I now have my new DVX100 for four days and already 16 hrs on the meter - playing and testing...???I am looking for a "bench" power supply I can plug directly into the power socket on the back of the camera. I like to leave my charger and cables in my bag and want to just take out the camera, set it next to the computer and plug in a power cable and firewire and go, without having to unpack the stock charger. Same with my studio - wires for mics, remote, monitor, etc. are strapped to the camera mount so I just have to plug in the camera. Now I still have to haul the power supply from place to place. I'd like to avoid that.
Any suggestions? How tolerant is the camera of power attached to the socket? Can I just get a power supply from Jameco or Fry's that is close to 7.9vdc and plug it in?
Is there someone that makes a power supply specifically for this camera. I've searched the posts and they deal with chargers - I don't need a charger - I have them a-plenty.
Also, can I just take a power cable from the power supply directly from the charger and go into the power socket without using the silly little connector that looks like a super skinny battery. I have larger fingers and its a real pain to put in and out.
Thanks
