Review on 📷 Gonine EP-5A DC Coupler EN-EL14 EN-EL14a Adapter Kit for Nikon D Series & Coolpix Cameras by Cameron Novak

Revainrating 5 out of 5

You can connect 50 Nikon cameras to one of them! :o 6 amps!

The thing has 6 A! Too powerful for any Nikon camera that will fit EL-14/EL-14a batteries, but hey, I love having excess power here :) If you're interested in photogrammetry like me (with multiple cameras), you can actually activate up to 50 Nikon cameras with ONE of them! Because most Nikon cameras that work with EL-14/EL-14a batteries only draw about 0.11 amps. I just buy a bunch of these and then a bunch of EL-14/EL-14a connectors and plug them all together. All my cameras seem to be powered normally. At this point (powering 50 cameras from one power supply) however the power supply starts to heat up so I put mine in a case with fans to cool them (the other part in the power supply). in the photo is an Arduino block for controlling cameras). You can also add 9V DC overvoltage protection at the output (and before splicing 50 pairs) to add an extra precaution/protection. In the event of a power failure, none of the connected cameras will be destroyed. Anyway, they haven't disappointed me yet, so 5/5! I just think the price could be brought down by reducing the amount of performance this thing delivers. You can use a much smaller power supply to power a single camera.

Pros
  • Arouses trust
Cons
  • Out of fashion
