Welcome back. Today we’ll be looking at this Kimaru power adapter for Canon cameras. Little backstory: I have this old 600D and I want to use it as a webcam, but the batteries die pretty quickly, so what you want is a dummy battery.
This is my second dummy battery. The first one I got would power off the camera when I’d turn on the webcam mode — I don’t think it was giving enough power. It was built like garbage, and it came with the wrong plug for my country. I’m in Australia and it came with a US plug. I bought it on Amazon Australia — the picture was wrong and it felt really cheap. This one actually comes in a box, and hopefully it does the job.
Just going to open it up. So far so good. There we go — just instructions, lots of paper. I know what to do with this. Basically you get this little thing, which is the dummy battery, and this is the power supply. This is a lot heavier than the other one. The other one felt so light it wasn’t even funny — it was bigger than this but it felt even lighter. This actually feels like it’s made of something. And of course an Australian plug, because I bought one for the Australian market.
I’m going to put this all together and put it into my camera and we’ll see if it actually does what it’s supposed to do, unlike the other one. Just in case you don’t fully understand what this thing’s for — you put the little plug in here, and now this dummy battery goes into the camera. You just wire it through the little hole and boom, dummy battery.
Yep, it’s all good. It’s plugged in, it’s powered on. The cable is not the longest but it does a good job. If I need it to be longer I might strap it to the tripod, but it seems to work fine. There we have it — you can see NVIDIA Broadcast is removing the background and it’s coming from the Canon over USB. Pretty cool. So I can recommend this as a dummy battery. See you in the next one. Bye.
