Q: 4. Will this work with the canon m50? I need the battery door to be closed though.

A: The GyroVu D-Tap to Canon LP-E12 Dummy Battery (30") will work with the Canon M50, but it would require that the battery door remain open or be removed entirely. Unfortunately since the M50 doesn't have a power input, using a dummy battery and keeping the battery door open is the only way to power the camera with an external power source.

Q: 5. This battery coupler says it is compatible with the Canon PowerShot SX70. In one of the reviews, it shows a plug receptacle in the middle of the top of the battery and a flap in the battery door. My SX70 has no flap in the battery door, but instead has one in the side of the case that would access the top outer side of the battery. If this is compatible with the SX70, how do you hook it up?

A: Yes on the Canon SX70 the cable would be threaded out the side next to the battery door.

Q: 6. If I don't have a D-Tap Source, Can I solder in a good 12v or 5v adapter on the D-Tap End and use this to power my camera directly for the wall?

A: We are not aware of that being possible with this product.

Q: 7. Will this work with the RP model?

A: No, the GyroVu D-Tap to Canon LP-E12 Dummy Battery (30") is not compatible with the Canon EOS RP. We recommend using the GyroVu D-Tap to Canon LP-E17 Dummy Battery (30")(BH #GYVDTAPLPE17) instead. See: https://bit.ly/3SWrdC4
