Power adapter Newell N-ADAP-D-TAP-NP-FW50 — D-Tap to Sony NP-FW50 battery adapter

Adapter Newell N-ADAP-D-TAP-NP-FW50 converts D-Tap power output to a Sony NP-FW50-compatible battery connection. It is designed to supply continuous power to cameras and accessories that accept NP-FW50 batteries by using external power sources equipped with a D-Tap output, such as V-mount or Gold mount batteries and power distribution rigs. This adapter helps reduce battery swaps during extended shoots on location or in studio environments where stable, long-duration power is required.

Advantages

The Newell D-Tap to NP-FW50 adapter provides a straightforward and compact solution for powering NP-FW50-powered cameras and accessories from D-Tap-equipped battery systems. It preserves the original battery form factor on the device side while enabling connection to higher-capacity external power sources, which can extend runtime and simplify power management. The adapter's design emphasizes compatibility with standard D-Tap outputs and NP-FW50 battery contacts to ensure reliable power delivery during recording sessions.

Suitable for

• Powering Sony cameras and mirrorless bodies that use NP-FW50 battery mounts during long takes or time-lapse sessions
• On-set and location shoots where external D-Tap battery packs or power belts are available
• Accessory power when accessories are designed to accept NP-FW50 battery form-factor connections

Key specifications

• Input type: D-Tap power connector (from external battery or rig)
• Output type: NP-FW50-compatible battery connector (fits NP-FW50 battery slot)
• Function: Power conversion/adaptation from D-Tap to NP-FW50 form-factor
• Typical use: Continuous power supply for cameras and accessories in place of NP-FW50 batteries

How to use

Connect the adapter's D-Tap input to a power source that provides the appropriate voltage and current via a standard D-Tap cable or port. Insert the NP-FW50-compatible end into the camera's NP-FW50 battery compartment as if installing a regular battery; ensure correct orientation and secure closure of the battery latch. Verify that the camera recognizes the external power and check for stable operation before critical recording. Disconnect in reverse order when finished: remove the NP-FW50 end from the device, then unplug the D-Tap connection.

Usage recommendations

Use the adapter with D-Tap power sources that match the camera's voltage and current requirements. Avoid connecting to power supplies with incompatible voltages. Inspect contacts for cleanliness and secure connections before use. When mounting on rigs, ensure cabling is routed to prevent strain on the adapter and camera battery compartment.
