Can I use this to power a small HD 502 bright in to a 12 volt port?
Asked by: Grant
If you’re looking to power the 502 independently of the mains, then no (unless you pick up a sine-wave converter like a vagabond/batpac/etc). If you have access to an outlet, then I suspect yes - but a straight 12v adapter would make much more sense.

For the 5D Mark III, I found the battery door needs to close for the camera to turn on. How have you used the coupler with the battery door since there is no space for the coupler wire to close the door? Or have you taken off the door, in which case, how did you depress the trigger so that it would recognize the power source and turn on.
Asked by: Thanh
You will find a rubber flap on the inboard side of the battery compartment near the door opening. Be sure to feed the wire through the retainer plastic piece on the top of the coupler prior to securing the AC battery in the compartment.

Would this work to power the Blackmagic pcc4K? It uses the same E6 batteries that my 5D does. I want to plug in the Blackmagic to the DC output on my Zhiyun Crane 2. Thanks
Asked by: Justin
It will not. While this does have the proper LP-E6 style dummy battery for the Pocket Cinema Camera 4K it is not compatible with the Crane 2.

Does it takes 12v and convert it to 7.2 or 8v, or you have to feed it directly with 8v?

Will this work with Canon compact power adapter CA-PS400?
Asked by: Peter
No you will need the AC-E6N AC adapter. Together with the DR-e6, it works very well! I used the combo with a Battery inverter for an all night start shoot and had zero problems.

Asked by: Bruce
The Canon DC Coupler DR-E6 is not compatible with the Canon EOS R5 Mark II Mirrorless Camera. For this camera you will need the Canon DR-E6P DC Coupler for EOS R5 Mark II and the Canon PD-E2 USB Power Adapter.
