Gonine for Sony ZV-1 Dummy Battery AC-LS5 Continuous Power Supply AC Adapter ...

It worked when others did not. I've tried multiple options for providing direct power to my Sony ZV-1F so I don't have to chase down and charge batteries. I use this camera for multiple things, but mostly it stays on a tripod in my office/studio for recording. Plugging the camera directly into USB-C power works fine, unless I need to use the same setup for something like a webinar/stream. Then the power output by the laptop doesn't seem to be able to keep the battery running. I needed a more permanent solution for day-to-day operations.I looked at and tried multiple dummy batteries and this one JUST WORKED and it worked well. I can't close the battery door (more on that later), but I also got the NEEWER grip (https://a.co/d/e975f2R) on the same order and although this doesn't eliminate the problem, it does help mitigate it.Design-wise: it's fine and I've seen people mention the battery door being a problem. At least for my camera (ZV-1F) the camera was never intended to run without a traditional battery (unlike my Canon EOS), so it doesn't have a 'channel' for feeding the wire out. I knew this going in, so I wasn't surprised.It's the right size for my needs and I have the power inverter Velcro-strapped to one of the legs of my tripod. This works for me and my setup.

Amazing for recording for 1-2 hours straight without the hassle of changing batteries every 30-40 minutes. I have been using it for more than a year and is still working great for podcasting.

I have a podcast (hey, True Crime Travelers) and we record for hours on end. This dummy battery keeps my camera from overheating, turning off or losing power (obv). Super easy to set up but you will need a bracket that goes underneath (search camera bracket) because the camera door has to stay open for this to work. Once you have the bracket, this is easy to use and honestly, a life saver.

I spend time in two countries and this is so cheap I own 2 so I don't need to pack it. I do not get the pros who relying on batteries. I just shot an 18 minute video and I eh, no battery worries. Heck the cord does not interfere with my teleprompter rails Life is all good.

Everything is great. I can finally use my camera as a webcam without changing batteries every couple hours. However I didn’t realize the battery compartment wouldn’t close. Not this product’s fault (unless they could design a flat flexible study cable which seems unlikely) but I wish I knew ahead of time. Having the battery compartment open all day doesn’t impact performance. I have considered carving out the plastic (my Nikon has a little notch for a cable) but there’s really no “need” to mutilate the Sony camera body for the sake of … wish the battery door would close.

No more shutting down while streaming.

I've had to replace the micro hdmi cord and my camlink with my SONY ZV-1 3x over the last 2 years of near daily use. One thing is for sure this has never needed replacing. Updating after realizing I'm ordering yet another cam link and hdmi cord for the third time in less than three years...

The media could not be loaded. This dummy charger is my absolute GO TO!! Best investment for my camera by far. It’s easy to use. The cord is long enough to fit and setup almost anywhere. It’s never died on me and my Sony ZV-1F has THE WORST battery life.
