C200: USB mini-B terminal to provide power to a device?

[Kees T]

I am using a wireless HDMI transmission set (Teradek Spark 4k) on my C200. The transmitter has an internal battery as well as a USB-C port to provide power to the unit. Can I safely use the USB mini-B terminal on the C200 to provide power to the transmitter by its UBS-C port?

Get some of these Core SWX Nano batteries. They work great to power the camera, and they provide d-tap and USB power.

Thank you for this useful tip. In the mean time my solution is using a small PD power bank (10.000mAh) mounted on the handle of the C200 by means of the SmallRig 2790 power bank holder. In this way I can power my Teradek transmitter for several hours.
