Will this power a Canon C50 via USB-C? There’s not a lot of official info on the C50 power draw but some claim it has to be 65w PD. This only does 45 but wondering if anyone has real world experience with it.
Asked by: Ricardo
Yes, the SmallRig VB50 Mini V-Mount Battery (50Wh, Black) can power the Canon EOS C50 Full-Frame Cinema Camera (Canon RF) but they recommend using upwards of 65W compared to the max 45W for stable recording without issues in higher quality recording.
