DMW-DCC8 Gonine DC Coupler DMW-AC8 AC Power Adapter Camera Charger Kit for Panasonic FZ200, FZ1000, GH2, G5, G6, G7, Lumix GX8 G85 Cameras (DMW-BLC12 Battery Replacement)

I was hesitant to get this for my Lumix G7 because people reported buzzing when recording into the camera. I can report using a Rode shotgun mic plugged into the camera the audio sounds exactly the same as when on a battery. This definitely solved a problem for me with an upcoming shoot where I need the camera to run around 90 minutes uninterrupted and this should do the trick.

What an excellent product it makes it so I can be hooked up to my computer wirelessly all day long and just keep snapping pictures. Don’t have to worry about the Battery running out and having to reset the camera to the Wi-Fi. Works flawlessly very simple to use and if you treat it right, it should last for ever. I do unplug it from the camera when I’m done for the evening that way when the camera goes into sleep mode, it’s not sitting there locking up the camera, which is possible.

I give lectures and also zoom conference calls. So using this instead of the battery gives me a lot of peace of mind knowing that I won't lose the end of an important lecture, or get cut off in the middle of a call with a client .Works well. Seems very well made. Doesn't seem to get hot or anything worrying like that. So yes I would recommend to others.

For a short review in case your don’t want to read the longer section…. It’s a great product. It fit the G7 camera which is what this was purchased for. Each time I use it the camera is on and running for 6-8 hours and I plugged when not using used. No negatives so far.I previously bought one of these from a different company. It had great reviews but just one person said it fried his camera. I then looked for another one and saw this company’s name on the advertising section towards the bottom of the page. Note it didn’t come up when I searched “G7 Dummy Battery”… I had to type “Gonine G7 dummy battery” for it to come up. Anyways, as I’m sure you can see it has a lot of reviews and a very large majority are positive. The small amount of negative ones that I have seen seem to be minor issues like it didn’t fit etc.. Anyways, I bought it and have used it probably 2 dozen times. Each time I have used it the camera was on about 6-8 hours per use. I have seen no downsides or negatives as of yet.

Just got mine and immediately hooked it up to my camera (Lumix G7) for testing. Works like a charm. As with other users, I noticed a significant (like ridiculous) hum/buzz when I hooked up my shotgun mic (Rode). Clearly interference going through the mic jack. No hum whatsoever when using the built-in mic or lapel mics though. Would love to be able to use it with the shotgun, but I doubt there's any A/C adapter out there that wouldn't do that.

I have a Panasonic Lumix G85 mirrorless camera and use it for my podcast. After buying this product, I no longer fear my camera dying or even going into sleep mode to conserve battery. Actually it doesn't turn off at all. Remember that when the camera is plugged in that you have to actually turn it off. That's not a complaint as the camera was used as a webcam. It's just a reminder for those looking to buy this item.

The media could not be loaded. Instead of using your camera battery, you can use this battery adapter to power up your camera. You will not have to charge or swap batteries since this is a direct wired connection for those that are next to outlets or portable chargers. When I sit at my desk here, I have this in my camera and I don't have to take off a battery to recharge. I just leave it in and press record and never worry about a dead battery. The only negative thing I can say about using these are, you cant close the battery door due to the wire that has to come out of course, but you can use the camera perfectly fine while it's open, as it doesn't interrupt me at all.

I took a gamble on these since they didn't have any reviews yet, but they were exactly what I needed. I got three of these for some Panasonic FZ1000 cameras my church just purchased, and so far they've been working great (I've only tried two of the three; we haven't purchased a third camera yet). Operation is simple, so there's not much to say. No problems; worked right out of the box. The cable length is decent, and the "fake battery" part snaps into the camera like a regular battery would.I saw in a review of a similar adapter that it introduced noise into the audio recording for whatever camera they were using, but I have not experienced any noise with this adapter. I did a long recording (three hours to a Blackmagic HyperDeck Shuttle) using the internal camera mic, and I didn't hear any static or other electrical interference.I will update this if we have any issues, but based on the initial experience I give these a solid 5/5.
