If you run a power cord from that socket to a waist-mounted battery pack, wire tied to the Video cable, the NP-F550's 'run time' is completely irrelevant; you could augment that run time or just run the Glasstron off the waist battery pack, without a battery hurting your neck. (Not that NP-F950'sare that heavy...) This does look more like it than earlier machines! Mark -- I re-ship for small US & overseas businesses, world-wide.
