Watson DCC-NPF Reviews

In Short Time, It Exploded

By Michael

Used To Power Up Two Of Our Atomos Shinobi Ii 5.2" Monitors. Worked For A Short Amount Of Time, And Then We Couldn't Get Our Monitors To Power Up. Actually Thought It Was The Monitors Themselves For A Bit! Then, While Troubleshooting To Determine If It Was An Adapter Or Monitor Issue, The Watson D-Tap Dummy Battery Exploded. Thankfully No One Was Holding It. Thankfully There Was Only One Bright Flash But No Fire. There Was Smoke. Thankfully It Didn't Damage The Monitor. We Bought Two Watson Dummy Batteries. Neither Work Now. One Exploded. Proceed With Caution.

Working as advertised. A must-have item IMO for your kit

This is a great thing to have in your kit. Like most of you, I use L-Series NP-F batteries a lot because so many accessories use them (lights, monitors etc..). Heck, even some cameras use N-PF's. And although I love the NP-F batteries, being able to power these accessories with a longer lasting v-mount battery is wonderful. This little dummy battery is a total game-changer. It lets you power your monitor, light, or even your camera using a separate, professional D-Tap battery. Seriously, it’s a lifesaver when you need that extra juice for your gear. No more worrying about your battery dying in the middle of a shoot! A nice feature is the built-in regulator. It can handle up to 16.8V input with an 8.2V output, which is perfect for keeping your equipment running smoothly and keeping everything safe. The coiled cable is another nice and thoughtful feature. It stretches up to 24 inches, giving you plenty of flexibility to position your video rig just the way you like it without being tethered too tightly to your power source. It’s super handy, especially when you need a bit more room to maneuver, but also coils back up nice and small, when you don't. I like that. The cord and connections also seem well made to me. It should last a long time. Overall, I'm very happy with this dummy battery from Watson. It’s been reliable, versatile, and makes managing my power sources a breeze. I feel it is a must-have on everyone's kit. And as you can see from my pictures, I also buy Watson brand batteries. They've been great too.
