What's your favorite way to power your camera? 🔋

[@StarAccount-km1rt]

Chad thank you so much. This is exactly what I needed to know. Took a while to find someone on the web who showed the solution I was looking for. I saw, I listened and a bought in a heart beat!

[@DarkTrapStudio]

1. Internal
2. Power Bank
3. Power Cord / Dummy Batterie
4. Vmount
5. Dummy Batterie

[@chadwin]

Thanks for watching! Yep, I tried to keep it really straightforward and just show what works for me when powering my cameras.
I still want to try the v-mount battery on a belt! I think it could be a really good solution, especially when running a gimbal and you don't want to hold up all that weight in your arms.

[@ball_a29000]

Great video, man! I use a Power Bank to power my camera :))

[@chadwin]

Thanks man! Yeah, a power bank is just so convenient and simple for powering cameras, I love it.

[@janananna]

Always like to hear your advice. You do such a good job explaining everything. ❤

[@chadwin]

Thank you for always watching! 👏

Cool thumbnail 👍⚡️

[@chadwin]

thanks!

[@OttoFilmStudios]

I’d use a powe bank to power my camera as I have a very good one - the problem is, my camera’s so old it doesn’t actually accept USB power lol 😅

[@chadwin]

Yeah, that's definitely a problem with the older cameras. My older models when I had them, like the Canon T3i and some others wouldn't accept USB power either. Hopefully your next camera upgrade does!
