When I did the test I posted above, I just grabbed one of my no-name USB backup batteries and connected it with a USB-A to USB-C cable. They cost me about $12 each, I have a half dozen of them. They're probably about 5000-6000 mAh capacity, but I don't recall ever seeing specs on them.Can anyone share what size portable battery being used to power your 907x 50c? 10,000 mAh or higher? Glad to hear that you can power the kit using an external battery and also charge the battery (in camera and the hub). Thank you for sharing.
That seems the Mk II version of the option I've mentioned above.I see in the CFVII 50c Power functions a check box for "Power from Computer USB" ... Perhaps having that checked will enable an external battery connected via USB to power the back with the internal battery removed? Curious, I tried it...
With the option checked, the camera will not power up without a battery installed and with an external battery connected. However, when an external battery is connected and a battery is installed, it powers up and next to the charge state a power icon is displayed. Unplug the external battery and the power icon disappears. Connect an external battery with the option turned off, and the power icon is not displayed: the Power icon ONLY appears if the option is checked "ON" and the external battery is connected when the back is powered on.
So: I believe this means two things.
A- The back utilizes the installed battery as part of its voltage regulation/power control so you have to have a battery installed for it to function; I bet it doesn't have to have much charge in it at all to operate as it ought to.
B- When you have an external battery connected at power up and the option is enabled, the back draws entirely from the external battery ... perhaps until the external battery is exhausted, at which point it will draw from the internal battery. This last is conjecture, of course.
Using an external battery is not as convenient as having a couple of the regular batteries to power the back with, but it seems that it is an option if that's what you want to do.
I powered the back off as I was writing this but left the external battery connected. A few seconds later, the power button started to flash in the charging sequence, so it's obvious that an external power supply attached with the back turned off allows the back to engage the charge circuit to charge up the internal battery.
I use ANKER POWER BANKs . 13000mAh and also have a 26000mAh .Can anyone share what size portable battery being used to power your 907x 50c? 10,000 mAh or higher?

There is nothing in the online manual which I just checked.Does the 907X have an integrated GPS? I was able to find some contradictory info about that floating around the web.
Likely, this is a copy & paste error from the X1D II, I suppose...
That's exactly my point! Since I have no XCD lens, I can't try it out IRL. I'd be curious if the GPS might be handled by the 907X body itself. The metadata is definitively not being written when working with the CFV II 50c exclusively.There is nothing in the online manual which I just checked.
If the hardware were built in and could be activated via firmware update, I‘d welcome it.That is fortunate for me, as I won’t miss it.
It is a great looking charger, indeed.Aesthetically the Hasselblad Hub charger is the nicest looking charger I ever clapped eyes on.
Design by Hasselblad, software and electronics by DJI, would be my guess.BTW, on the back of the Hasselblad dual charger, it says: "Manufactured by DJI."
Yes first thing I noticed was DJI as I have the La Cie/DJI CoPilot.......It is a great looking charger, indeed.

My intent in buying the Nitecore charger is simply to have a backup in case the Hasselblad charger failed or was somehow lost when traveling. I always like to have a backup charger for every camera or other device that I need to rely upon upon.It is a great looking charger, indeed.

I have the Nitecore charger as well but was never really happy with it.
I've had GPS tagging on my iPhone cameras and also with my Light L16. Had it on a couple other cameras too. The only one I use it with intentionally is the iPhone. If it's there, I don't mind, I just have no particular need for the data.Well OK I see your point. I have never had occasion to use GPS on my cameras before.
The Hasselblad X-remote is the same if I remember (I sold mine as part of a package with my 907x). I wouldn’t be surprised if all of the X-system accessories are manufactured by DJI from here on out.It is a great looking charger, indeed.

I also always carry a backup charger with me, except if the camera allows charging via USB-C. In that case, the camera becomes the backup charger .My intent in buying the Nitecore charger is simply to have a backup in case the Hasselblad charger failed or was somehow lost when traveling.

X-remote is also very beautiful. The idea is similar to the remote releases of the H cameras, but it is much nicer. It says: "Made in China".The Hasselblad X-remote is the same if I remember (I sold mine as part of a package with my 907x).

The dual charger is awesome, the remote was very nice too.
