Thanks!

It's supposed to work buy I've never tried it. The problem is that it's too slow in any case. the GMP charger charges two batteries in 4 hours. Each battery gives about 4-5 hours of camera (recording continuously in stops/starts) life. I bought 3 batteries and one charger.

I recommend the GMP charger. I've finished shooting my movie, under rough conditions. Both batteries and charger performed admirably. i just hope the company gives good customer support in the future, cause that's the only thing lacking from GMP.
All the best!

The standard battery is the only thing that lets down this camera!! I'm struggling to find a reasonable priced plate.
Hawk woods dont sell them anymore.
