## Description

## Quick overview
This SMALLRIG 4253B D-TAP power cable provides continuous power to Sony cameras that use the NP-FZ100 battery. It replaces the NP-FZ100 pack and lets you run an Alpha series camera from an external V-mount battery via D-TAP, which is handy when long recordings or live streams would otherwise drain internal cells. The cable is a practical accessory for videographers, streamers and photographers needing uninterrupted power.

## Tech specs
- Name: SMALLRIG 4253B
- Type: Dummy battery power cable
- Compatibility: Sony NP-FZ100 cameras
- Material: PVC and ABS
- Colour: Black

## Why it’s worth it
The 4253B is described as a fully decoded dummy battery, so the camera should not show an incompatible battery warning when fitted. That reduces interruptions while recording, and the matching size with the original NP-FZ100 helps ensure a secure fit. The cable is compatible with many V-mount batteries that offer a D-TAP output, which increases flexibility for longer shoots. Safety features mentioned include overvoltage, overheating, overcharge and short-circuit protection, along with fire-resistant materials for peace of mind.

## Everyday use
Using the SMALLRIG 4253B is straightforward, plug the dummy battery into the camera and connect the D-TAP to a V-mount supply. It suits scenarios such as live broadcast, time-lapse, extended studio sessions, streaming and file transfers to a PC. **SMALLRIG 4253B** works with several SmallRig V-mount packs and most market V-mount batteries with a D-TAP output. Do note that if you see any charging or performance issues the manufacturer offers support, and keep an eye on temperature during prolonged use.

## Who it’s for
It’s a good fit if you regularly record long takes or stream and want a simple way to power Sony Alpha cameras without swapping internal batteries. Worth considering if you already use V-mount batteries and need reliable, continuous power.
