Rrrrrrrr B : Will this fit a nikon d5200?Rrrrrrrr B : Thanks again, everyone. I am going to get the ep-5a power connector. That fits my d5200 camera. I will also get the eh-5b AC adaptor. What I REALLY need though is a DC adaptor so I can power the camera from a 12-volt battery, as in a car. I do a lot of nighttime astronomy photography while away from AC power. I can't find anything like this on the Internet. I will likely make my own though if I can figure out how to connect to the ep-5a.KARI D : Since the D5200 uses the EN-EL14 battery and this connector fits cameras that use the bulkier EN-EL15 battery, I would say no. But, check the accessories list in your manual or the Nikon USA site to make sure. If you've lost the manual you can download one for free from Nikon Support.ROBERT A : This was only for the D7000. The power supply that this is for goes directly into a D90 and other Nikon cameras but this "adapter" is only for the D7000 to my knowledge. This fits directly into the battery case on the D7000, if it uses the same battery as the D7000 it may work. I don't know if this is helpful.TIM M : No, for the D5200 you need: EH-5b AC Adapter and the EP-5A Power ConnectorMARK S : No, you will need the EP-5A which fits the D5200. The EP-5B fits the D600, D800 and D7000/D7100.SAULIUS T K : I don't know. Never owned a d5200. Usually, there is a list of matching cameras in the item description.
Shopper : What other devices should I use with this to connect to AC source?SAULIUS T K : You need a power supply. This is just a coupler that pretends to be a battery when inserted into your battery compartment. It connects to a power supply which is similar to laptop computer's.DMITRI M : I have it connected to AC adapter EH-5 using the connector cable that came with the adapter. HANKEN EH-5 EH-5A AC Power Adapter / Charger for Nikon D700 D300 D100 D90 D80 D70 D60 D50 D40 D7000 D5000 D3000 D3100 D5100 P7000 DSLR CamerasTIAN W : It must pair w/ Nikon AC Adapter EH-5b.FREDERICK F : Use Nikon AC ADAPTER EH-5aGORDON D : The Nikon EP-5B hooks up to the 'Nikon AC adapter EH5a' which allows you to connect your camera to AC power. I use it for long duration time-lapse photography when AC power is available.Geoffrey S : The "EH-5A" or "EH-5B" (depending on your camera) AC adapter. EH-5B is sold on Adorama, but I had to go to elsewhere for the EH-5A.DANIEL H : Ask the folks who take your money, Adorama,!ROMAN H : You will need the cable to connect this unit to the AC supply. Using this combo is great for saving the battery when downloading pics from camera to computer.
Shopper : Why Did You Choose This?JASON A : needed itJustino R : Nikon's customer service recommend itKRISTLE M : I got one of these so that I didn't have to worry about draining my battering while using my DSLR for live-streaming via capture card which required live-view to remain on.HASON C : Needed it for my Z cameras to live streamLEON K : I needed Longer run times for Studio work, and Time-Lapse work.TIMPER, T : its for my d 850CAROL A S : Need it for night shooting to power the camera without changing. batteriesTIALYN J : I shoot video with my Z6 and wanted this so I could stop changing batteries during the middle of a shoot.KENNETH M : Fits my cameraMIKE H : Need it to power my Z6GERARD L : Needed accessory power to a Nikon Z7 in photography session.EMERSON B : Need for continuous filming as a web camera (will be used in my D850 and D800).ED W : I'm using a Nikon Z6 for video streaming, and the battery only lasts so long before you have to swap out a new battery which interrupts the stream. The USB port does not charge while video streaming. Maybe this has been resolved with the Z6II, but for now, this will do the trick.CHARLES G : power supply for deep sky photography in cold conditionsJohn M : Z-7 time-lapse moviesJOHN E : Need power supply connector for remote power of Z7.LOUIS P : I chose this because I intend to use this as a more advanced streaming camera to add that extra umph, and quality to my streams.KEMPTON H : Because my battery draIns too quickly.Marina G : for time lapseCARL S : Need to power camera during live streaming.TIMOTHY H : To allow me to plug in for time lapse photosHERBERT S : I use external power when shooting camera remotely through wi-fi.IRA W : To power Z6 for video shoots and time lapse photographyGREG L : needed itGENE H : required for Nikon D 810ERIC M : I use my camera in a studio, and this more convenient than charging batteries.JEFFREY R : Because it fits my camera.PAUL A : I do a lot of indoor shooting, and this connector (along with the EP-5 AC Adapter) gives me that flexibility for those long shooting sessions.

Good product if you need power

Hate that we simply cannot plug in the power directly into camera like we were able to before, but these "fake" batteries work great and do what they say they're going to do. We learned using Z6ii's that you cannot use aftermarket and it must be a Nikon product, with that said, these do work great and all my Z6ii bodies are still functioning properly.

Power connector designed to work with lots of Nikon models!

If you need it you need it. I've been using mine since my D800. Also used in my D810, D850, and now my Z cameras! This is also compatible with many more Nikon cameras. Check their website. Works great. Nice of Nikon to make something compatible with multiple generations for a change!

It works as intended

It works 5*. Make sure you double check it's compatible with your camera, and Don't forget to buy the AC Adapter if you need it too (Nikon EH-5d)

Excellent Genuine Nikon Hardware

Works as advertised on the Z6 and Z7 II. I had previously used a random adapter from Amazon for my Z6. It was working very well there, but it would not power on the Z7 II. The Z7 II reported that it will only work with genuine Nikon adapters or batteries.

Does the Job

See my review of the EH-5d - you need both if you're going to power your Z camera from AC for a lengthy shoot, such as interval shooting

Just tried this with my Z 6 and I get a battery not compatible message. It works with the D 600 but not with the new Z 6.

A must accessory

I purchased a less expensive battery adapter and it was a total failure. This adapter, used with the Nikon EH-5C AC Adapter, exceeded my expectations. Highly recommend.

Power supply connector

I have received the Power Supply Connector. It looks nice and in good shape. I am unable to use it as the Power Supply that I ordered with it is still on Back Order since May 2nd. I won't know if it works until I get the other part. I'm running out of patience Waiting. No good review until I get the other parts. then I'll let everyone know.

EP-5B Power Connector

$ is WAY too much money for this simple piece of molded plastic and power cable. To separately power a D850 you have no choice but to use this -- along with the EH-5C AC-DC Power Supply. I only give it two stars because the entire "system" is annoying, "kludgey," and seems like an "Oops! We forgot to make the D850 be powered separately" afterthought design. (Just my personal opinion, for whatever it is worth. Your own opinion may vary.) Some other Nikon's (such as the older D700 and D300s) had a circular connector on the body in which to plug an AC-DC Power Supply, a much more convenient connection method.

Lightweight and Functional

When I first received this power supply connector I was surprised at how light it was. It feels as though it weighs half of a normal EN EL15 battery which is nice considering the power adapter weighs quite a bit. I plan on using this with my Nikon D810 and an Omnicharge Pro battery pack I pre-ordered off of Indiegogo to shoot Milky Way time lapses. It wouldn't be possible without this essential piece. I imagine this would also come in handy for anyone who shoots in a studio with access to a wall outlet provided you have the associated power adapter. It would also be great for shooting videos for long periods indoors. Overall I highly recommend this for anyone who doesn't want to have to constantly switch out batteries over long shooting periods if you have AC power available.

The absolutely huge paper manual, although very thorough, is difficult to carry around. I wish the manual was available to download or was online.

D800 power connector

I use this with the AC adapter in Take Your Own Photo Booths at weddings and events. I use a remote radio trigger and lights and power the camera for five hours at a time. Used to use a D700 with the same arrangement.

EP-5b also needed is an EH-5A ti supply

Design is not he best, the AC adapter should plug directly into camera like the D300. This adapter goes in battery slot and hangs out bottom while in use, rubber grommet in bottom of D7000 allows wire to come out, but still not great design. A side plug would be more ideal. It works if you have the power brick.

Did not work with my Nikon D800

Don't know why this product would not work with my D800. The EH-5 was not the problem and I tested it on my voltage meter.

By CHRISTOPHER G.

Avoids running out of juice during long sessions

By Shlomo N.

Works well; good for multiple long exposure night photos.

When powering your Nikon digital cameras for extended periods, the Nikon EP-5B Power Supply Connector is an indispensable accessory. Designed to facilitate the use of the EH-5A AC Adapter with the Nikon D7000 and P7700 digital cameras, as well as the EH-5B AC Adapter with the Nikon V1 mirrorless camera, this connector ensures your photography sessions can continue without interruption due to battery life constraints.

The EP-5B Power Supply Connector is engineered to fit seamlessly into the camera's battery chamber, providing a reliable power source for long-duration shoots, time-lapse photography, or when downloading images to a computer. While the design allows for the power cable to exit through a designated rubber grommet on compatible models like the D7000, some users may find the external placement less than ideal compared to a direct side plug-in option. However, it remains a functional solution for photographers who require a stable and continuous power supply.

Please note that while the EP-5B is compatible with a range of Nikon cameras, it is essential to check your camera's model for compatibility, as some users have reported issues with newer models such as the Z 6. Additionally, the comprehensive paper manual provides detailed instructions, though some users may prefer a digital version for convenience.

In summary, the Nikon EP-5B Power Supply Connector is a critical component for photographers who need to bypass battery limitations and is specifically tailored for use with select Nikon cameras. Its design ensures that you can keep shooting without the need to swap out batteries, making it a practical tool for studio work, video recording, and other power-intensive photographic activities.
