The ZGCINE D-Tap to LP-E6 Dummy Battery Cable is the essential power accessory for Canon camera operators who need uninterrupted, continuous power during video recording, live broadcasts, or studio shoots. Drawing 12V–17V from any V-mount or Gold-mount battery via its 180°-rotatable D-Tap connector, it delivers a stable, regulated 8V / 2A output straight to your Canon body — eliminating the worry of a flat battery mid-take.
Built with a fully decoded chip that prevents annoying pop-up warnings on your Canon camera, this ZGCINE cable features a durable 60 cm braided wire and a built-in anti-reverse LED indicator so you always connect with confidence. Comprehensive protection against overvoltage, overheating, overcharge, and short circuits keeps both your camera and your battery system safe throughout the longest shoots.
Key features
- 180° Rotatable D-Tap Connector — flexes to fit awkward rig angles without straining the cable or your battery plate.
- Regulated 8V / 2A Output — delivers stable, clean power (from a 12V–17V source) identical to a genuine Canon LP-E6 battery, preventing exposure flicker or camera resets.
- Full-Decode Upgraded Chip — communicates natively with Canon bodies so no ‘non-genuine battery’ pop-up interrupts your recording or live stream.
- Anti-Reverse LED Indicator — glows to confirm correct D-Tap polarity before you power up, protecting your equipment from accidental reverse insertion.
- Quad Safety Protection — guards against overvoltage, overheating, overcharge, and short-circuit for worry-free extended shooting sessions.
- 60 cm Braided Cable — tangle-resistant, durable sleeving gives enough reach to route cleanly on a shoulder rig or cage without excess slack.

Frequently asked questions
Which Canon cameras is this dummy battery cable compatible with?
The cable uses an LP-E6 dummy battery, making it compatible with Canon cameras that accept the LP-E6, LP-E6N, or LP-E6NH battery — including popular models like the EOS 5D, 6D, 7D, 90D, R5, and R6 series. The fully decoded chip ensures no battery warning pop-ups appear on screen.
What power source do I need to use this cable?
You need a D-Tap (P-Tap) output source supplying between 12V and 17V, such as a V-mount or Gold-mount battery commonly used on video rigs. The cable internally regulates the output to a steady 8V / 2A to safely power your Canon camera.
Is it safe to use this cable for long live streams or extended recordings?
Yes. The ZGCINE cable includes built-in protection against overvoltage, overheating, overcharge, and short-circuits, and the anti-reverse LED indicator prevents incorrect connection. Together these features make it safe and reliable for continuous power during long video recordings or live broadcasts.
