Gonine DMW DCC12 Power Supply GH5 GH4 Dummy Battery for Panasonic Camera | Compatible with Lumix DC-G9 DMC-GH3 GH3K GH4K GH3H GH4H G9 G9L G9K, AC8 AC10 AC Adapter Charger Kit.

I got the Gonine DMW-DCC12 power adapter for my Panasonic GH5, thinking that I would be shooting long conference sessions. I haven't done much with the conferences yet, but I have used the Gonine adapter for long-term time-lapse videos and for an animation project. For less than $20, it is the perfect way to keep the GH5 powered for extended times. The GH5 even has a little "trap door" for the power adapter's cable to pass through, so that the battery door can be closed properly. (You can see this in the photos I posted.) In the photos, I show the Panasonic GH5 set up to do an animation project. The camera is mounted overhead, pointing straight down at a table where the animation work is done. With the Gonine DMW-DCC12 power adapter, I can run the camera as long as I like, working for hours at a time without having to bother with swapping batteries. The Gonine DMW-DCC12 adapter is the perfect accessory for an application like this. I've now used the Gonine DMW-DCC12 adapter several times, and it has always worked flawlessly. It is easy to use, inserts exactly like a standard camera battery, and it is a steal at the price. I recommend the Gonine DMW-DCC12 power adapter for the Panasonic GH5.

I bought this to connect to my GH5 in the studio so I wouldn't need to charge batteries so often. Pros 1. Works fine. Kept my GH5 powered on with no power fluctuations or random shut offs. 2. Prices seem well made enough. 3. Relatively cheap. Cons 1. I wish the cables were longer. I had to rest the power brick part of this on my tripod, otherwise it just hung there. Not a huge deal. Overall, I would recommend this product. It works fine and really does save you a ton of micromanagement charging batteries if you consistently shoot somewhere with an outlet.

We record performances for my wife’s school and sometimes they go over and hour and a battery swap was required. Now that we have this, our only factor is how large of SD cards are in the camera. We’ve recorded over 3 hours straight with zero issues on the power supply. Would definitely buy again!

The product feels kind of flimsy and cheap, but then again it is much cheaper than other options. It does work as intended.

We have only had a chance to test one of these out thus far on one of our GH5 setups in the studio, however it has been doing quite well and we can easily see expanding on the number of these we have in inventory. It does exactly what it is supposed to and for the price, it makes this a steal. Sure beats swapping the battery out every 30 or so minutes (we tend never to run on battery unless we leave the studio and go mobile for a show or similar situations). We didn't know what to expect at first since we haven't had any experience with the brand, however the price of the supply was too good to pass up a try. So far, we are glad we gave it a shot.

Although it's a bit of a bulky item to power your camera, if you're shooting in the studio (especially on a tripod or camera stand) then it's size is not really any big deal. And this aftermarket version doesn't appear to be any larger than the mfr's original. The price is certainly much better. There's nothing complicated about it, just pop the "dummy" in the battery compartment and hook the connectors together, provide A/C power and forget it's there. I was shooting some food video clips with my GH4 and one of my standard batteries wouldn't charge any longer, leaving me with only one, which ran down too quick for my liking when I used the rear viewing screen a lot. This Gonine adapter solved the issue inexpensively. There's no moving parts to wear so hopefully it's internal circuitry will last awhile. If so, then it's a fantastic deal!

it works and does the job, no weird electrical drops for me (fingers crossed). But you should treat it delicately, the build quality is a little light. I treat it gently and do not let parts hang in a way that there is any stress on them, if i did it probably wouldn't last long.

When doing longer shoots in- studio or where the camera will be in-place for a while - long shows etc - this works great. Fitment and quality seem good - camera has no issues with it. I always use some Gaff tape on the push together connection between the battery adapter and the cable from the power supply so they don't pull apart with a trip over the cable or gravity etc. Price and delivery were good. Go for it---

Measured voltage output was just over 8.9V, without load. Drops to around 8.1V with a good load, which is about the same as the actual battery's output. Worked without issue. Came nicely packaged. Doesn't get as hot as my old AC/DC adapter, which had one of its capacitors pop after about 4 years of continued use. I'm not sure what's in this adapter, but the old one had two cheap chinese 1000uF 16V low-esr capacitors for output filtering. I considered just replacing them, but figured I might as well just buy a better adapter entirely. Hopefully there are better caps in this one; I'd assume so. Time will tell. I put a few more RFI clips on the cable, to help lower any potential noise that might leak into the mic input; not sure if that's needed though. Just a few other commenters mentioned that being an issue, but the cable already came with one built in. I'll update my review if it ever breaks

Not that great

Very happy with it. Makes my GH5S intoawebcam for work at home. No batteries to worrie about. Plug and play. Great.

Nice long cable just what 8 needed
