Camcorder Power
Posted on Monday, August 23, 2010 in Photography
Want to power a Camcorder with D batteries, how?
I've got it to work with 2 9v batteries but it doesn't last long. Normally it just plugs into the wall with a 12v 500mah power adapter with no factory battery option. How many D batteries would i need to make this work? I need it to last at least 2 hours. Or is there an option to buy a camcorder battery and just solder the leads to that?
broadcast grade cameras use batteries that cost $200 to $600 each. so over the years i have found ways to substitute alternatives. not too many consumer camcorders run on 12 volts anymore, that era went out with VHS. D cells would be very awkward at best. you can get 12 volt batteries for use with home power tools, and they have rechargers so that is where i suggest you try first.
