Uninterruptible Power for Your Camera

With ONsite Relay A, you’ll never run out of power and never need to stress about forgetting your camera batteries. If you’re shooting and get low on battery power, simply swap out external batteries throughout your shoot. ONsite Relay A’s internal UPS battery will keep your camera powered while you exchange external batteries. Utilizing a wall outlet or external batteries, you could in theory shoot forever with consistent power flowing to your camera through ONsite Relay A.

How does it work?

Simply insert the Relay Camera Coupler directly into the camera battery port, attach it to the ONsite Relay A Camera Power System and power your camera with any 5V 2.1A USB battery pack or an AC power source using a USB wall adapter. Because Relay also has its own secondary internal 1200 mAh battery, if your external battery runs low you can easily hot swap the external battery and not lose power to the camera.

ONsite Relay A is compatible currently with many Canon, Nikon, Sony, Panasonic, Fujifilm, Olympus, and Black Magic cameras and can be powered by any 5V USB power bank any 2.1+A USB Wall Adapter or any Dtap (VMount) battery system.  It can also power any monitors and accessories that use the Sony NPFL Series batteries.

Key Features:

  • The ONsite Relay A Camera Power System contains a 1,200 mAh battery, smaller than a traditional camera battery but enough power so you can swap out power sources mid-shoot and maintain 100% uptime.
  • The ONsite Relay A Coupler is designed to replace your camera battery and is not considered an after-market battery, just containing wiring. The Coupler cabling runs out the rubber trap door on your camera battery compartment or battery grip, and connects to the ONsite Relay A Camera Power System unit.

ONsite Relay A Camera Power System (CPS) lets you power your camera continually with an external battery pack or wall power (sold separately), providing peace of mind knowing you have an uninterrupted power source for your camera.

“We do Dog Show Event photography. The ONsite Relay A attached to the 10000mh battery powers the D750 that is tethered to our laptop. Before I got it we would go thru about 5 or 6 Nikon batteries in a day long assignment.
– B. Kurtis, Tether Tools Customer

“It’s perfect to power my second Sony A7S II camera during weddings. Because I’m not with eyes on the camera most of the time, it allows me to connect any power pack. The most important thing is to allow swapping power banks without loss of power and corrupted files.”
