Remote batteries for cold weather in Antarctica

[wm700293]

Looking for a way to remote the camera battery into my clothing (under an arm) to keep it/them warm for prolonged cold weather shooting. Is there a product available? (Either Canon or 3rd party)

What camera?

Maybe you're looking at this the wrong way.  Maybe you should regard the harsh environment as being no different than being in the "harsh environment" of being underwater. 

I think you might be better off with an environmental enclosure to keep out the cold, just as one would use an environmental enclosure to keep out the water for underwater photography.

That's an interesting idea, expensive but interesting. Of course the camera will get cold inside the enclosure eventually...

I am really looking for a way to make use of body heat if possible.

5D4 by the time I actually get to Antarctica.

The Vello BG-C9 battery grip has a tray for AA batteries, you might be able to wire an outside battery holder to it without mucking about with the camera.

This one might fit the bill?

Diverhank...

This looks exactly like the picture I had in my head, either of these appear to meet my need to some degree. Especially the

Lamparte E6 Portable battery With LP-E6 Adapter (if this is the battery type the camera in question uses).

Thank you so much for this suggestion. I will investigate further...

And the reviewer of that device who speculated that the 5D3 has a way to feed the wire through without filing is correct. Presumably the 5D4 will be the same in that respect.

I looked at it and thought, "Oh, neat.  But, can the battery door close with a wire hanging out of it?"  The door must fully close.
