- Опубликовано: 1 окт 2024
- This is a Panasonic-made USB-PD powered DC coupler (aka dummy battery) for most LUMIX cameras made since the GH3. Other than providing continuous power to your camera, on the GH7 it will enable recording high frame rate 4K video (4K120) to an external SSD.

This is the DCC18, a Panasonic dummy battery or DC coupler for any LUMIX camera that uses either of these batteries, which includes the new GH7 and S9, the S5II and IIX, and most LUMIX cameras dating back to the GH3. It works with any power supply that supports USB-PD, (Power Delivery), and specifically 9-volt 3-amp (27 watts), or more. That includes all MacBook and some iPad power adapters, many third-party chargers, and more importantly, many V-mount batteries like these from SmallRig. Other than unlimited power, it provides two additional benefits. While many modern LUMIX cameras can be powered over USB-C directly, cameras like the GH7 and S5IIX can also record to SSD over USB-C, which means that USB port is already in use. Additionally, on the GH7, shooting 4K120 and writing to a USB SSD requires more power than the battery alone can deliver. But with the DCC18, you can combine high-frame rate 4K and SSD storage. Price, $39.95.

Was caught off by how to the point this video was
Haha short topic; no need to belabor the point!
Thanks for clarifying! The descriptions I was looking at made it sound like the DC coupler only worked on the GH7, really glad to hear it works on all the other same-battery cameras (GH6, etc) as well!
Yes it does!
Yes, I use that convenient dummy battery since GH3 (I don't remember if for GH1 and 2 it was there). And then for the S1
Short and straight to the point. Doesn't need anything else.
Thanks!🙏🏻
Hello sir just bought s5iix, i only see, 100p, 50p, 25p optional please help@@photojoseph
Could I connect it to the usb-c to usb cable that came with my S5IIX and use the plug that came with the S5IIX as well? Or do I need to buy a special usb-pd cable and get another power adaptor? Which one would be the most useful if I do have to buy one? Thank you!
Yep! You can use the AC adapter and cable that came with your camera.
@@photojoseph Thanks!
Hey, I've got a streaming setup where I'll just leave the camera permanently plugged in to the coupler, is this what I need? Will this damage the camera having it permanently plugged in?
This is what you need and no, it won’t damage the camera (as long as it has ventilation so won’t overheat - don’t wrap it in a blanket or anything!). Also one piece of advice - once you’ve dialed in your camera settings, power the camera off and back on with the on/off switch. The camera settings aren’t written to memory until you do that. So if you don’t, and the camera power cycles (due to power failure, or it’s unplugged, etc.), your settings will be gone.
@@photojoseph thanks, that's very helpful. I'll be ordering!
For my purposes I like using a USB battery to power my Panasonic S5 and my external monitor. They both have their own internal batteries, just in case a cable gets unplugged, neither of them will completely shut off. The USB C cable for my monitor has a USB-PD to barrel plug adapter that requests the battery to supply 12V to the monitor.
With DC 18 I can power my osee t5+ external monitor from camera battery?
No. The DCC18 converts power from a DC source for the camera. However whatever that source is (i.e. a SmallRig battery) can also power your monitor (and many other things).
Does it work with the original LUMIX S5?
Yes!
Can you use power banks with this and if yes what would be your go to Power banks to use with this? I'm thinking of using this with an S5IIx recording to an external SDD via USB C.
I don’t have any particular brands, just make sure the output is sufficient. If the form factor works for you, look at SmallRig v-mount batteries. I like that the new ones tell you the output and estimated time left.
After shooting straight to SSD for a week, I don't want to go back. The only thing I'd really like to see is 4k120p to SSD from battery. I understand it might be a power draw limitation, but if it's just out of concern for battery life, I hope they enable it with a firmware update. At least allow burst shooting. Or pixel to pixel 120p. I think a lot of people will want to shoot to ssd for wildlife. Great for taking a reckless number of photos. The buffer clears much faster. Sorting and editing is noticeably faster. And it's where 120p really shines. Though, if it's between ProRes and 120p I'll probably pick ProRes most of the time, but it would be nice to have the option! 🤗
It’s a power issue. You simply need the additional voltage. You can pair a battery bank to the dummy battery to get it portable though.
Omg that macbook charger must be so old, it's huge
LOL not at all… M2 Max MacBook Pro, bought last year.
Will it work on a GH5s?
Yes
@@photojoseph Thank you
This is great. Need to try that with powerbank
Totally works as long as the power bank can output 27W
Excellent, just waiting for it to get in stock.
Just an update, still on back order from B&H.
@BootStrapTurnerVideography says “coming soon” so that usually means they haven gotten any yet.
Do they make one for d-tap or barrel connections, or just usb-c?
Just USB. Kondor blue makes one for d-tap and possibly other connections too
I work for Panasonic- we love standards for electricity delivery and there is no standard for the type of power or communication (at least not one with a recognized governing body) delivered via P or D tap. That is why we won’t offer one. SAE… we need you
Is the DMW-DCC17GU what you're looking for?
@@lukejpme I believe so. I'm thinking of upgrading from the GH5 to the GH7 and trying to plan out my rig ahead of time.
@@lukejpme it is the DMW-DCC18
Saweet! Thank You
You bet!
The DCC18 would be awesome, if I could buy it. All I can find is 3rd party versions of the DCC17, but the idea of plugging a universal DC plug from a 3rd party coupler into a 3rd party battery into a new camera makes me feel like Christopher Walken in Deer Hunter.
It’s not shipping yet. Very soon I think though.
Cool ❤
👍🏼
Sean with the Lumix USA channel kept saying this wasn't possible. I knew it was. Just needed the right electronics inside. Glad they finally made this.
Said what wasn’t possible; a DC adapter running off USB-PD?
@@photojoseph He said it wasn't possible to make a dummy battery that would run off USB PD.
Ahh. Secrets gotta be secret until they’re not, I guess!
