I found the great 10,000 mAh 18W PD power banks while shopping for something else at Office Depot the other day. They are by a company called Nimble. I ended up getting three due to the size and PD option. Thanks for all the helpful videos - it's made anything with my GH6 easier to find answers for.
Two years later....I bought an Inui powerbank, 27500mah capacity, this has a screen informing the user how long the battery will last powering the camera. For tripod work I bought several items off Aliexpress to make a useful battery holder...a superclamp for the tripod leg, a V Mount adapter set and an L bracket. The L bracket takes the battery and a bongo tie secures it.
Yeah, that looks like a decent power bank. I love creating a contraption from camera bits 🙂 I quite often use Bongo Ties to strap stuff onto my camera rig or secure it.
Hello, thank you for this video! Small question however: if the voltage of the battery to be recharged is more important than the voltage of the powerbank, can we still use this powerbank? In this case the powerbank you offer has 5v and the Panasonic DMW-BLK22E batteries have a voltage of 7.2v. Thank you in advance for the answer!
Hi, no problem. You need a power bank with a USB PD port capable of 9V 3A power delivery if you want the battery to be charged whilst the camera is on. If your power bank can't deliver that, you will be able to charge it while the camera is off. The camera regulates the power going into the port to the battery.
@@stevelitton OK thanks for the answer. However, I just saw that the default power supply of the device provides 5v while the battery is on 7.2v, I guess there is a transformer in the device to adjust. But know that the battery recharges well despite the fact that the power is at 5v and the device is on obs. So, is it really necessary to have 9v 3A on a powerbank?
@@MojitoBienfrais I don't quite follow. Are you saying that your power bank is delivering a charge to the camera whilst switched on at 5V. You will know if it is delivering sufficient charge as the plug icon will appear next to the battery icon on the screen.
@@stevelitton I have not yet bought powerbank but I say that if my panasonic power supply provided with 5v and that still charges the 7.2v battery while the device is on, then why bought a 9v powerbank? Is 5v not enough?
Oh sorry, I finally understand what you mean. You are plugging in the charger supplied with the camera. This does work but it's not giving it the same level of charge while the camera is on. When you have the camera switched on and connect the charger the camera will tell you to switch it off to charge it (this won't happen with a 9v 3a power bank,). It does offer a form of trickle charge though, similar to less powerful power banks. Hope that helps.
I also wonder how I can power my GH6 (on a tripod) and plus a ssd drive at the same time (or plus my ronin sc for focus monitor). There is only one USB entry and different functions needed (power, data flow…). Any insight? Thanks
At that point you are looking at a V Mount solution or you could use something like this for more controlled shots 👉 ruclips.net/video/wuXk-GsRgV4/видео.html
you can plug the Anker into the charger that comes with the GH6. Charge a battery while using another battery when having a holder attached to the cage is not a good option
Hi Steven, thanks a lot for all of your helpful videos which helped a lot starting with my GH6. Regarding powering GH6, what do you think of Vmount batteries? I assume they are used only if you need to power several parts at the same time (monitor + GH6 + etc). Is it worth the price compared to your power bank ?
Hi, no problem at all, I am glad you are finding them useful 👍 I do use V Mount batteries and have a video coming soon about my set up. They are really useful if you want to free up the USB port on the camera for SSD recording. They both have slightly different uses, the power bank is more versatile for charging other devices but the V Mount battery can power multiple video devices as you say.
Hi, yes it does, I have tried the BLK22 and the DCC17 dummy battery in the GH5 and it works fine. I don't have a GH5s but I imagine it would just work the same. I haven't tested it extensively, so don't know what the battery life would be but it doesn't work. Not sure I would recommend it for extensive use 🙂
Not sure if youll see this, but my GH6 is operating differently. When I attached my Anker Powercore Elite III to the camera, it keeps trying to see my camera as external storage. The only time I can power the camera is when it is shut off.
Hi, you need to go to the menu and look under 'spanner' -> 'square with wifi symbol' and that should be the IN/OUT menu. Then find 'USB' and under 'USB Mode' make sure that is set to 'Select on connection' and 'USB Power Supply' is set to on. Then give it a go again and you should be up and running.
@@stevelitton Hey Steven, I appreciate the reply. Unfortunately, all of those options were set by default. When I plug in the power bank, it gives me to USB Mode menu and forces me to choose the type of connection, but USB power isnt one of them. UPDATE** I figured out the problem. For some reason, you cannot go from USB-C to USB-C it has to plug into one of the USB-A ports on the power bank.
That's odd, I don't think that power bank has a pd connection but it should still offer a trickle charge to the camera. Have you tried a different type of cable to charge the camera? Try the one from the official charger if you haven't already.
Hello! how will you solve the problem of powering the camera if you record on a portable ssd? .. this option is good only for. short filming and if you have at least 2 memory cards
Hey, right now the SSD recording isn't an option, so not a problem. I will still be bringing that power bank with me anyway to charge my drone and mic batteries. I am hoping that Panasonic release a USB C dummy battery, if not I will just buy a 3rd party one. I was told Power Junkie may be releasing a BLK22 dummy battery, so I am keeping an eye out for that.
Love what you are doing. I could use help with setting the dials as it is something that I have never fully understood. Also wondering is there a way to "lock" the shutter angle? I set it to 180 but have to be careful that I don't knock it about.
Thanks, really appreciate it! Not that I know of but you could set it in the lever lock settings - ruclips.net/video/UVrezVH2xh4/видео.html Do you mean setting the C dials on the top of the camera?
@@stevelitton The front and rear dials that can control exp comp or ISO or shutter angle. When I go into the menu and try and set it up I mostly screw things up :-)
@@makethemost Yeah it can be a bit fiddly to remember what is where on the controls. I use the lever lock to stop from knocking or accidentally pressing buttons when working sometimes if my attention isn't fully on the camera.
this would prevent you from being able to record to an ssd correct? I'm looking at the vmount smallrig battery, does the kondor blue dtap you showed before work well with the gh6?
Hi, it looks like that power bank is on the supported device list, so that should work fine. You can see the list here - av.jpn.support.panasonic.com/support/global/cs/dsc/connect/mobile_battery/index.html
From my experience of buying the wrong power bank twice in the span of a couple days I'd like to add that Anker's power IQ 3.0 now supports fast charging PD devices, previous versions didn't
They say so, yes! I also stuggled to get the right kind of powerbank. I have ended up with Powercore III Elite 26000ah and 87W, supply 9v 3amp they say and have PD. I have tried different cables, but still I cant get the battery to charge and supply power during use. Any suggestions? Did you get the meny up in the camerar that ask you to choose between PC (storage), PC (tether) or Pictbridge(PTP)? I am a bit desperat and invested a lot of money. Would love to get it running.
When I plug line in audio through the mic port on the GH6 and any power delivery, there is about 6db of noise I cannot get rid of...unplug the usb c and the noise goes away
Thanks for your guide on how to power GH6 by an external powerbank. Its a Powercore III Elite 26000ah and 87W. out on the USB-c port and it is clearly said that it delver 9volt and 3 amp. Its also said clearly that it have PD Power delivery in my powerbank (its not said on the USB port though. Its said IQ3. My problem is that I cant get it to supply power to the camera when operating. When I plugg in the USB C I get a menu up at the camera screen that tell me to choose one of three options. It asks if I want PC (storage), PC (tether) or Pictbridge(PTP) . I also never see the little symbol over the battery indikator that you say tells if camera is supplied by the power bank. It clearly say in the manual that the powerbank have PD. Please, what is missing?
No problem, glad you found it useful. I'm sure its not this but have you tried a different cable? Could be that it is a data cable and the is reading it as such.
@@stevelitton Thank so much for taking time to answer. The cable that I used is the one that came with the Anker powerbank. I assumed that would be right. I also bought a rather expensive cable (25€) that they say support powers up to 60w. None of the cables made any change. I still get the irrelevant question of three choices. The message from the gh6 that you refer to, that the camera get power from external device, never turns up. I am thinking that it might be easier to power the camera through a cable to a dummy battery in the battery port? I suspect that the usb c plug will start to wiggle after some time. I would love if Panasonic offered a designed batterygrip for Gh6. My problem now is that I can't charge the batterie while I am using it. This is the 4th powerbank I am testing.
That does seem odd, are you on the latest firmware? I use the Anker cable with mine and it seems to work fine. The power bank I am using is on Panasonic's approved list of power banks. You can use a dummy battery and power it with an external battery which is a bit neater but costs a little more. I use the dummy battery with the adapter for AC power when shooting in a controlled indoor environment.
I'm filming a wedding in June and got another power bank that produces 9V 3A (Anker ones werent available). I'm thinking about using the cable protector and having the power bank in in a shoulder bag with a 1.5m cable. Feels a bit risky if you catch the cable on stuff but it might be a bit heavy having a powerbank on a handle for am entire day 🤔🤷🏻♂️
I mean it should be ok if you have the cables secure and it can't be flexed or snapped. The power bank disconnecting is no big deal really so long as you can reconnect it. I'm sure you could do a bit of creative cable management 🙂
Just curious which third party battery your using on the GH6 because I just got the BM Batteries that are for the S5 and it works for a little then says I can’t use the battery even in 4K 60.
Hey, I have seen those on Amazon US but I don't think they sell them over here in the UK. It's not a battery I have tried but in theory any BLK22 battery should work in all shooting modes. I use the Newmova ones that come with the charger, you should see them here amzn.to/3xa2Idu I've had no issues so far.
@@stevelitton ok thank you! im over here thinking my god I only film weddings for a living at im going to have to spend 400 dollars for 6 batteries to get me by for the day lol. thanks again and I will order those now in the hopes they work for me too. your channel is a godsend
@@bryangeraldinofilms7596 No problem, hopefully they do the trick. I have heard good things about the Wasabi ones too. Thanks I appreciate it, glad you are finding the content useful 👍
Hard to say without seeing it but I would assume it's not powerful enough to offer a charge whilst the camera is running. Make sure it's capable of offering PD power at 9V 3A.
Yes, thats right. The wall charger will only work when the camera is switched off. If you want a constant power supply from the mains then you will need to look at the DDC17 battery with the AC10 power supply 👉 ruclips.net/video/wuXk-GsRgV4/видео.html
No worries. If you go to the menu and look under 'spanner' -> 'square with wifi symbol' and that should be the IN/OUT menu. Then find 'USB' and under 'USB Mode' make sure that is set to 'Select on connection' and 'USB Power Supply' is set to on. Worth checking those before heading out.
Yes, it's perfect for creating timelapses. It is quite a heavy power bank though, so if you are mounting it on to something like a gear driven slider you might want to give it a balance and strength test before leaving it to capture the timelapse.
Hi, yes that is a fair point. I omitted that from the video because it is 'on' by default in the factory settings. It is only really configurable to switch 'off' to attach 3rd party devices like printers.
The powerbank thing is absolute nonsense to be honest, because what happens when they add ssd recording? Panasonic got rid of the battery grip because people weren't buying their overpriced one, but plenty of us bought a 3rd party one. Nothing I'd hate more than a load of crap sticking out of my camera. Other than maybe the PowerCore 5000 there's no practical way to mount them without upsetting the balance which for me is a massive deal!
I have a dummy battery that goes out to my powerbank via USB C. So for me it's still available when SSD becomes available and offers better battery life than the stock battery. I think it is probably more just to do with the fact its not aimed at photographers but I still liked to have the option on the GH5. You are 100% right about the price though I have a 3rd party grip 🙂 I guess we will see for certain when the new G line camera comes out. Isn't the 5000 just a phone charger that wouldn't supply enough power to charge the camera though? Once SSD recording comes to the camera you will end up with additional cables and drives mounted around the camera anyway if you want to use it, I will just mount the SSD under my power bank. I mostly just use the power bank when I can't plug in the AC10 and it is set up on a tripod and I don't think I wouldn't be shooting an event locked off in ProRes ever.
@@stevelitton The 5000 is one of their recommended battery packs, but I’ve gone with a couple of 512GB angle birds for storage to hopefully avoid needing an ssd, but I’d love a proper low profile power solution because this camera needs it.
@@candyartstv Oh yeah, so it is. I didn't think that would have the power capabilities at a glance, I use mine to charge my Macbook too but that looks like a neat option. Yeah, although it was a bit low-tech, I really liked the Power Junkie, I asked them if they would do a dummy battery and it sounds like they have something else in the works for late summer. I will make do for the time being, anything I use has to either be lightweight or have multiple uses.

@@assarhopaneng7339 That does look like it will work looking at the specs
@@stevelitton Thank you!
You did not say.necessarily in the menu Settings/ USB/ USB power supply ON !!!!!!
Hi, yes that is a fair point. I omitted that from the video because it is 'on' by default in the factory settings. It is only really configurable to switch 'off' to attach 3rd party devices like printers.
The powerbank thing is absolute nonsense to be honest, because what happens when they add ssd recording? Panasonic got rid of the battery grip because people weren't buying their overpriced one, but plenty of us bought a 3rd party one. Nothing I'd hate more than a load of crap sticking out of my camera. Other than maybe the PowerCore 5000 there's no practical way to mount them without upsetting the balance which for me is a massive deal!
I have a dummy battery that goes out to my powerbank via USB C. So for me it's still available when SSD becomes available and offers better battery life than the stock battery. I think it is probably more just to do with the fact its not aimed at photographers but I still liked to have the option on the GH5. You are 100% right about the price though I have a 3rd party grip 🙂 I guess we will see for certain when the new G line camera comes out. Isn't the 5000 just a phone charger that wouldn't supply enough power to charge the camera though? Once SSD recording comes to the camera you will end up with additional cables and drives mounted around the camera anyway if you want to use it, I will just mount the SSD under my power bank. I mostly just use the power bank when I can't plug in the AC10 and it is set up on a tripod and I don't think I wouldn't be shooting an event locked off in ProRes ever.
@@stevelitton The 5000 is one of their recommended battery packs, but I’ve gone with a couple of 512GB angle birds for storage to hopefully avoid needing an ssd, but I’d love a proper low profile power solution because this camera needs it.
@@candyartstv Oh yeah, so it is. I didn't think that would have the power capabilities at a glance, I use mine to charge my Macbook too but that looks like a neat option. Yeah, although it was a bit low-tech, I really liked the Power Junkie, I asked them if they would do a dummy battery and it sounds like they have something else in the works for late summer. I will make do for the time being, anything I use has to either be lightweight or have multiple uses.
I am sorry to say that I agree!
2023 and none of the powerbanks are sold.
I'm not following, what do you mean?
