PEGASUS ASTRO DSLR Buddy v2 Power Supply and Dummy Battery Controller

Quick Installation Guide for DSLR Buddy v2

DSLR Buddy v2 is a compact device designed to provide constant power to your DSLR or mirrorless camera. It accepts DC input voltage levels from 3V to 14V and regulates the DSLR Output to DC 8V. Input power can be inserted into the USB-C socket or into 2.1mm socket.
NOTICE
IF YOU SIMULTANEOUSLY CONNECT TWO POWER SOURCES (USB-5V & DC 12V) DEVICE WILL SELECT THE HIGHER VOLTAGE SOURCE (12V)
Moreover, the device can heat on a dew strip by varying the duty cycle of the DC voltage (PWM duty cycle % control). It is the perfect buddy for your DSLR or mirrorless camera in the mountains or in any astrophotography field.

  • Plug the dummy battery in your camera and into the “DSLR Out” socket of the DSLR Buddy.
  • Connect DC 3 – 14 Volt power supply or car cigarette adapter cable in the “DC IN” socket of your DSLR buddy (12V DC preferred)
  • During startup of your camera, you might see the screen below: Just select “OK” and the camera will work as usual.
  • Plug your Dew Heater to the “Dew Heater” output of the DSLR Buddy.
  • DSL Buddy has a built in Pulse Width Modulation duty cycle control output for a Dew Heater or Flat Panel. Turn the knob on the side of the device to adjust the power of the Dew Heater output.
  • A red light (PWM duty cycle indicator) adjusts its brightness when you turn the knob from min to max
