          We used the power tap with the 5D and a Anton Bauer system, It allows us to optimize our battery power. Wonderful!

                Comments about Switronix XP-DSLR-C Power Tap:

                I've got a very large 5 lb. Genesis Battery Pack. I needed an adapter to connect my 7D's AC/DC adapter to the battery so I could use it as a counter-weight on my shoulder rig. A few snips here and there and some technical tweaks and it works just fine.
                Brilliant.

                      My unit seems to have a bad wire somewhere and frequently cuts out. Also, both the amber and green LEDs stay on all the time.
