greencorner Posted August 2, 2017 Share #1  Posted August 2, 2017 Werbung (verschwindet nach Registrierung) This is my first posting on this forum. I have just bought a Fuji XT2 which, along with more traditional terrestrial pursuits, I plan to use to record meteor trails during 20 sec exposures over several hours at night. I have, in the past, successfully used my Canon 500D for this purpose.  To ensure no loss of power over this timescale I have used a dummy battery within the Canon body with the cable ending in a cigarette lighter plug which takes power from a heavy duty 12v leisure battery. Mid-point in the cable is a box which, I admit I know nothing about!  There does not seem to be any way I can use a similar setup with my XT2. However, from the very interesting comments on this forum I have googled what I think may be a solution! Belkin sell a USB-C Car Charger with Hardwired USB-C Cable and USB-A Port…..http://www.belkin.com/uk/F7U006-Belkin/p/P-F7U006;jsessionid=3D754903DAB83A45EBD4ECE3F7DD82AE/ This provides 15watt/3amp charging. From Hari’s comment on 4 October 2016 (in a post started by Miguel Oct 02 2016 ‘Charging new XT2 batteries) it appears this may work – with the camera safely taking sufficient power for the duration. Being hardwired should make the setup safe from the effects of dew. Comments would be appreciated. Tony Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jenwe Posted August 2, 2017 Share #2 Â Posted August 2, 2017 Hi Tony, Â just a suggestion: This (http://www.fuji-x-forum.com/) is the english version of this forum. Maybe this a better place for your questions where you can also read all the other threads Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winkelsucher Posted August 2, 2017 Share #3 Â Posted August 2, 2017 Hi Tony, Â you cannot run the camera with USB power. USB power is only for charging the battery when the camera is switched off. The X-T2 makes some wired things if you switch it on when powered over USB. Â Maybe you are looking for this:Â https://www.amazon.de/Fujifilm-16240872-Gleichstromkuppler-CP-W126-Ladeger%C3%A4t/dp/B008H4RSCE Â It's the same like your Canon dummy battery.
