Re: Where can I find a "dummy battery" for the NX500?

I fully understand. But, "fake" batteries for nx are very hard to get a hold of, there have been several tries, but I don't recall anyone actually finding one (and reporting back to forum). On the other hand, you can power NX500 via USB port and it does not heat up unless it's actually charging the battery - so no heating if the battery was full to start with. I have tested this with long video shoots (IIRC, up to 3 hrs on time constantly).

Edit - you might have luck with samsungparts but you need the exact unit number.
