He has excellent tips. Among the accessories he advises the use of is a “dummy battery”, which apparently is a device that you insert into the camera, making it think it is equipped with a battery, while it is in fact connected to the mains, allowing you to work all day if needed without having to worry about power supply —as long as you are someplace where you can remain plugged into a wall socket, of course.I didn’t know such a clever device existed, but I did a bit of market research for our cameras, and I found this Neewer model that looks good.Now, I was wondering how the cable would go through or around the battery trapdoor... Well, on the product description photos, there is one that shows a little rubber opening one can flip open or closed... I went back to my Z7 II, and even though I had never suspected its existence, it sure is there, and can indeed be opened for the cable to snake through...!  <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite30" alt=":geek:" title="Geek    :geek:" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":geek:" />   It is not expensive: 30 dollars in the US (on Amazon <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Battery-Replacement-LP-E6NH-Coupler-Compatible/dp/B0B5WY8T96?th=1" target="_blank">here</a>), 38 euros in France (the VAT is the difference, I suspect), and I might get one, although these days I do not run such long sessions in the studio as a guy like Chouciño does. But “Be prepared!” as they say.What do you guys think? Would you buy one?[ATTACH=full]410933[/ATTACH]</blockquote>
