You would need to build an AC/DC converter if you really wanted to get it working off of an AC power outlet, and that's beyond any of the articles I've found on the subject. The latter is what I eventually did, although I have not used it in some time (I generally just seek out birds when the sun is out now.hell of a lot easier than trying to lug around a big, heavy deep cycle around with me all the time.) This is pretty easy to get working off a deep cycle or small sealed lead acid batteries. It actually is not all that difficult, and this article covers the specifics: The other option is to make your own mains power supply adapter. I looked into this years ago as a potential continuous power source for doing bird photography off a deep cycle battery (mainly to improve recycle times, less so for longevity.) The productis the Tronix SpeedFire.honestly not sure if it's still sold. There is only one commercial product for this that I know of, from Innovatronix. Sure, if you want to drop $70 on the OEM that's cool, but to me it's like dropping $60 each on extra batteries. Now, I always carry 2 spares in my road case, just like I carry replacement bulbs for my Pro light, and extra stands, and you get the idea. Sure, they are not as heavy duty as the Canon unit, but the one I bought had the same grade power cable, and molded end, and even the battery block was a dead ringer (except for the Canon logo). The only thing it will hurt is your pride, not your camera.Īll that I can say is, in all the years (10) I've used "cheapie" aftermarket AC adapters, I've never had one fail on a shoot (and I use them all the time). As long as your Power Supply is rated 7.4v 2a, and it has an overload protection circuit (it's a requirement to sell them in the USA) the worst it can do is NOT supply your required DC current (7.4v is NOT a lot of juice, for reference) and your camera will stop.
It also had a ferrite noise filter on the cable, which go for $1 each on Amazon. qa7-3224-v01 xxxxxxxx ©canon inc.2004 printed in thailand The following ink tanks are compatible with iP3000.
The overall construction was no better than the "cheapies" I've been buying, except that the block was heavier. So, I opened up the beautiful, heavy duty packaging, and the soft plastic wrap, only to find one of the connectors (1/2 an inch from the power block "reinforcement) kinked to the point that it was barely connected to the block. I just purchased my first 2 "Canon" brand AC adapters last week, at $70 a pop.
I've been using them on Canon DSLRs for 4 years.
I've been using 3rd party Camera AC Adapters for almost 10 years.
