Kondor Blue 16-Inch D-Tap to USB-C Power Delivery Cable for R5C - Raven Black

Kondor Blue KBDTUSBC16 16-Inch D-Tap to USB-C Power Delivery Cable

The Kondor Blue KBDTUSBC16 16-Inch D-Tap to USB-C Power Delivery Cable provides an external power connection for the Canon EOS R5 C and compatible Sony mirrorless cameras. Designed for professional filmmaking, this cable connects a D-Tap-equipped V-Mount or Gold Mount battery to a camera's USB-C power input, supporting extended recording sessions and demanding production workflows.

Built for filmmakers, cinematographers, and camera operators, this 16-inch cable provides a compact solution for powering cameras from professional battery systems. Its USB-C Power Delivery (PD) connection supports the external power configuration required for 8K 60 RAW recording on the Canon R5 C. Camera operators can integrate the cable into handheld rigs, shoulder-mounted setups, and other professional camera configurations. By drawing power from a compatible external battery, users can reduce their reliance on smaller internal camera batteries during extended shoots.

The cable also supports convenient battery changes during production. With an LPE6 battery installed inside the Canon R5 C, the camera can maintain power while the external V-Mount or Gold Mount battery is exchanged. This arrangement helps reduce interruptions during filming, interviews, and other continuous recording applications. Available in Standard, Raven Black, and Cardinal Red versions, the cable offers the same core D-Tap to USB-C power connection across all three options. Its 16-inch length makes it suitable for camera rigs that position an external battery close to the camera body.
