I just got the Kumba Cam advanced Kit. May be a dumb question but how do i charge the two batteries it came with. Do I need to buy a separate charger?

You need to get a charger. I didn't use the battery's I ran the wires straight to my phantoms power source

Hello Neil, you could use the wires coming from the phantom for you transmitter power supply instead of using the battery, cuz it will add weight on ur phantom , you can find it on YouTube on how to do it, but if you still want to use the batteries then u can buy a charger for that from any hobby center or shop. Hope that answered your question :)

Hey Neil, You need a balancing charger like the Common Sense RC 6 s balancing charger. I am sure there are cheaper chargers out there. I think I paid about 80 bucks for mine but I have multiple batteries of different sizes I charge with it.Do not let that be a deterrent in your decision to buy or not to buy the Kumba cam. I have used the heck out of mine and it works great. The best thing is even in super bright sunny conditions the picture is still really easy to see on the screen. The system works flawlessly every time. Hoe this helps.Barry

Yes if you do not have one from some other rc toy with the same leads. Buy a balance charger for around fifty bucks

Yes.. You will need a lipo charger.. Preferably with the capability to balance the cells.

Yeah; they require you to purchase an inline charger which taps into the phantom battery or a wall charger which are both available on the kumba can website. A better option is to buy the pnp adapter and the phantom will automatically power & charge the gopro as well as FPV transmitter. You won't need the batteries anymore.

The camera comes with a charger. Just easily remove the battery from the camera, put it in the charger. A light on the charter turns green when fully charged.

AA -- Original answer. Revised answer - I should have said two AA batteries. Sorry for the poorly worded answer. Since purchasing the camera, I have invested in a battery charger and a set of rechargeable AA's, which will pay for themselves over time. The charger also works with AAA's which I use in other applications.

I have the VIXIA HF M50 and the method to charge the battery is to plug the charging cable into the camcorder and it charges the battery. It did not come with an external battery charger but there is no need for one unless you get a spare battery and even then you can charge the batteries in the camcorder when it is in use.

I use rechargeable AA batteries. ..I picked up whatever was cheap at the local store.They work just fine...if you keep four in the camera and four charging, you'll never run out!

Yes, this is a complete kit you just have to unpack, put batteries in the controller and charge the included battery that comes with the kit. The battery is quite good, but you should plan to get an upgraded charger, because the one that comes with the kit takes a long time, like 14 hours, to charge the included battery. However, an upgraded charger will only take a couple hours (if that) and is as low as $50 to $80, so it's a good thing to buy.

You charge the battery in the camera.....memory stick does NOT come in the box.....must purchase separately....either DUO or PRO

it comes with charger that plugs into camera, if you want to charge battery separately, you have to order one. Amazon has several, some with extra battery.

Camera did come with a battery and AC adapter/charger. I was concerned about that too, so I called Panasonic and they said it does come with charger and battery. However, you can't charge the battery outside the camera. The ac adapter charges the battery when pluged into ac and the camera is on standby. I was concerned about battery life so I bought additional batteries and a charger from Amazon (Mfg.-Wasabi). So far the camera is working ok, but there is a learning curve how to use all the features. I haven't had a chance to use it too often as yet, but it does take good video.

I bought a third party accessory kit from a seller here on Amazon shortly after purchasing the Q (I think it was around $20?). It included two extra batteries, a charger (with car adapter) and some other accessories, and the two batteries included in that kit are fantastic. They work just as well as the Pentax brand battery. And you can charge the Pentax battery in the 3rd party charger, which I found particularly useful as the original charging station has a crazy long cord and gets in the way. I'd definitely recommend picking up extra batteries for the Q--as much as I love this camera, she goes through a battery really quickly!!

I see the two answers here say that the camera comes with a battery charger. Mine did not, nor was it listed as something that it was supposed to come with. It did come with a battery, and an AC adapter to charge the battery directly through the camera. I purchased two "Wasabi Power Battery (2 Pack) and Charger for Sony NP-BX1 and Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX1, DSC-RX100, HDR-AS10, HDR-AS15" for $18.99 each, giving me five batteries total, and two battery chargers. I can't possibly take that many pictures in one day, the batteries work as good as the Sony one, and I now can charge the batteries outside of the camera, which has to save wear and tear on it.

Linda,The camera comes with several ways to charge the battery. There is an AC adapter that plugs into the wall, and then into the camera, and that charges the battery. You can also charge the battery by connecting the camera via USB cable to a computer. So you can either charge the battery from a wall outlet, or by connecting to the computer. There is not a separate charger in the sense that you can not take the battery out of the camera and charge it separately, you charge it with it connected to the camera. Hope this helps!Paul

The kit has an external battery charger...so you can charge one battery inside the camera with the camera charger and the extra one with the external charger

It comes with one battery and an external charger (that's standard from canon), but if you shoot video or spend a lot of time away from power (such as a sporting event), I've found it's wise to invest in 2 more batteries and another charger. Wasabi Power has a good one (on amazon), for only $20.

I bought extra batteries and a battery charger cheap on Ebay. My camera came with the dual purposecable and charger plug for the cable.

I use a Duracell charger. It charges all makes of AA and AAA batteries without any problem. The camera itself,however, is terrible as far as battery life and I'm sorry I bought it.
