After having the wrong one sent to me for my new R5 Mk II, this one was sent in an un-even exchange. Check up on what you're being sold.

What is the input voltage? USB-C has a range of voltages. I don't see a specs page for this or the adapter that connects to it.
Asked by: Victor
I'm not sure why B&H staff have answered this incorrectly like that - I have this product in my hand and it clearly states "Rated input: 20.0 volt DC or 15.0 volt DC" and under that it shows the rated output and that states "10.0 volt DC or 7.5 volt DC". The way I am reading this, and the way it is laid out on the instructions shows that the output is half the input. Hope that helps someone!

Would a P tap to USB-C cable be sufficient to power this dummy battery? If so, can you please suggest some models of cable? Thanks!
Asked by: Jake
The Canon DR-E6P DC Coupler for EOS R5 Mark II was not meant to be used with a P/D Tap cable, but theoretically it may work. This Kondor Blue cable is a good option. Kondor Blue D-Tap to USB-C Power Delivery Cable for Mirrorless Cameras (16", Raven Black) BH #KODTUSBC16BK.

Can I plug the DR-E6P to the R5ii, and the E6P to a battery bank using a usb cable eiminating the need of the Power adapter?
Asked by: Bruce
I think you could. I personally use a Kondor male USB C to D tap cable with 65w PD connected via the D tap port of a 65w capable V mount battery. The USB C end is connected to the Canon DR-E6P Coupler. I have been using this setup several times per week for over a month. My 99wh battery usually lasts about 16 hours.

Does it work with R5?

Does it work with R5?
Asked by: Sang
It should work if the camera's firmware has been updated to at least 2.1.0 which allows the new Canon lp-e6p battery to work in the R5 camera. The older batteries are no longer being sold so even if you are powering your camera via battery you need this firmware update if you purchase a new battery.
