That's where the Coco II-dvl by Bebob helps! Coco is an HDV/MiniDV camcorder adapter for supplyingpower to camera equipment practically and flexibly!
Like the well-known and successful Coco,Coco II-dvl, however, is a 8.4/12V voltage converter forattaching two batteries to power both the camera and accessories (single version Coco I DVL availabelhere).
