The SmallRig 4252 D-Tap to LP-E6NH Dummy Battery Power Cable is designed for photographers and videographers using Canon cameras who require a reliable, continuous power source for extended shooting sessions. By connecting your camera to an external V-mount battery via a D-Tap port, you eliminate the need for frequent battery swaps, making it ideal for live streaming, time-lapses, and long studio shoots. The primary caveat is that it requires the camera's battery compartment door to be fully closed for the safety switch to engage, so users must ensure their camera model supports cable routing through the door's built-in cutout.

Yes, it is compatible with most V-mount batteries featuring a standard D-Tap output, though using a reputable brand like SmallRig is recommended for better safety features.
No, this is a dummy battery and does not store or accept a charge; it only provides power directly to the camera from the external source.
The cable is 2 meters long, which is sufficient for most shoulder rigs, tripod setups, and cage builds.
Yes, it is compatible with the Canon EOS R5.
Yes, it is constructed from fire-resistant PVC and ABS for professional durability.
While the device includes safety protections, it is best practice to power down your external battery source when the camera is not in active use.
Ensure the battery compartment door is completely closed and locked. Most cameras have a safety switch that prevents power flow if the door is open.
Verify the dummy battery is fully seated in the slot. If the issue persists, check the D-Tap connection to ensure it is providing steady voltage.
To ensure peak performance, always connect the dummy battery to your external power source before inserting it into the camera. Ensure your D-Tap power source outputs the correct voltage and utilizes reliable equipment—SmallRig recommends pairing this with their own line of V-mount batteries for optimal protection.
Compatibility Note: This unit is compatible with a wide array of Canon models including the EOS 5D series, 6D series, 7D series, 60D/70D/80D/90D, as well as the R, R5, R6, and R7. Please note it is explicitly not compatible with the EOS R5 Mark II.
Care Instructions: Keep the cable free of tangles and avoid sharp bends at the connection points. Periodically inspect the dummy battery contacts for dust or debris to maintain a clean connection, and store in a cool, dry place when not in use.
