GH5 DMW-BLF19 Dummy Battery Coupler that works on the GH5 from 7.2V power source?

[analogs]

I keep getting an issue that the "Battery cannot be used" on the GH5 when using the Dummy Battery connected to a V-mount plate that outputs 7.2 Volts (7.8 volts measured).

The dummy battery works fine with an 8.4 volt dc power adaptor source (8.7 volts measured) but once I connect to a DC supply that produces 7.2-7.8 volts, it will not work.

I have read elsewhere that the camera will behave this way if it receives less than 8 volts.

Aren't the original DMW-BLF19 batteries rated at 7.2 volts??

Are there any dummy batteries out there that actually work with the GH5 using 7.2 volts, or is my best bet to use a d-tap to 8.4 volt converter on my v-mount plate connected to my current dummy battery?

Thank you.

Yes, since GH2 was introduced, this has been a known issue with GHxx cameras. Panasonic designed the software so the cameras are powered by their OEM batteries only capable of telling the camera that they are "Real Panasonic".
If not, the voltage is expected to be 8.3V-8.4V coming from the external Panasonic supply, not generic 7.2Vbatteries.
We designed a workaround back then - follow the link https://www.dolgin.net/zen_dolgin/i...ath=18&zenid=b45ff09f5bfc0c893c2ebeea87955480

I use the DMW-BLF19 dummy battery with the Lanparte power pitch and Anton Bauer Gold Mount batteries. I connect my GH5s to the 7.4v with no problems whatsoever. I have been using this setup for almost 2 years now.
