Overview

 

 

The Sony DK-415 is a genuine DC coupler (dummy battery) that replaces the standard NP-F battery in compatible Sony camcorders.

When paired with a compatible AC adapter (such as the Sony AC-V515, AC-V500, or similar models with DC OUT), it allows your camera to operate directly from mains power, eliminating battery drain entirely.

 

Perfect for studio environments, capture stations, long interview sessions, archival transfers, or any locked-off filming scenario where maximum runtime is required.
