This works exactly as intended, nothing complicated about it. I used it on my Canon R5 with no issues at all. Just make sure you have either a dummy battery camera door that allows the cable to pass through or something pressing down on the door sensor so the camera powers on properly. Also important to pair it with a proper PD adapter to avoid any power issues. Build quality feels solid and the price is definitely a great value for what it offers. Read more

This review is for the LSYRIA PD Type C USB-C to LP-E6 Dummy Battery Coiled Power Cable Compatible with Canon EOS R R5 R6 90D 80D 70D 60D 60Da 5D 5DSR Mark II III IV 6D Mark II 7D Mark II Cameras. I chose this cable to use with an EOS 80D camera that I use for meetings and presentations with an HDMI switcher. In the past I used a separate DC couple that required its own mains adapter, but I already had a 240W power adapter that had multiple USB-C outputs. Now I have a cleaner simpler setup since I just plug this cable in to the adapter and leave the dummy battery in the EOS 80D for whenever I need to go online. I have also used this cable to run the camera from a high output battery power bank. When I fitted this dummy battery to an EOS R6 camera I noticed that the camera identified it as an LP-E6 battery, not the expected DR-E6 dc coupler. This means that the faster drive speeds are not possible to achieve when using this cable with the camera. Priced at £24.99 I think the price is reasonable for the convenience and frees up a mains plug on my desk. Read more

Works great on Blackmagic Micro Studio G2 camera as a dummy insert. I really like the use of USB-C rather than full size DTAP since this rig is lightweight and nimble. No issues. Read more

I ordered this dummy battery to use with my R6 when filming and shooting timelapses, and it’s been a very practical addition to my setup. Straight out of the box, the DC coupler feels well made, with a solid casing and neatly coiled cable that stretches comfortably without feeling flimsy. The USB-C connector clicks in firmly and the little LED indicator is a nice touch, showing clearly when it’s drawing power from a PD-compatible source. In real use, it’s been very reliable. I’ve powered my camera from both a USB-C wall charger and a PD power bank, which makes it ideal for longer shoots or outdoor sessions when swapping batteries isn’t convenient. The fit inside the camera’s battery compartment is snug, and the cable is flexible enough to route through the rubber flap without causing strain. One small drawback is that it only works with proper PD outputs delivering 9V or 12V. Some lower-powered USB ports won’t trigger the green light or power the camera, so you do need to check your source beforehand. Aside from that, it’s performed exactly as expected. It’s not perfect, but for the price and convenience, it’s a solid and reliable solution for extended shooting sessions. Read more
