geotrupede Posted March 8, 2024 Share #1 Posted March 8, 2024 Advertisement (gone after registration) can this be used on the original SL? it would give USB change and make it suitable for long video takes... has anyone tried it in the SL?

Advertisement Posted March 8, 2024 Posted March 8, 2024 Hi geotrupede, Take a look here Leica DC-SCL6 USB-C DC-Coupler. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
LocalHero1953 Posted March 8, 2024 Share #2 Posted March 8, 2024 Isn’t the original SL limited to 30 mins video? Like all cameras then that weren’t dedicated video cameras. IIRC the SL2-S was the first not to be limited, and the SL2 followed with a firmware update. But my memory could be faulty. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The SL is extremely limited if you record internally(8 bit only) but you can go as long as the battery lasts with an HDMI recorder 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
geotrupede Posted March 9, 2024 Author Share #4 Posted March 9, 2024 hi all, so can it be used or not? I had an sl and greatly enjoyed it, used as webcam and was always swapping batteries which greatly annoyed me. with this option would have been great at the time a similar solution was available for the S series but not SL so is this new dummy battery working in SL1 ? anyone that knows or can try?

MediaFotografie Posted March 9, 2024 Share #5 Posted March 9, 2024 Leica‘s website says only SL2/s and SL3, but as I understand this new tool works like a endless battery -so it should work with 601 also; you can ask the customer support or just try it 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

papydaniel65 Posted March 24, 2024 Share #9 Posted March 24, 2024 Good morning, has anyone tested it with the q3? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
loalposo Posted April 18, 2024 Share #10 Posted April 18, 2024 Hi. I can confirm the coupler works with the Q3. Tried with both battery bank and Leica AC adapter. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tshoang1 Posted March 10 Share #11 Posted March 10 i have a DC-SCL6 dummy battery for my SL2 and the power will work with a wall converter with USB-C output (to usb-c female) on the dummy battery. It does not work w/ my Anker PD power bank though. If i connect thru the USB-C input of the camera with a real battery in the camera and the PD power bank will provide power and charge the battery. (note you have to connect the usb-c first) before turning on the camera..... I have another solution where i use by Makita 18V battery going thru a step-down converter to produce 12V and use a Kondor Blue power plug male to USBC output (9V regulated). AND that works for both the USBC port as well as the dummy battery for the SL2. stepdown converter: https://tinyurl.com/47kv62bj plug to usbc https://tinyurl.com/2wuwzcts connector for 18V makita battery: https://tinyurl.com/hfca5w6h Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So this is the DIY version of the coupler ! nice 👍 Do you experience any draining of the internal Battery first? Or does the conversion get rot of this.
