? Because there many varieties of powerbank, example I have minimum output the powerbank is 12W. Is there any effect to the cam if I use this powerbank?
@@dulladog Only voltage is important and must be 5 V. The power in watts is not important. If you don't go over 5V there is no danger for the cam.
Terrific music lol. Good trick by the way :-)
Thank you so much!! It worked!!
saved my life, thanks man
Gracias por compartir el vídeo!
This does not work for me any ideas?
Reset parameters? In the connection menu you must have "USB power active"
@@PhiDvideos wow thanks did not even notice this in the settings
Wow amazing that true?
terima kasih
Hay đó
Thanks bro
THANKS
