The Newell D-Tap NP-FW50 adapter is a dummy battery power adapter that powers Sony NP-FW50-type cameras and devices from an external source. It is compatible with models such as the a7, a7 II, a7R.
Why choose the Newell D-Tap NP-FW50 adapter?
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.
