The Kondor Blue D-Tap to Sony A7SIII/A7IV NP-FZ100 Dummy Battery Cable (Raven Black) is an A7IV dummy battery on a black coiled lead: the NP-FZ100-shaped dummy goes into the battery slot of an A7 IV, A7S III or another NP-FZ100 body, and the D-Tap plug draws from a V-Mount or Gold Mount battery or plate. A regulator inside the dummy accepts 8V to 17V and holds the camera at 8V, rated at 2A, for interviews, events and timelapses that would outlast the camera's own battery.

Key Features

  • NP-FZ100-size dummy battery on the camera end and a D-Tap plug on the battery end, joined by a Raven Black coiled cable
  • Takes 8V to 17V from any D-Tap source and regulates it to 8V at the camera, rated at 2A
  • The regulator is built into the dummy battery housing, so nothing extra hangs along the cable between battery and camera
  • Coil sits at 16 in (about 41 cm) and stretches to 36 in (about 91 cm), with a nylon braided jacket, reinforced connectors and a weight of 1.9 oz (about 54 g)
  • Kondor Blue lists 17 Sony cameras for it: A1, A6600, A6700, A7 III, A7 IV, A7C, A7C II, A7CR, A7R III, A7R IV, A7R V, A7S III, A9, A9 II, FX3, FX30 and ZV-E1, plus the Sony NPA-MQZ1K

In the Box

  • 1 x Kondor Blue D-Tap to Sony NP-FZ100 Dummy Battery Cable, Raven Black (16 to 36 in coiled)

How It Compares

Feature Kondor Blue D-Tap to NP-FZ100 dummy (this cable) Kondor Blue Gerald Undone cable with FZ100 adapter
Build One piece, dummy fixed to the coil Coiled D-Tap to locking 2.1 mm DC cable plus a 4 in FZ100 dummy adapter
Camera-side output 8V regulated, 2A About 8V, camera dependent, 2A
Coiled length 16 to 36 in 16 to 36 in
Other battery types NP-FZ100 only Swap the adapter for NP-F, BLK22 or LP-E6
Colour Raven Black Purple
  • Choose this cable when every body on the cart takes NP-FZ100 batteries and you want a single piece with no joint between the battery and the camera.
  • Choose the Kondor Blue Gerald Undone Dummy Battery Power Cables when one D-Tap lead has to move between a Sony A7 IV, a Canon LP-E6 body and a Lumix BLK22 body. You keep the coiled cable and change only the 4 in dummy adapter.

Pair It With

  • Same cable in blue: the Kondor Blue colourway (KB-DT-SA7S-DB) has the same NP-FZ100 dummy and coil, useful when each camera on a shoot gets its own cable colour.
  • USB-C instead of the battery slot: the Kondor Blue 16" D-Tap to USB-C Power Delivery Cable in Raven Black powers an A7 IV, A7S III or FX3 through its USB-C port and keeps an internal battery charged, so the V-Mount or Gold Mount battery can be changed while the camera stays on.
  • A D-Tap power source: any battery, battery plate or mains supply with a D-Tap output between 8V and 17V. Use the cable for the camera only. Kondor Blue says lights and other high-current loads can overheat it or make it fail.

FAQ

Will this work with the Sony A7 IV?

Yes. The A7 IV is on Kondor Blue's list for this NP-FZ100 dummy, together with the A7S III, A7 III and A7C II. One A7 IV owner reported an "incompatible battery" message and a shutdown that carried on even with Sony batteries afterwards, so run your camera on the cable for a while before a paid shoot.

Will this work with the Sony A6700?

Yes. Kondor Blue lists the A6700 and the A6600 for this cable, alongside the full-frame NP-FZ100 bodies. The dummy goes in the camera's battery slot, and the coil stretches to 36 in, so the D-Tap plug can reach a battery plate at the back of a small rig.

Does this work with the A7S II?

The A7S II is not on Kondor Blue's list for this cable. The list covers NP-FZ100 bodies such as the A7S III, A7 III, A7R III and A9, so check which battery your camera takes before you order. Filmgear Canada can help you match a dummy cable to your body.

Does the dummy regulate the power to the camera if I use a large 14.8V V-Mount battery?

Yes. The regulator sits inside the dummy battery. It accepts 8V to 17V from the D-Tap port, which covers a 14.8V V-Mount battery, and holds the camera side at 8V with a 2A rating. A bigger battery in watt-hours runs the camera for longer; the camera still receives 8V.

Can I run an A7R IV continuously from an AC to D-Tap power supply?

Kondor Blue lists the A7R IV and says this cable powers the camera from any power source with a D-Tap input. A mains supply works the same way as a battery as long as its D-Tap output sits inside the 8V to 17V input range, so check that figure on the supply first.
