SmallRig D-TAP Replacement Dummy Battery for Canon LP-E6NH, for Canon R5, R5 C, R6, R7, R, 5D II/III/IV, 6D, 6D II, 7D, 7D II, 60D, 60Da, 70D, 80D, 90D, XC10, XC15, 5DS, 5DS R Cameras

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.)

**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.

It does the job!

Build Quality is average. Ran into an issue with the D-Tap cracking quickly, however this could've been with the quick swap environment we film in. No power issues. Does as advertised.

I use the SmallRig D-TAP Replacement Dummy Battery for my Canon R6 Mark II, and it works flawlessly. It lets me run my camera off a V-Mount battery, which is a huge help for long shoots and weddings. Everything SmallRig makes feels high-quality, and this battery adapter is no exception — solid, reliable, and easy to use.

I plugged this in my canon r5c for the first time and it fried my camera on a job. $1500 repair at canon and Smallrig would not pay any part of it. I believe the polarity may have been wired wrong. I Smallrig is great for cheap hardware accessories but I WILL NOT buy again for electronics. Buyer beware. Not worth saving the money on this to only have a huge repair bill and be down a camera on a job.

So far it's held up well. No issues so far. I use it with Canon R5 and R7 and it does what it is supposed to do. I would recommend to anyone needing a D-Tap dummy for an LP-E6 battery. Works just the same as my Kondor Blue, except it is black.

Works fine on Canon R6II but does not work on Canon R5II. Not a design flaw or defect just not compatible with the new R5II battery needs.

vale a pena, funciona perfeitamente

Very useful

Bei Dummy Akkus ist das immer ein gewisses Risiko, ob sie für das individuell verwendete Setup funktionieren oder nicht, das kann individuell ganz unterschiedlich sein. Bei mir funktioniert der Dummy Akku Gott sei Dank. Mein Setup: Canon R5C, Dummyakku mit D-Tap Anschluss verbunden mit SMALLRIG V Mount Battery VB99 SE, 99Wh / 6800mAh. An dem VB99 wird neben der R5C auch gleichzeitig mein Iphone 15 pro max über usbc geladen. Alles problemlos.

La verdad es que smallrig nunca decepciona .. excelente funcionamiento !!!!

L'ho preso per alimentare la mia fotocamera R5c, funziona benissimo.
