When i bought the Nikon Z9, i was keen to try out the Usb charging facility on the new camera. Because of the high price of replacement batteries I wanted to try supplimenting the Z9 power from a portable powerbank. This proved easier said than done. I tried a couple of existing powerbanks that i had and they wouldn't work. After much research I found a powerbank that would do the job. the Anker Powercore Essential 20000PD. Join me for this short film as I explain the method of charging and demonstrate one of my Eardley Creation custom made pouches for containing it. These relatively small power packs are superb for charging all manner of electronic devices i.e. watches, phones, camera batteries, drones, mini pumps, headtorches ets, etc.

I am thrilled to have found your helpful video after watching several others and struggling to learn how to add the Anker Powercore Essential 20000 to the Nikon Z8. Alas, your video was a pleasure to watch and provided excellent advice for outdoor shooting🙏. I appreciate your precise delivery and the help you provided. Keep up the great work and I will look forward to seeing more excellent footage as your subscriber. Cheers.

Good video Simon! As long as the powerbank is PD3.0 compatible it will work. PD stands for power delivery and it creates a handshake communication between the two devices. This was each device only get what it needs and when it needs it.

Works well on Canon too. Been using this for a couple of years on my RP and R6. Another advantage is the ability to recharge the power bank in the car..., no excuses for running ou of power now...

@tomchalephotography6477 Год назад

Awesome vid once again and also very informative, specially for those that were not sure if this could be done. I do the same with my Z6ii when like you I’m in the hide. Need to check out your store as the little bag for the power bank is a perfect idea 😊. Keep up the good work sir. All the best, Tom

Great Video, I had bought two 30000 mah units at 26.99 each on amazon which I had the same issue as you did, charge light came on for a few seconds then went off and wouldnt charge, but when I saw your on screen message saying ensure you use the supplied lead with the Anker unit I went and tried a lead I used for my Ipads which I new charged my camera, plugged into the usb c on my power brick and hey presto it charges the camera, so it would seem its not a special power brick you need but to ensure you have a special charger lead. In my case it was an Apple charge lead for my iPad… awesome, I have 60000mah at my disposal for £54 quid.

Hi Simon. I use an Anker Powercore+ 26800 PD 45W and it's fantastic. I do have 3 Z9 batteries when I'm out and about, but for hide work I always have it hooked up to the USB and it last all day and then some. Great info video, take care!

Thanks Ryan 👍🏼

@billmoyer3254 Год назад

when you destroy your motherboard with a power surge remember you were cautioned

@ryanackland9330 Год назад

I spoke to Nikon first as I didn’t want to do any damage to the camera. They recommended the Anker 26800 as it should not be anymore than 45W.

@GeoffCooper Год назад

Interesting little video :) I've got a couple of older 26800mAh powerbanks wich are not 'Power Delivery' and they /can/ charge the Z9 or Z9 battery in its charger, but only if I use a very beefy and short USB-C cable! Also, there are 3rd party batteries for the Z9 - I've got one from Wasabi Power that was about half the price of a Nikon one and works perfectly..

@simoneardley Год назад

Cheers Geoff, its just dead handy to be able to charge the battery in the camera. 3rd party batteries are a no go for me, a mate of mine fried his D500 with one so I'm always a bit wary of non genuine batteries.

@sushi8204 Год назад

@@simoneardley I have been using DSTE batteries for a very long time on many of my cameras Nikon and Canon without any problems whatsoever. Wasabi is shit actually. DSTE has been around for a very long time. DSTE EN-EL18 work just fine in Z9. By July their EN-EL15 will work in Z8. Also, DSTE make EN-EL18 that are different for D500 grip. They have an adapter that is build in and it also charges the battery at the same time. Each battery comes with its own charger too. I will not use any other brand but DSTE. Their customer support is excellent too.

@royparkes6182 Год назад

Hi Simon another very informative video, love these tips. I noticed in one of your older videos that you had the Imuto powerbank with you when using the d500, were you able to charge the d500 direct fromthe Imuto as you have done in this video?

@simoneardley Год назад

Hi Roy, I'm sorry but I'm not able to answer that question definitively. I dont remember charging the D500 from the powerbanks.

@alasdairmackenzie905 Год назад

I use a Juice 10,050 mAh LongWeekender power bank (bought on a whim from Sainsbury's a couple of years back for £20) with my Sony A7iii It gives me the equivalent of more than four Sony NP-FZ100 batteries for less than one third of the price of one. I can run the camera directly from it (as long as the battery is in) and also use it to charge the battery itself when the camera isn't in use. Very handy to have.

@simoneardley Год назад

Nice one Alisdair, like you say its a great cost cutting alternative to expensive branded batteries 👍🏼

@robertlawrence7958 Год назад

Greenfinch, probably my favourite garden bird. We had a long spell where we didn't see any (I think due to a specific disease that was going around) but thankfully we once again have a pair visiting the garden. On the charging topic; can you charge the camera directly via usb cables from those big powerbank thingys that everyone who ows a camper/motorhome seems to have reviewed? I appreciate that you can take the camera battery charger and plug that into the big powerbank as a middle man so to speak, but if you can go the USB route then the battery charger could be left at home.

@simoneardley Год назад

Yeh were the same , not seen Greenfinches for ages and now we have a pair visiting regularly. I'll check on the big powerbank.

@bobhingsbergen6632 10 месяцев назад

Once you have multiple batteries, look to get a USB charger for your off-camera battery(s). I have the Nitecore UNK2 for my Z6ii. I'm not sure if there's one for the Z9 battery yet.

Good stuff, as always; thanks. I'm going to be photographing polar bears above the arctic circle in Canada (spending 10 days on the ice) -- do you know how many times this will recharge a Z9 battery?

Wow, thats gonna be some trip. Hope you get some great images and you find the bears. I cant tell you exactly how many times it will charge the Z9

@raysanders332 Год назад

I was under the impression the power bank would power the camera when plugged into camera.

@simoneardley Год назад

The powerbank kicks in as soon as the camera goes into standby mode

I’ve been watching several of the videos and all this time I’ve thought Miraless was a brand. It just occurred to me that you’re using a mirror-less DSLR camera! I’m a Yank, so forgive me. For over a year I thought Gordon Ramsey was saying “bloody L”

@thomasbednarowski1651 Год назад

Simon. I have an question regarding Tragopan camshield and the ones for the big primes. They are made from less pcs.than competitors in order to better protect Gear but also this way the preset focus rings (i dont know how its called in Nikon) are covered by the material. Is there any Access to this ring? I tried to ask Jonathan from Tragopan but he didnt answered fully my question. He only mentioned about protection and the button AF stop in case of Canon.

@simoneardley Год назад

Thanks for the question Thomas. I'll be honest, I dont know. Im at the birdfair in July with Tragopan so I'll definately found out by then.

@joebecker3107 Год назад

As long as the powerbank is a power delivery (PD) USB-C it should power/charge the Z9. Also, There is a setting in the Z9 under the "setup Menu" where you can turn on "USB power delivery " .. when thats on, your power bank will actually power the Z9 and won't put drain on the battery and then when you turn your camera off it will switch to charging the battery. Then switch back to running the camera when you turn it back on. So even if you have a low/dead battery, you don't have to charge the battery to operate the camera, you can just run it off the powerbank. A couple weeks ago, I photographed the Aurora for 6 hrs on a battery that was basically dead. I just ran the Z9 off of a power bank. Works great for doing exactly what you're doin too., Sitting in a blind. Which is my favorite way to photograph
