NEEWER D Tap EN-EL25 dummy battery
Product description
A NEEWER D Tap to EN-EL25 dummy battery helps you keep your Nikon Z-series filming and live sessions running with a steady external power source. It swaps in for Nikon EN-EL25 so your camera has the right connection, while a D tap cable link is designed to work with compatible V mount batteries. If you want fewer interruptions during longer takes, this is a practical accessory to consider for creators and event teams who rely on continuous power. 🎥
Key points
This dummy battery is built as a direct replacement for the Nikon EN-EL25, so it supports Nikon Z fc, Z30, and Z50 compatibility for everyday use. The D tap cable connection gives you a clear path to power the camera from V mount batteries rather than depending on internal camera power for extended shoots. That matters when you are doing long form recording, live streaming, conferencing, or any setup where camera power stability directly affects your workflow.
The integrated approach is also focused on continuity. With a fully decoded design and an integrated protection system, it aims to help avoid on screen interruptions during recording. For many users, the biggest day to day benefit is reducing cable and power related disruptions, which can be especially frustrating in multi device rigs.
You also get a cable designed to stay manageable. The spring coiled cable is easier to keep distinct between multiple recording devices, helps reduce clutter, and is intended to prevent tangling. It is a small detail, but it often makes a noticeable difference when you are packing gear between locations or running a busy production day.

What stands out
A key advantage is the way this accessory blends continuous shooting with external V mount power. When you are using compatible NEEWER V mount batteries, including the PS099E portable mini V mount battery, the setup is designed to support longer and safer footage compared with relying on internal power alone. It also aims to reduce issues like cable failures that can otherwise interrupt important moments or scheduled segments. 🔌
The fully decoded design is another important point. It is intended to make sure there are no pop up alerts interrupting your creation sessions, which helps keep your live or recorded workflow calmer and more consistent. Take note that the on screen behaviour depends on camera settings and firmware, so it is wise to check your specific setup when you first install it.
Compatibility is also a major part of the value here. The product description indicates support for V mount batteries via D tap connection, including NEEWER PS099E, BP-95W, BP-150WS, BP-190WS, BP-V47, and SmallRig V mount battery series. It also states compatibility with certain Sony V mount batteries such as BP-U65, BP-U68, BP-U100, and BP-U90, which is helpful if your kit already uses that format. 🎬
Who it’s for
It’s a good fit if you run Nikon Z fc, Z30, or Z50 rigs and you want to power the camera during longer shoots or continuous workflows. It makes sense if you are setting up live streaming, video conferencing, vlogging, or filmmaking sessions where power reliability and fewer interruptions are priorities. You’ll likely appreciate it if your production uses V mount batteries and you prefer a simpler external power chain.
It may not suit you if you plan to rely on the camera’s internal battery for everything, or if your existing power setup does not include a compatible V mount battery with D tap capability. It might also be less convenient if you need a very compact, minimal cable routing, because the spring coiled cable is designed for flexible positioning rather than a short fixed run.
