This DIY Battery Adapter ROCKS!

This simple DIY adapter converts your camera's batteries to NP-F mount meaning you can power your camera, monitor, video transmitters, lights and more off of a single battery type. You can now just pack a single battery type (FZ-100, LP-E6 etc) and you're good to go!

WARNING: In case I didn't make it clear enough in the video, be careful when modding batteries and power accessories and perform all of this stuff at your own risk. I would also recommend sticking with official batteries like Sony's FZ-100 as cheaper models may not be up to the task of powering higher current devices. Finally, while these smaller batteries have the same voltage, max current draw is different. So don't use this little fellas on a light that uses NP-F990 batteries like COB lights etc. All that aside, happy modding!
