Honestly these are hands down the BEST videos about using the Canon m50 for streaming, recording, etc that I've found. I feel like I've spent hundreds of hours watching and searching for this info. Thank you so much for these amazing tutorials. They are helping me so much.
Wow!!! This video was awesome!!! I'm so tired of losing my video because of a failed battery and it defaulting to a DAT file. Google search brought me to you. Thanks for making this!!! I'm going to find one of these!!! Great Work!!!
Just wanted to say thank you. It's crazy difficult to find any reviews on "dummy batteries", particularly ones for M class Canon cameras. This was a lifesaver because the "Raeisusp" appears to be the only one you can find in the UK, and this review gives me some assurance it's a good brand to go with.
Simon Neil Scott My pleasure Simon!! ☺️ I had the same issues finding one online. Plenty listed on Amazon but who knows how good they are. Thankfully there is one available for you to buy, I hope it works well for you!
@@Thebogeybro it appears to have served we well so far. I don't leave it turned on for long periods mind. Unfortunately it's literally the only you can get in the UK. No other choices.
That was *exactly* what I was looking for. I appreciate that your video is concise; you don't spend a bunch of time being "cute" or putting on a show, just letting your natural charisma speak for itself and answering the actual question. Great work.
I noticed the Kapaxen is still unavailable on Amazon..do you have an alternative recommendation and do you know how long the canon battery lasts for live streaming..I've live streamed for 1.5 hours without running out?
Hey there, I there are additional links in the description above for the other options I recommend for power options that will work for ya! Check those out!
just picked up 2 of those items from your AMZ links thanks. Renting CAM equipment so this helped tremendously. Thanks for the time you put in to make the vids excellent!!
Thank you for the clarity! I got the M50 for my wife in October and she’s been complaining about the battery’s short life. This will be a nice Christmas Gift addition.
Thank you so much , i have the kit but the battery only works when the bottom is closed... Thanks to your video, im now aware that the side button on the bottom peels open and you are the first to display that the port for the battery is shown ... Thank you so much!!!!!!!!
You dropped a lot of great little gems. I don’t have an M50. But I am going to try the things that you mentioned to help get rid of hums/buzzing and background noises - keeping the cables off the floor, etc. Thanks.
Oh okay, I thought you did have an M50 Wambui! What kind of camera do you use? As far as the camera buzzing bit..man oh man did I learn that the hard way a few years ago lol 4 Videos I recorded and was super proud of. Sat down to edit them and buzzing all through the videos smh so gut wrenching lol
This was the most straight forward video i've seen to date. Thanks so much for the info and help, I was wondering what to do to extend the battery life.
Your videos are awesome! You’re concise, to the point, and your personality is great. Thank you for the tips I’ve had my m50 for a while and didn’t realize it could be used for live-streams!
My pleasure!! I so appreciate that! 💯 Yeah, when I got my M50 I put it to work and live streaming with it became super fun! I’m curious what kind of content are you converting streaming about?
Diana Gladney - EntreWoman TV I’m a musician so I’m hoping to bring the live shows I’ve been playing in bars and restaurants for years to the internet! Your content will definitely help me out with that
I'm finally feeling brave enough to do a live Q&A on my channel but was looking for a way to use my M50 instead of my Logitech 920 webcam. Appreciate the info...new sub here! :)
Way to work up that courage! Just remember, if you get nervous or anything it’s okay lol Just be you and you’ll be good! Welcome to the community by the way! 😊
So glad you took the time to make this video. Very helpful. I already had the third-party battery adapter, but what I did not know was how to close the battery door. I had the battery in it but did NOT know about the little hole in the door. Although you did not mention it, I "saw" there was a hole I did not know about. SO THANK YOU. Also, you mentioned going "directly" into the camera for audio but you did not say "how" you did that. Was it XLR to 3.5mm? Thanks again.
The camera only has a 3.5mm headphone port but it doesn't allow for the camera to access that while live streaming on the Mark 1, you'd have to get the M50 Mark 2 and then you can use the microphone port on the camera while live streaming.
Diana thanks a lot for this helpful video. I was looking into different options to power my Canon m50 for a long time. I like your style, your voice (reminds me of my sis in North Carolina :) ), and how you structure your videos. Keep it up!!
Your videos are SO good. Succinct, straight up, friendly and approachable but not TOO much personality, if you know what I mean. :-) I have subscribed.
Hey so I’m trying to get a power adapter to work with this camera but it doesn’t have the round rubber removable peace on the bottom that the mark ii has, so I can’t plug the power adapter in. And it won’t turn on if the battery door is open. Any advice?
The piece that is the black rubber bit with the ridges (that you use to get some grip and pull the camera door open? That part.) spins around on the M50 Mark 1. You close the battery door fully on the camera, then you pull up gently and spin around that rubber bit to plug in the ac adapter.
SUBBED. Diana, thank you for this video. I found so many useful data I can't even. I've been looking at the M50. didn't even know there was a mark 2. you saved me much buyer's remorse on that tip alone. thank you. I will be checking your other vids.
Hi thanks for this video. I recently got an m50 and was researching some options for continuous power. I saw someone comment on another video where this brand messed up the camera. Does it still work for you? Thanks
I can definitely understand your concern. I’ve had the Glorich brand on Amazon fry my M50 before smh The Raeissup brand has worked well not only for the M50s I used to own but also for the Sony cameras I currently use as well. Neither of the cables I’ve used for the M50 ever gave me any trouble and I still have them.
Thank you. Very helpful. However, my Canon EOS m50's port for the cable going to the wall is no longer working. I just bought a new one. same issue. So i'm pretty sure it's the port/terminal. So frustrating. I no longer think it's a cable issue. Any suggestions?
That's a bummer. No, I'd suggest reaching out to Canon's support and see what they suggest. Their customer service is quick and better to send your camera in early if it needs repairs or not. Plus, Canon has since released their own creator bundle cable setup since I originally came out with this video. So, if you're going to buy one, get theirs vs any third party cables.
Hello. I am a new You-tuber and I purchased the camera Canon EOS M50 Mark II and I needed a power adapter for this camera and didn't want to pay over $50 for it. This video was very informative. I also purchased a Comica CVM-V30 Lite video microphone that connect directly to my camera and its on its way to be delivered. I hope I got good equipment. thank you for this video
It always pays to get the manufacturers branded adapter when possible. $50 is cheaper than a $300 repair bill. It happens more often than you might think. I’m not sure how the microphone you purchased will work but hopefully it works out for ya!
Thank you for this! I've been looking for a power solution since the official Canon adapter is impossible to get. Hoping that Raeisusp works out for me. it was available yesterday (2/18/21) on Amazon. On another note, I 'm SO glad to see the excellent framing you do. It's an oft-ignored art on RUclips. And your calm, no-hype delivery, thanks for that, too. That's a refreshing vibe. Count me in as a new subscriber.
Yeah, I think Canon may have discontinued it or something because it was almost never available even before 2020 lol So, the Raeissup has been coming in super handy! I hate the Kapaxen brand disappeared as well. Those worked really well! Glad me being myself translates well to camera lol I actually get complimented on that quite a bit these days lol Welcome to the Community as well!
My pleasure Chris! I'm glad the video has been helpful for you! It definitely will work with the Mark 2, they're the exact same camera body and battery.
YES!!! I actually bought this the week after I got the M50. That daggon battery that comes with the M50 I swear last like 30-45 minutes LOL But that battery bank with power plug is nice. My ONLY complaint is it makes putting your cam on a tripod interesting. I leave mine on the tripod mostly indefinitely for convenience. I just hated having to take the cam off the tripod every 1-3 days just to charge the battery. You'd think Canon would think about these things when they manufacture this stuff LOL
You would think, but they don't lol Maybe now they will with later models but I won't hold my breath lol So, the ONLY workaround I've found as far as the battery door issue is two things. The first one is if you're using an Arca Swiss plate system, you can get one of their smallest plates that will allow you access to the door even on the tripod. OR if you're using any other kind of plate system, I've seen people mark off how much space they need to fully clear the door but maintain the integrity of the overall plate and saw off the bit blocking the door lol. I decided to not get the arca swiss plates because I prefer to snap in my quick release plates but those are the only two options I've found.
It does actually, but the instructions for that are on the pamphlet they provide with the AC adapter. Since all battery banks are different what I've found to work best across all the different kinds I have is use the port that has the higher amp output of 2.4A or so. Anything less than that and it tends not to be enough to power the camera. I've found this to be true on my Sony cameras as well when running them off a battery bank for long recordings.
Couldn't have asked for a better video on power adapters as currently looking for my M50 but it's such a minefield out there! Was very close to buying either a Gonine or Glorich branded one on with neither having a USB powerbank option, so I'll go for the Raeisusp now. 😉 You literally covered every area of this that I've been looking into, such as the potential humming noise issues on the audio that I was worrying about. Brilliant, thank you! 👌 Please can you post the link to your video you mention on how to link up a USB mic to my M50 as I currently use an external Rode mic and looking to upgrade?
Oh yeah for sure! I had one for my G85 and have 2 for my a6400 as well. I actually caught a steal on the sony branded adapter on amazon they were marked used since they were out of the original boxes but they were never used and still in the plastic for half the price lol I really wonder if Sony will still drop an A74 amidst all this that's going on since they're consolidating the camera devision into a new company structure and what all feature that will have. I'm just glad the a6400 has it natively built in to run off a power bank. That should be standard in every camera! And side note, why do you have 3 different camera brands? lol Inquiring minds want to know lol
hi, you dont have to worry about the mha that will only make it longer or less depending on how many mha you have. The most important is the output of 5V 3A, it does not work with less then 3A. I have saveral powerbanks with 2A and 2.5A and it does not power the M50. regards
Great video. This came right on time. I bought a dummy battery system from Wal-mart and tried it today for a shoot. It failed on me within 10 minutes and I had to go back to the meager battery--that I had to change mid shoot. So I'm going to try one of the ones that you suggest with a battery pack to see if I can get that going.
Diana Gladney - EntreWoman TV the official canon adapters are also nonexistent. I appreciate you taking a chance with these third party options. Helps give me peace of mind.
Lol yeah it’s tough choosing random brands but it’s all we have lol. The Canon one has been spotty even long before everything popped off so it’s hit or miss with them being in stock too.
@@DianaGladney I was able to order it directly from Kapaxen just now. We'll see. I've also been reading that Canon has discontinued the official adapter. That doesn't make much since because it is one of their newish models and very popular, but that's what I've been reading. I'll try to remember to come back and let you know if it actually ships. I did get an order confirmation.
This video was my first, best, and only stop to put an end to my being the M50's battery task rabbit. I shoot time lapse and 900 frames (know any way around the frame count limit?) will bring a battery to its knees. I change batteries and shoot again. I'll pay to have a wall wart do that job. I've heard "10 minute videos are a thing, but I I always prefer concise explanation and you did M50 Battery 101 in under 7 minuutes. Do you have a Patreon account?
I'm glad this was helpful for you! Hmm...as far as the frame counters, it's not anything I've ever experienced because I don't do extensive time-lapses'. When I used the M50, I never did longer than maybe 15 minutes or so. I don't have a Patreon account, I use Buy Me a Coffee though BuyMeaCoffee.com/Diana
Not sure if you’ll see this, but I see a lot of people saying the dummy batteries shocked their cameras. I’d be fine just using the power cord with my real canon battery, right? I don’t plan to even put the dummy battery in. I’m considering the one sold by Raeisusp
I had that happen with a trashy one by one brand but that’s why I can only recommend these two that I’ve used for over a year with heavy use and no issues. Not all these companies care about selling stuff that won’t fry your camera but I’ve had 0 issues with these though.
@@DianaGladney yes, I purchased it last month. I write for Saints News Network on Sports Illustrated. We stream our Interviews and podcasts. My son had a M50 for one year and loved it. I saw your videos and decided to purchase. Thank you for your clear and easy to understand vids.
Kyle Mosley That’s super dope Kyle! What a cool job! I’m glad the videos have been helpful for you! A power adapter will definitely be helpful for streaming your interviews.
Great advice, thanks! But why are there so many reviews about the dummy battery frying people's camera? I still bought it, but want to know if it's a user error, or if there is something wrong with this battery? I got the exact one you recommended. How has it been working for you all?
That’s because there’s no real brand to be held accountable for these third party adapters from places like alibaba that can be ordered in bulk and call it any name and sell it on Amazon. I had one by Glorich on Amazon do just that, mess up the internal and it wouldn’t do anything about it. Even Amazon had no recourse. There’s really no quality control or standard practices to ensure the powering methods are safer or correct with most of some of those brands on Amazon. I’ve had great results with the two I’ve listed in this video. I’ve had them both for a long time now and no issues. It’s never a guarantee all of their models will work but it’s the only two I have tried for a long time that actually worked.
@@DianaGladney thanks, that’s makes me feel better! Bought the one you recommended so good to know it’s been working for you for a while. Love your content and great job!!
Diana thanks for reviewing this! I have not seen any other reviews on anything like this although I am certain there may be other yours was a very professional perspective. I am working on investing on my Canon M50 for my channel. What software do you use to edit your videos?
Thank you so much! 😊 I'm glad the video was helpful for ya! I use Final Cut Pro X for editing my videos. I originally bought a Mac just for final cut pro and ecamm live and ended up completely switching to mac lol
Diana Gladney - EntreWoman TV same here although I am still new to editing. I am using iMovie but plan to use my Final Cut Pro X which I’ve had a license for some time now.
I feel ya! It's hard leaving what you know! I took the easiest and shortest video I could to edit fully in final cut first and then every new video try to add one or two more things. That way every time I tried to edit it wasn't 12 tutorials I had to watch just to get through it lol It's by far the easiest software to use in my opinion.
This video actually wasn’t filmed using an M50, it’s the Sony a6600. However, what I’d recommend is settings wise is you can record 30 frames per second, set the shutter speed to 1/60 and depending on the lens you use set the aperture/f-stop to the lowest you can and your ISO to what is best in your environment depending on your lights.
I JUST bought a Wasabi Power version of this kind of cord and dummy battery. I've used their 3rd party batteries before and my camera was fine but now I'm wondering if I should've got the one she recommended...
So update, it works fine, but you just have to be careful with touching the wire that connects to the dummy battery. I've had it turn off several times when I've accidentally handled it "too rough" I suppose, but it works well otherwise! If you push in on the bottom of the camera where the wire connects to the dummy battery it's like a "restart button", it'll turn the camera back on if you accidentally hit it. I think it cost about $30, so not too bad for that!
Hi there! Great video. I bought the Raeisusp connection but am super unsure how to get power going on the camera. Do you have any links on Amazon UK to know which battery pack to buy? Thanks in advance!
I love my M50! I just got it working as a webcam in linux with gphoto and v4l2loopback so just need a way to power it indefinitely which this is super helpful for! I just wish canon would have made it so it could be powered via usb as well like you'd pretty much expect anything modern to do
100% agree with ya there, it's just a modern expectation that should already be there but unfortunately it's not smh Glad the video was helpful for ya though and you enjoyed the content!
Glad the video was helpful for you! Yeah, unfortunately the Kapaxen adapter has been unavailable for a long time now. Not sure it may come back in stock.
I haven’t tried Wasabi but they’re usually highly recommended so it works. The BMs I eventually tossed due to swelling over time. I did a dedicated video on batteries for the M50 if you want more details on the ones I’ve tried.
Thanks so much Joseph! I have had so many times early on getting that buzzing mic noise and it's super annoying lol From the sounds of it, looks like you've had your share of that experience as well I'm guessing?
Good stuff,question I have a m50 and I have a photobooth and I want to be able to charge this the whole time while in use,what would u suggest? Thank for the advice and great vid
AC Power adapter if you're near an outlet and won't run the risk of the cable being the way or unplugged. If you think it will, go with the battery bank option but make sure you get something with a large enough capacity to run you through the day.
@@DianaGladney thank you for your reply, so i know im being dumb here, but im going to buy one on amazon, what should i search AC power adapter for Cannon M50
@@DianaGladney That was my question too. I actually wanted to use the M50 for live-streaming on Twitch. So, yes, plugging it directly into the wall is my ideal set up. Does the Canon kit have that option? I did check Canon's website and the Canon AC Adapter CA-PS700 is backordered indefinitely.
Yep! The Sony a6400 does have an AC power adapter. You can use the Sony branded adapter, that's what I use: amzn.to/3Enevp7 - There's also a 3rd party option by Gonine: amzn.to/3pLPWhE

I just hated having to take the cam off the tripod every 1-3 days just to charge the battery. You'd think Canon would think about these things when they manufacture this stuff LOL
You would think, but they don't lol Maybe now they will with later models but I won't hold my breath lol
So, the ONLY workaround I've found as far as the battery door issue is two things. The first one is if you're using an Arca Swiss plate system, you can get one of their smallest plates that will allow you access to the door even on the tripod.
OR if you're using any other kind of plate system, I've seen people mark off how much space they need to fully clear the door but maintain the integrity of the overall plate and saw off the bit blocking the door lol. I decided to not get the arca swiss plates because I prefer to snap in my quick release plates but those are the only two options I've found.
very dope.. thanks for the info...
My pleasure!! 😊
Damn! I wish I was as good as you making videos... Wow! Great content!!
Thank you so much! 😊 I appreciate that!
I am loving you already. Thank you so much for all the knowledge you shared.
My pleasure Vernie!! 😊 I’m so glad it helped!
thank you so much! This was definitely a life saver!
You’re very welcome! 💯
Love the video, thank you! FYI you raeisusp link doesn't go to the raeisusp.
Glad the video was helpful for you!
I just checked out the link, it still goes to the right spot. You might want to try it again.
Stellar. Exactly what I was looking for to rig up my gimbal.
Awesome!
Incredibly helpful video! Thanks a lot!
You’re very welcome! 😊
thank you very much i have a canon m50 power bank how many amps should be does it matter?
It does actually, but the instructions for that are on the pamphlet they provide with the AC adapter.
Since all battery banks are different what I've found to work best across all the different kinds I have is use the port that has the higher amp output of 2.4A or so. Anything less than that and it tends not to be enough to power the camera. I've found this to be true on my Sony cameras as well when running them off a battery bank for long recordings.
Couldn't have asked for a better video on power adapters as currently looking for my M50 but it's such a minefield out there! Was very close to buying either a Gonine or Glorich branded one on with neither having a USB powerbank option, so I'll go for the Raeisusp now. 😉 You literally covered every area of this that I've been looking into, such as the potential humming noise issues on the audio that I was worrying about. Brilliant, thank you! 👌 Please can you post the link to your video you mention on how to link up a USB mic to my M50 as I currently use an external Rode mic and looking to upgrade?
Great content as usual. I know this is for the M50 but I use the same setup for my G85 & Sony A6500.
Oh yeah for sure! I had one for my G85 and have 2 for my a6400 as well. I actually caught a steal on the sony branded adapter on amazon they were marked used since they were out of the original boxes but they were never used and still in the plastic for half the price lol
I really wonder if Sony will still drop an A74 amidst all this that's going on since they're consolidating the camera devision into a new company structure and what all feature that will have. I'm just glad the a6400 has it natively built in to run off a power bank. That should be standard in every camera!
And side note, why do you have 3 different camera brands? lol Inquiring minds want to know lol
hi, you dont have to worry about the mha that will only make it longer or less depending on how many mha you have. The most important is the output of 5V 3A, it does not work with less then 3A. I have saveral powerbanks with 2A and 2.5A and it does not power the M50. regards
Hmm interesting, good to know!
That was a really well spoken, video. Good stuff
Thank you! 🙂
Great information and well thought out...
My pleasure!! 😊
Great video. This came right on time. I bought a dummy battery system from Wal-mart and tried it today for a shoot. It failed on me within 10 minutes and I had to go back to the meager battery--that I had to change mid shoot. So I'm going to try one of the ones that you suggest with a battery pack to see if I can get that going.
Yeah it’s a lot of different brands out there. These are then only two I’ve tried and can recommend.
Really good video and very helpful, thank you. Great content. :)
Thank you, I'm glad it was helpful!
Were you able to pick one of the power options up or were they still out of stock?
Thanks Diana - very clear and super helpful
My pleasure!! 😊
Thanks, i found what i needed now.
You're very welcome!
New subscriber! You're so amazing at what you do!
Thank you so much! 😊 Welcome to the Community! 💯🎉
I bought a dummy battery and it works amazing for my Zoom classes. Thanks for the tip how to connect through the hole in the battery cover.
+Albert Fransz That’s awesome, glad it’s working for you!
The kapaxen one is sold out so I’ll go with your other recommendation. Thank you so much and have a great day 🙌
Yeah I don’t think the Kapaxen one is coming back in stock anymore, unfortunately. It’s a shame, it’s a great cable!
Diana Gladney - EntreWoman TV the official canon adapters are also nonexistent. I appreciate you taking a chance with these third party options. Helps give me peace of mind.
Lol yeah it’s tough choosing random brands but it’s all we have lol. The Canon one has been spotty even long before everything popped off so it’s hit or miss with them being in stock too.
@@DianaGladney I was able to order it directly from Kapaxen just now. We'll see. I've also been reading that Canon has discontinued the official adapter. That doesn't make much since because it is one of their newish models and very popular, but that's what I've been reading. I'll try to remember to come back and let you know if it actually ships. I did get an order confirmation.
This video was my first, best, and only stop to put an end to my being the M50's battery task rabbit. I shoot time lapse and 900 frames (know any way around the frame count limit?) will bring a battery to its knees. I change batteries and shoot again. I'll pay to have a wall wart do that job. I've heard "10 minute videos are a thing, but I I always prefer concise explanation and you did M50 Battery 101 in under 7 minuutes. Do you have a Patreon account?
I'm glad this was helpful for you!
Hmm...as far as the frame counters, it's not anything I've ever experienced because I don't do extensive time-lapses'. When I used the M50, I never did longer than maybe 15 minutes or so. I don't have a Patreon account, I use Buy Me a Coffee though BuyMeaCoffee.com/Diana
Not sure if you’ll see this, but I see a lot of people saying the dummy batteries shocked their cameras. I’d be fine just using the power cord with my real canon battery, right? I don’t plan to even put the dummy battery in. I’m considering the one sold by Raeisusp
I had that happen with a trashy one by one brand but that’s why I can only recommend these two that I’ve used for over a year with heavy use and no issues. Not all these companies care about selling stuff that won’t fry your camera but I’ve had 0 issues with these though.
Diana Gladney - EntreWoman TV thanks! Was it the cord or the dummy battery that shocked your camera is what I’m trying to find out.
The cord. The adapter part from this brand called Glorich made a whining type noise and it was gone. The dummy adapter was never a problem.
Diana Gladney - EntreWoman TV okay, thanks for your help!
Sure thing!
Great info! I've been wondering how to get unlimited battery power for my M50. This was helpful.
My pleasure!! ☺️
You are great. Thank you for all of the tips on the M50.
Thanks so much Kyle! Glad to be of assistance!
Do you have an M50 by chance?
@@DianaGladney yes, I purchased it last month. I write for Saints News Network on Sports Illustrated. We stream our Interviews and podcasts. My son had a M50 for one year and loved it. I saw your videos and decided to purchase. Thank you for your clear and easy to understand vids.
Kyle Mosley That’s super dope Kyle! What a cool job! I’m glad the videos have been helpful for you! A power adapter will definitely be helpful for streaming your interviews.
Very helpful! Thank you so much!
My pleasure Meg!! 😊
Thank you!!! You are so helpful.
My pleasure Terry!! 😊
Very helpful information.And great voice..
Thanks! 😊
Great Video! Thank you so much for sharing!!
You're very welcome!
THANK YOOU soo much for this review!! Wow I’m definitely getting this 😊💕💕
My pleasure!! 😊
@@DianaGladney 😇
Extremely helpful THANK YOU
My pleasure!! 😊
Love your videos thank you very helpful
My pleasure!! 😊
Great advice, thanks! But why are there so many reviews about the dummy battery frying people's camera? I still bought it, but want to know if it's a user error, or if there is something wrong with this battery? I got the exact one you recommended. How has it been working for you all?
That’s because there’s no real brand to be held accountable for these third party adapters from places like alibaba that can be ordered in bulk and call it any name and sell it on Amazon. I had one by Glorich on Amazon do just that, mess up the internal and it wouldn’t do anything about it. Even Amazon had no recourse. There’s really no quality control or standard practices to ensure the powering methods are safer or correct with most of some of those brands on Amazon.
I’ve had great results with the two I’ve listed in this video. I’ve had them both for a long time now and no issues. It’s never a guarantee all of their models will work but it’s the only two I have tried for a long time that actually worked.
@@DianaGladney thanks, that’s makes me feel better! Bought the one you recommended so good to know it’s been working for you for a while. Love your content and great job!!
My pleasure!! 😊
I hope they work out for you as well.
Diana thanks for reviewing this! I have not seen any other reviews on anything like this although I am certain there may be other yours was a very professional perspective. I am working on investing on my Canon M50 for my channel. What software do you use to edit your videos?
Thank you so much! 😊 I'm glad the video was helpful for ya!
I use Final Cut Pro X for editing my videos. I originally bought a Mac just for final cut pro and ecamm live and ended up completely switching to mac lol
Diana Gladney - EntreWoman TV same here although I am still new to editing. I am using iMovie but plan to use my Final Cut Pro X which I’ve had a license for some time now.
I feel ya! It's hard leaving what you know! I took the easiest and shortest video I could to edit fully in final cut first and then every new video try to add one or two more things. That way every time I tried to edit it wasn't 12 tutorials I had to watch just to get through it lol It's by far the easiest software to use in my opinion.
Diana Gladney - EntreWoman TV will begin incorporating your suggestions 👍 I have another question but not related to this topic.
Kid Fragrance Sure, what’s your question?
Omg! I love you so much! You always have the answers! Thank you.
Lol Glad to be of service!
Thanks for the video. I just got this camera for streaming. what settings do you recommend so that the picture looks clear like your video?
This video actually wasn’t filmed using an M50, it’s the Sony a6600. However, what I’d recommend is settings wise is you can record 30 frames per second, set the shutter speed to 1/60 and depending on the lens you use set the aperture/f-stop to the lowest you can and your ISO to what is best in your environment depending on your lights.
I JUST bought a Wasabi Power version of this kind of cord and dummy battery. I've used their 3rd party batteries before and my camera was fine but now I'm wondering if I should've got the one she recommended...
If what you have is working for you, keep using it. 😊
@@DianaGladney We'll find out when it gets delivered lol
So update, it works fine, but you just have to be careful with touching the wire that connects to the dummy battery. I've had it turn off several times when I've accidentally handled it "too rough" I suppose, but it works well otherwise! If you push in on the bottom of the camera where the wire connects to the dummy battery it's like a "restart button", it'll turn the camera back on if you accidentally hit it. I think it cost about $30, so not too bad for that!
Hi there! Great video. I bought the Raeisusp connection but am super unsure how to get power going on the camera. Do you have any links on Amazon UK to know which battery pack to buy? Thanks in advance!
Glad the video was helpful!
So, I don’t have at the moment but I’ll need to check tomorrow and see what’s available.
@@DianaGladney Thanks so very much!!
This was incredibly helpful, thank you so much.
You’re welcome! 💯
Thanks for the good information!.
My pleasure!! 😊
Thank you for all the info! Really helped me solidify my purchases that I needed to make for myself! :)
My pleasure!! 😊 Glad this was helpful for you!
I love my M50! I just got it working as a webcam in linux with gphoto and v4l2loopback so just need a way to power it indefinitely which this is super helpful for! I just wish canon would have made it so it could be powered via usb as well like you'd pretty much expect anything modern to do
100% agree with ya there, it's just a modern expectation that should already be there but unfortunately it's not smh
Glad the video was helpful for ya though and you enjoyed the content!
Great review. The top link is not available. I want you to get your commissions.
Glad the video was helpful for you!
Yeah, unfortunately the Kapaxen adapter has been unavailable for a long time now. Not sure it may come back in stock.
Great, well made video! Hats off to you :)
Thank you so much! Glad you received value from the video!
Thanks for the info, I’m look for usb battery option for my m50 that can take wall power also.
My pleasure!! ☺️ Then that second option I mention by Raessieup will be the one to get to do both.
Rock it! Great content. Smooth.
Thank you! I appreciate taht Michael!
Another great info video, thanks. 😎
Always my pleasure Don! Good to see ya and hope you're doing well!
Glad I found you ✌🏿 alot of good info ✌🏿
Thank you! Glad it’s been helpful! 😊
If I want to buy 3 party battery wasabi or BM which one is better. Please advise
I haven’t tried Wasabi but they’re usually highly recommended so it works. The BMs I eventually tossed due to swelling over time.
I did a dedicated video on batteries for the M50 if you want more details on the ones I’ve tried.
Hey! Great tips, especially the mic noise....
Thanks so much Joseph! I have had so many times early on getting that buzzing mic noise and it's super annoying lol
From the sounds of it, looks like you've had your share of that experience as well I'm guessing?
great video! is it safe to plug to the wall and do you get any hum noise if you plug an external mic while using the Raeisusp?
Angel Freak I never have gotten a hum noise with it. I mostly use it with battery banks though but in a wall adapter it was fine.
@@DianaGladney great thank you. loving your channel!
Thanks Angel! Glad you’re here! 😊
Thank you. Very helpful.
My pleasure!! ☺️ Glad it was helpful for you!
Any other tips to remove the buzz/ hum from using power adapters?
Nope, that’s pretty much it. You never want to cross power cables and audio cables. Audio can be weird like that so just keep them separate.
Diana Gladney - EntreWoman TV Thanks so much for the info! 🙏
Good stuff,question I have a m50 and I have a photobooth and I want to be able to charge this the whole time while in use,what would u suggest? Thank for the advice and great vid
AC Power adapter if you're near an outlet and won't run the risk of the cable being the way or unplugged. If you think it will, go with the battery bank option but make sure you get something with a large enough capacity to run you through the day.
@@DianaGladney thank you for your reply, so i know im being dumb here, but im going to buy one on amazon, what should i search AC power adapter for Cannon M50
Lol everything’s linked in the video description already.
can the raeisup one be used with a wall plug?
Yep, you can even buy it with the AC adapter to come with it.
@@DianaGladney That was my question too. I actually wanted to use the M50 for live-streaming on Twitch. So, yes, plugging it directly into the wall is my ideal set up. Does the Canon kit have that option? I did check Canon's website and the Canon AC Adapter CA-PS700 is backordered indefinitely.
Just ordered from your Amazon affiliate link! Thanks for the help!
My pleasure Christian!! 😊
Great video !!
Thank you so much! 😊
Thank you, really fixed my issue
My pleasure!! ☺️ Glad to have helped!
Great Video! Thank you
My pleasure!! ☺️ I’m glad this video was helpful for you!
Great Video I must Confess. Good. I have an EOS M50 Mark ii and Canon 250D. WHat will you recommed.
Thanks! The batteries are the same in the Mark 1 and Mark 2 for the Canon M50 so the power recommendation will remain the same as shared in the video.
@@DianaGladneyGladney And for the 250D Camera. Will Raeisusp still the best Option
@@unclesamo I’m not sure for the 250D or what battery that camera takes.
@@DianaGladneyGladney Thanks Alot for the time.
@@unclesamo Sure thing!
Can u tell me
i need one like this for sony a6400 need good one plz ?
Yep! The Sony a6400 does have an AC power adapter. You can use the Sony branded adapter, that's what I use: amzn.to/3Enevp7 - There's also a 3rd party option by Gonine: amzn.to/3pLPWhE
