I’m always skeptical to 3rd party power solutions risking swollen battery or dangerous adaptor. I’m using the USB solution now and it’s safest due to its low power throughput and very flexible. I have Omnicharge so I can use the original Canon AC adaptor outdoor too, but the USB solution is a lot lighter. Maybe due to this, Canon staff told me they’ve stopped manufacturing the coupler.
@TechGearTalk

Good perspective. Are you saying that Canon stopped manufacturing the coupler because it was causing a problem? Is this true with the AC and USB? or just AC? Curious. Thank you for all the insight.
@SpringloftStudio

Tech Gear Talk not problems with the Canon parts. I mean before I use the USB solution same as yours, I’ve bought 2 sets of Canon AC adaptors and the couplers, separately as they’re no longer offered as sets. When I was talking to the Canon staff at their CS center picking up the coupler, I saw the coupler packing were quite worn out and they’re clearing stock. So one staff told me once these are cleared there’d be no more as they’ve stopped making it. It makes total sense as no one buying these Canon parts anymore if the 3rd party solutions are well performing and cheap, not to mention that most M users are opting for convenience but not pro like us needing lots of power. There’s no profit producing the coupler, especially made in Japan, anymore. I just won’t feel safe using a 3rd party AC adaptor due to hissing or fried camera reported on Amazon. But the USB cable is only stepped up to 8.something V and I can choose which power pack to supply like 5V 2.4A Max or even QC3 batteries supply about 15W only, so there’s little chance damaging the camera and not even need to worry catching fire. If anyone own the AC adaptor already, yes the Omnicharge battery is powerful enough to drive it and that’s meaning 70 WH vs the original Canon LP-E12 6.3WH... but I’ll plug it in like your case by the USB cable.
@SpringloftStudio
5 жыл бұрын
Actually the very last thing I hope failing is when I need a shot, the power fail out. I also read from Amazon like Wasabi battery swollen after 1-2 years. If you’re in Asia you’d have heard lots of reporting of poor AC adaptors causing fire or people shocked to death by phone chargers. Though not as many reports recently, I’d still stay away from them. There reasons original or branded adaptors being heavy and expensive. For the USB step up cable, I got them from AliExpress. That’s the level of power I’d dare to use cheap 3rd party solutions.

@@TechGearTalkJust to not have to worry about charging between filming. Heaven. Question: I'm looking at the SanDisk Extreme Pro 170 MB/s V30 (3) (10) 128GB. The SanDisk I have now has to stop and buffer to much. And I blow through 32GB sooo fast. I'm trying to learn write speed and read speed. How do I know what the write speed of the M50 is? I saw a few places that read, write speeds are up to 90 MB/s and read speeds up to 170MB/s. What I have now is both slow in write and read, so I thought the SanDisk Extreme Pro would be a good fit. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks again about the battery. Really helpful.

It's fate that I find this video the day after my USB charger (for Canon 2000d with an E10 shaped connector but same principle). I've only tried it at home so far but having the ability to use a 10,000mAh battery pack means that even if I generally use my 2 normal e10 batteries I always have the piece of mind of the external battery option. Definitely a recommended option.

My M50 shuts off after 30 minutes of video and I assumed it was the battery. Is it true that a DSLR can't maintain a large file size? If so, can I just stop and restart the camera to begin a new file? All this time I was thinking I had a battery problem??

Sweet. Those are some very interesting options to overcome a pretty glaring weakness in the usability of the M50. I am looking for a relatively cost-effective camera, and I have been considering the G7. But it's auto focus weaknesses are pretty well chronicled. So, I keep hearing your 'buy it twice' rationale in my head, and I keep coming back to the M50. I anticipate using it out doors a lot, so the battery life of the M50 has given me pause, especially since I plan to use it quite a bit in the winter snowmobiling. The external mobile power option is a great fix.
