Re: Video: GH5M2/GH6 Portable Power Options

Thank you for the demonstration.

I had investigated into the usage of USB external power bank a few years ago to my Pannys. At that time, PD power bank was not so common and we needed to use a rely box to step up the voltage of those usual 2A 5V output USB power bank, or needed a dummy battery which has the step up voltage IC built in, or a power bank which is capable of >8.4V output.

Very quickly we found new Pannys can take USB power directly (not only for recharging battery but can support operation), the search was cased.

You have provided a very simple and clear instruction on how to do it on the latest Panny cameras. Thank you for that.
