Powering R6 MK2 and Shinobi 2 using the same NP-F adapter?
Hi all.
I just got my Shinobi 2 the other day and encountered a problem I didn't expect. I tried to find info here but there is a lot of conflicting information and not exactly the same setups as mine.
So, I have my Shinobi powered with Neewer V mount battery using a D-Tap to NP-F adapter. I hoped I could just use the PD from the Shinobi to power my R6 but it only outputs 15W which is not enough. It does charge the battery when the camera is off but it is not enough to power it while operating.
I've read that you shouldn't power camera and monitor from the same v mount battery (for example D tap out to monitor and another to dummy in camera)but would it be safe to use either a USB -C to Dummy R6 (plugged in the shinobi NP-F adapter which does have a USB C out on top) or NP-F to dummy E6 connected to the same adapter as Shinobi (it is dual sided)?
So basically both powered from a single D Tap on the v mount? Or it is still creating the same issue?
What would be safest approach here? If my initial idea doesn't work I am guessing a PDF plate for v mount and then whatever I feel like?
I should also mention that I need the USB C connection between camera and Shinobi because I use it to control the camera.
Any advice or solutionwould be much appreciated!
