can you access the battery door on a Lumix G6?

I don't own the cage anymore, but it didn't fit the battery door of the GH3 so my assumption is that it won't fit the smaller form factor of the G6.

I would say a big no. I believe the battery compartment is directly in the middle flush with the bottom. Not sure why they put it there..I own a Gh3 and it worked fine. I think you will be hard pressed to find a cage for it.

I would say that the battery door on any DSLR cannot be accessed using the CXS-500.

I did more research since I first posted an answer to this question. The new G6 has an external mic socket on the front of the camera on the left side. Here is the link to the users manual. http://service.us.panasonic.com/OPERMANPDF/DMCG6K.PDF

Unfortunately you do need to unscrew the case to access the battery or memory card. But its not much of a hassle, just keep an eye on the battery meter.

I just personally had to address this issue with my GH4. You will have to saw around the battery opening with a metal saw (surprisingly soft metal) to make battery accessible, and even then, the Back lcd screen couldn't swivel properly. So, no, it won't work that way. BUT, by unscrewing the cage apart and only keeping the bottom baseplate with follow-focus rails, it makes a better baseplate for the GH4 with YAGH interface attached, since that camera unit needs a substantial baseplate to sit on. An Edelkrone follow focus will fit into that quite well and be high enough to contact lenn's gear belt. I didn't mind di-assembling the cage because it was such a piece of crap regarding overall design (I wrote a lengthy review on it over a year of use). Hope this helps.

There is a battery door on the bottom. You need a screwdriver to take the screw out first.

The other response is correct. There is a door on the back. Open it and insert the batteries.

There's a little white indented button on the back right near the battery door. Stick a pen or paper clip in it.

Connie, I'm honestly not sure. We tried to pry it open, because you can see a battery in there. I suppose you can change it- if you can get to it! Seems impossible to open.

Battery doors are in bottom. There are 2, one set on each side. There is push clip on front side of door,,,just push it toward middle, while pulling up simultaneously. Just a fingernail in slot should do it easily. Mine were so loose, I have to put scotch tape over the retaining clip on the door, or the batteries fall out while in use.

My camera is an elph110hs, & no you do not need to remove the white sticker. With the battery door on top & to the right, the "dc44" should be viewable & right side up. Battery should slide in & the battery keeper ( lower right corner) should snap over the battery. The door then flips back down & slides back into place.

Sorry about the delay but have been out of country. I tried opening the spotlight by removing all the screws but no access to the battery. Evidently it is only by unscrewing the lens can you access it. So probably best to ask them. Their customer service was very good about replying about my request for info about the batteries. I had no problem with going through airport screening in US, UK, Hong Kong, South Africa. The spotlight was great--people were asking about it--and was much brighter than those supplied by the game drives. Long lasting. I wouldn't be concerned about replacing the batteries. No problem recharging on 240v--just have an adapter. Sorry about the delay but have been out of country. I tried opening the spotlight by removing all the screws but no access to the battery.

You have to take the battery door off of the camera. It's quite easy to do.

The Panasonic GH4 can be mounted on this but the battery will not be accessible while mounted.

Remove the battery door(cover)The sd card slot is just to the left of the lower camera lens.

Yes or you can use 6 x AA batteries, but I've found that I go through a lot of them, the Canon LP-E6 last a lot longer, but you need two in the grip.

To gain access to the battery compartment, you must first separate the unit from its wall mount bracket by sliding it toward the open end of the bracket. I suppose you've tried this already, but it's really difficult the first time and much force is required. I finally succeeded by working my fingers under the rim of the bracket and pulling it directly away as if prying off a bottle cap. Once separated, it slides on and off easily.

the battery door detaches and there is a slot on the grip to put it so you don't loose it. the slot is on the section that gets inserted into the camera.in the picture here it is the right where the slot is on the vertical part.
