This was very helpful for a video shoot where I used a v-mount battery to power my Nikon camera

Works with Nikon Z6 flawlessly

I am using this with the dtap box for the tilta g series gimbal. That gimbal outputs 14.8v to the box, and then this GyroVu unit accepts 12-24v input and outputs a stable 9v Nikon Z6 batteries are 7v (which likely means closer to 8v fully charged, so I took the chance and personally Have powered the Z6 for half a dozen 2 hour starlapses and 2 lasting 7+ hours. Absolutely no heat issues, no failures, warnings, or issues in files.

Does this work with Nikon Z6/Z7? I've read online that those are a bit more finicky than D8xx series.
Asked by: Janne
We think it will fork with Nikon Z6/Z7. If any problem you can return it free of charge.

Will this work with the D850?

Will this work with the D850?
Asked by: Dustin
Yes it should. The Nikon D850 uses the EN-EL15 battery system, which is the kind of dummy battery this cable offers.

EN-EL15 gives 7V, but this dummy does 9V. Why higher? No issue of heat up?
