Charging
Battery Grip supports charging with USB-C power adapter with
Power Delivery protocol. When charging with USB-A port adapter,
please use an additional USB-A to USB-C cable. The USB adapter is
easy to nd, such as those used by cell phones or smart devices.
Note: Ensure the USB adapter supports one or more of the following
output specications.
Voltage Maximum Current
5V 3A
9V 3A
12V 1.5A
15V 1.2A
20V 1A
When the output of the USB adapter is lower than 5V 3A, the
charging time may be extended.

Note: Battery Grip can be charged while discharging, but a 9V3A or
15V/1.2A USB adapter is required to ensure sufcient power supply.
Mount to Camera Bottom
Glidecam Light-Force Battery Grip can be installed on a wide range
of cameras by simply replacing the mounting plate and dummy
battery. Visit glidecam.com/batterygrip for more information.
Panasonic GH6
The mounting plate for the GH6 has additional anti-deection locating
pins in front of the 1/4 screw. Before installing Battery Grip, install the
BLK22 Dummy Battery in the camera , and pass the cable through the
cord hole on the battery door. Then lock the battery door. Once the
Dummy Battery is installed, mount the Battery Grip on the bottom of
the GH6. Next, plug the USB-C connector of the Dummy Battery into
either of the two USB-C ports of the Battery Grip.
Once Battery Grip’s USB-C port is plugged into the cable, you can turn
on GH6. Battery Grip’s LED indicators will ash to show the remaining
battery capacity.

Mount to Camera Bottom CONT.
Canon R5/R5c/R6
Versions for the Canon R5/R5c/R6 include a pre-installed locating pin
on the left front of the Battery Grip that matches the locating hole on
the bottom of the camera. The locating pin works with the 1/4 screw to
prevent the rotation. Before installing the Battery Grip, install the LP-E6
Dummy Battery into the camera, and pass the cable through the cord
hole near the battery compartment cover. Then lock the compartment
cover. Once the Dummy Battery is installed, mount the Battery Grip
on the bottom of the camera. Next, plug the USB-C connector of the
Dummy Battery into either of the two USB-C ports of the Battery Grip.
Once Battery Grip’s USB-C port is plugged into the cable, you can
turn on camera. Battery Grip’s LED indicators will ash to show the
remaining battery capacity.
Powered by USB-C cable
directly
Battery Grip also supports powering directly to the camera’s USB-C
port using a USB-C cable. In addition, Battery Grip can also power
other devices such as Atomos Zato Connect or microphones, or
wireless transmitters.
The LED indicator shows charging conditions as follows:
Power level LED1 LED2 LED3 LED4
99-75% On On On On
75-50% On On On Off
50-25% On On Off Off
25-10% On Off Off Off
Less than 10% Blinking Off Off Off
Note
1. When using the camera’s USB-C port for power supply, the
camera’s battery compartment must have a battery installed. In
addition, the camera battery will be charged when the camera’s
USB-C port supplies power. Therefore, it is strictly prohibited to use
the Dummy Battery and the USB-C port to deliver power at the same
time.
2. Dummy Battery’s built-in system stabilizes the voltage at 8.4V,
so the camera cannot detect Battery Grip’s battery capacity by
measuring the battery voltage. Instead, please check the LED
indicator of the Battery Grip to know the remaining battery capacity.
3. When Battery Grip’s two USB-C ports are powered simultaneously,
both USB-C ports have a maximum output voltage of 9V. In
comparison, the single port can output up to 20V depending on the
device being powered.
4. When the Battery Grip is accidentally short-circuited, it will enter
protection mode. In this case, the Battery Grip can be restarted using
a USB-C cable connected to a USB adapter and charging for a few
seconds.
5. Even when the camera on/off switch is set to OFF thus turning
the camera off, it consumes power. Therefore, disconnect Battery
Grip from all connections when not in use to avoid further power
consumption.

Safety Instructions
Using Glidecam Light-Force Battery Grip Safely:
█Always make sure that your Battery Grip is
mounted securely and is unable to fall onto anyone
nearby. This is especially important when there are
children present who might be tempted to pull on
cables.
█Always ensure that cables that run to Battery Grip
are clearly visible and do not present a trip hazard.
█Do not expose to strong electrical or magnetic
elds.
█Do not dismantle, crush, puncture and short
circuit Battery Grip, or expose it to liquids, re or
environments where the temperature is above 60°C
(140°F).
█Do not dispose of Battery Grip in municipal
waste and do not incinerate it, always follow local
regulations for safe disposal.
█When Battery Grip is malfunctioning, it is
forbidden to open it for repair without permission.
█Do not let the electrodes of the Dummy Battery
connected to the Battery Grip come into contact
with metal or conductive liquids. Failure to do so
may result in a short circuit.
