guyeye Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 Where on earth can I find an ac adapter for the a7r3? The way I use my camera in the studio usually involves multiple cameras into a switchable usb hub into one computer. USB powering is flaky at best and unusable at worst when switching from camera to camera. My cameras stay on all day. Anybody have a solution to this (admittedly niche) problem?

holmes4 Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 Get any USB-C power adapter (not a USB-A to USB-C cable). You can use the USB-C port for powering and the MicroUSB port for connectivity. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
guyeye Posted April 2, 2018 Author Share Posted April 2, 2018 Nope- everything gets confused (unless I've got the settings wrong) USB Connection: PC REMOTE USB LUN Settings: MULTI USB Power: ON Fire up Capture One Connect USB 2 Cable to computer: Appears to connect with capture one, but no live view and no shutter. No actual control at all. Disconnect USB 2 Cable. Restart Capture One. Set camera to USB Power: OFF Connect USB 2 Cable to computer: All Functions work perfectly, but no charging (of course). Plug USB C Cable connected to USB C Power Supply, into camera: Choke! No control. Live view is lost. This is the worst. Anybody have any other insights? All I want is to power the camera while tethered and have all functions work. It would be extra nice if I could use my USB switcher to switch between camera on different sets. -you know, like I used to be able to do with my a7r2's with ac adapters! HELP!

Why not try something like the power output from a Watson Dual battery charger. It should power the camera and allow charging of 2 A9 batteries at the same time.
