Panasonic camcorder

[Buckman]

Just picked up a Panasonic HC-V550 camcorder. Am finding out a spare battery isn't cheap, what power pak would you guys recommend. Want to use this in Colorado this year and will need to charge the battery at least a couple times. Thanks

Heh, I just picked one up here recently too. Since it does run via external power even if the battery is removed, you can us a backup battery as a power source. I plan to use a Goal Zero Guide 10 pack as a backup. Not only can I recharge it via a solar panel, if that isn't working, I can just pop in some AA batteries and use that to power the camera.
