SmallRig LP-E6NH Dummy Battery for Canon, D-Tap to LP-E6NH LP-E6N LP-E6

**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.

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.

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.)

My R5C will not power on using this adapter connected to a fully charged Smallrig v-mount battery, even after waiting 90+ seconds after connecting it. Frustrating.

It's a must have with Cannon RC5!

I wasn't blown away by this, but I will say it's been a handy addition. Before picking this up, I powered my camera off of my v-mount battery using USB. That was kind of nice because it allowed me to charge the camera between takes, and then if the V-Mount died, I had the internal battery as a backup. But I decided to pick this up just to kind of streamline the rig. And it works well. The design lines up with the cable out port on my R6 just perfectly. Went it no problem. The cord length is enough to have some room to play around with rigging options, so I'm not worried about that. For the money, it's good. It's not the best value ever, and I'm sure there are other competitors that do the job exactly the same. But this is work for me and I'm happy with the purchase.

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

Good quality,

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 !!!!
