                The DC-920 DC Coupler for my Cannon GL-2 MiniDV camcorder purchased from B&H not only worked great but also added to my already fantastic purchase experience with a more than fair price. I encourage everyone needing photo equipment or supplies to first contact B&H. You will not be dissapointed.

                  I have a Canon GL2 and the battery life on it is horrible, I was hired to record a dance recital and i was going to have to use at least 6 to 7 batteries per night recording. Now i have the power adapter and it has saved me from massive amounts of headaches. I would recommend this for any one planning on doing any long periods of recordings.

                  Comments about Canon DC-920 DC Coupler:

                  Th DC-920 does exactly what it is supposed to, it connects your Canon CA-920 (The standard battery charger that came with the Gl & XL series cameras) to the camera for unlimited run-time. My only complaints are minor, like the fact that when attached to the GL-2 the adapter has to be installed upside down putting unnecessary strain on the cord (The XL series camera are setup differently and this is not an issue with them). I also don't like the fact that you cannot charge a battery while powering the camera. All in all a good product, that in my opinion should have came with the cameras.

                      I had a hard time finding the product because Canon no longer support the product, its parts or service. B&H had a compatible part [...]. We use the camera for cut-a-ways at church. I have been a frequent buyer of product at B&H and will continue to use there services.Thanks,Melvin

                          The couplers worked perfect for our older GL-2 camcorders. The batteries were not working anymore so these came to our rescue.

                              This is the identical product you would receive had you bought a camera that contained the coupler. Works like a champ, quality made by canon...highly recommended for those who need this product for The Canon GL1 or GL2 and other video cameras.

                                    I lost my coupler during travel and was entirely handicapped in recording stage performances, given that even the extended battery life was not good enough for a continuous 4 hour shoot.

                                    The coupler + a firewire cable (to send output to my mac instead of recording to tape) do the trick very well.

                                      I bought this coupler to use with my Canon XL2 camera. It's awesome to use this instead of a battery if the camera is in one location for the entire shoot. Saves battery life, and I don't have to worry about the batteries dying during a shoot.

                                      Only bad thing is that the cable isn't very long. After plugging it into the camera, the charger barely reaches the ground when my camera is on the tripod.

                                        I bought a GL2 second hand from a videographer for a very good price, but he had everything but this coupler. The type of video i do demands constant power and i can't rely on batteries. I asked a local retailer what it would cost and he quoted me TRIPLE B&H's price. I couldn't be happier doing business with them. [...]

                                          I purchased the DC-920 coupler to use with a DC-900 power supply because I purchased an XL-1 without a copuler. I went to [@] and purchaes a new conector to fit the older DC-900 and cut and rewired it to the end of the coupler. This is a good deal as it is hard to find the oler style copules for the XL-1.

                                          I am happy with my wall-mount adapter; my only complaint is that I feel it should have come standard with the camera.
