The Neewer VP-BLC12 is a dummy battery power adapter that powers Panasonic DMW-BLC12-type cameras and devices from an external source.
Why choose the Neewer VP-BLC12?
A dummy battery (DC coupler) sits in the camera’s battery compartment just like a normal battery, but draws power from an external source such as mains power, a USB-C power bank or a V-mount battery. That lets your camera run continuously without battery swaps.
This is ideal for long video recordings, livestreams, interviews, time-lapses, product photography and studio sessions, where changing a battery would interrupt the shot or move the camera out of position.
Fully decoded dummy batteries communicate with the camera like a normal battery, and built-in regulation and protection keep the supplied voltage stable and safe for your equipment.
Key specifications: model VP-BLC12; input voltage 9.6 – 20V; type D-Tap to DMW-BLC12 dummy battery; power source V-mount battery (D-Tap); cable length 1.6m (fully stretched).
