1DX Mark II power from AC instead of battery

[3dmaxer]

Hi,

I have been trying to find a way to power the camera using AC instead of using the battery.  I found other suppliers that appear to have products to do this, but the reviews seem to indicate that they don't work.

Does Canon make such a product for this camera?

Thank you

Canon sells AC adapter AC-E19 and DC coupler DR-E19 which allow the 1DX II to be AC powered, the older ACK-E4 will also work with the 1DX II. 

The AC-E19 and DR-E19 are still the recommended set for the 1DX III which has slightly higher peak current demand than the older 1 series bodies but the ACK-E4 will work fine with your Mark II.  I have used one with mine.

Wow, not cheap, over $600, but it will do what I need.

Thanks Roger.

You are welcome!  Take a look for the older ACK-E4, it will work fine.  I found one shortly after I bought my 1DX II.

Not cheap is right!  When I wanted one I checked the used camera market.  I found a 1Ds3 in good condition, which came with all of the original accessories, including the AC power adapter Roger cited above.  Price?  $700.
