New SmallHD LP-E6 Power Options Might Be a Great Universal Solution For Many Products

You sure about this? That monitor can accept a wide range of power. Not true for other devices. I think those adapters are just pass thru. They might be delivering 12v into a battery port designed for 3.2v. If that’s the case, shoving that into a camera will fry it.
I wasn’t implying a camera but other devices that use LP-E6 battery.The D-Tap model output is 6.4v 2.5A DC (regulated)
