Is this coupler compatible with the canon M6 mark two? The opening for a coupler is much smaller than the barrel plug.
Asked by: Jeremy
The way the Watson CBA-C2 AC Adapter and DC Coupler connects to the camera is different than in the original Canon ac adapter, so I don't believe it will work with the Canon M6 II. I recommend getting the original Canon DC Coupler DR-E17 (BH #CADRE17) and the original Canon AC Adapter CA-PS700 (BH #CACAPS700).
