DMW-DCC8 DC Coupler (Fully Decoded) USB Power Adapter DMW-AC8 AC Adapter Camera Charger Kit for DMW-BLC12, Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ200, DMC-FZ1000, DMC-G5, DMC-G6, DMC-G7, DMC-GX8 Cameras

I am using this with the Panasonic FZ1000 (Gen 1) and it works as advertised. There is a small channel on the right side of the camera that’s covered with a rubber insert. Take out the insert for cable management coming out of the battery compartment. Yes, the cord is long. I think they designed it that way for versatility. Just do some simple cable management and you will be good to go. The battery life on the FZ1000 is not the greatest- especially in cold weather. This device is awesome for pretty much all the power you will need. You can plug in two power bricks and be set. What’s especially nice for cold weather videographers, is the cord is long enough so that you can put the power bricks in your jacket to keep them warm, place them in an insulated pouch with hand warmers, ect. Creativity knows no bounds. This is going to make life so much easier when I film hunts with the camera. I use an Arca Swiss plate. And the FZ1000 wasn’t thought through very much with the tripod screw hole being so close to the battery compartment flap. You need to remove the plate to change the battery. And, as mentioned before, the battery life isn’t the greatest. So, took care of all that.

The adapter fits exactly into the battery compartment and powers my FZ300 camera reliably using an old Coolook PB-2000 power bank. I need to use only one USB connection since the Coolook can deliver 2.4A from a single USB output port. I've run the camera to record about 90 min total of video (in about 15-20 min segments) in a single session, and the power bank lights still shows plenty of capacity remaining. I've not noticed any issues with DC-DC converter noise, heat, or instability. Seems like a solid product so far.

Had my first paid gig recording an event. Couldn't guarantee AC power on the premises, and plenty of what needed to be shot would be handheld. With this paired with a 20000mah battery, I was able to get hours of footage without even dipping the battery below 75%. This was while it was also simultaneously powering an audio recorder. A fantastic adapter for anyone who needs to keep this thing powered for extended periods of time without wall power.

This DC coupler works beautifully on my Lumix FZ300; I can just plug it into two lithium power banks or two separate 2 amp chargers and run the camera for 8-10 hours (or more on wall power). I like how the part that replaces the battery in the camera is detachable from the part that connects to the USB ports; makes for quick takedown and storage.

This works great with the Panasonic GX8 It powers the camera, and there appears to be no problems with compatibility. Combined with a massive battery from Anker, and I can run the camera for hours without worrying about power. I do wish they had integrated the DC/DC adapter into the battery housing, and made the second USB port an optional connection. The actual cord going into the battery housing could also use some strain relief.

The power bank's output is 5v 3A. The cable converts 5v to 7.2v which the camera needs. What a saving tech!

Got an expensive lesson in RTFM. As the sheet of paper that came with this clearly states, do not send more than 5V through it or you will fry your device. Now my camera is a brick.

I own a Panasonic G7 and this works great with it. I have an Anker 10,000mAh power brick and it powers the camera for hours. I've used it on video shoots and star trail time-lapses and works well for both. On the G7, if the batter dies while shooting video that file will be corrupted, so to have a massive power supply is one less thing to worry about.

Powers my Lumix G7 without a flaw. Love the instructions sheet it comes with. Much appreciated. Solved my long time problem of batteries running out. Amazing product!

The product is good and the delivery on time.

This USB power adapter saved me a lot of money from buying spare batteries for my Lumix G7. With a 10,000 mAh battery bank, you can shoot live functions that last for hours so long as your memory card permits. Great little device. Unfortunately, I misplaced mine and if I can't find it, I'll have to order another one. Saved me a lot of time doing away the trouble and hassle of needing to change batteries while in the middle of a shoot. Highly recommended.

I bought this for my Lumix G85 and it works well. I purchased 2 power banks previously and they both work well with this. Knowing that I don't have to worry about power or recording time wherever I go makes me happy.

Used it with a batterie bank and it works great. Extends the life of my g85 for ever
