Lynx Astro Dew controller w/ DSLR power port

[Pryce]

Hey yall! 

 

So I have the Lynx Astro Dewheater controller with DSLR power port and a dummy battery pack.

I'm just doing some benchtesting on all the new gear and the DSLR doesnt turn on.

The dewheater works, at least the lights turn on, but no reaction on the camera. I've tested with all 4 cameras, so I know it's not a camera issue. 

I tried detaching the dew heater straps, but still no reaction.

Am I doing something wrong or do I have a faulty dummy battery?

 

I am using the 17ah skywatcher batterypack.

I guess I should mention that I have the Lanparte E8 dummy battery and the Lynx Astro dummy battery cable - Laparte fit

You need to push the battery all the way in and close the battery compartment door. There is a very little rubber flap next to it that will let the lead of the dummy battery through.

Such a small detail was my downfall
