Post author@T2 - There's literally hundreds of external power solutions that have been around for years powering up Canon DSLR cameras. Think about all the V-Mount battery adapters, etc. I've also had my share of OEM batteries eventually fail on me too.
I just recently went through (4) brand new GoPro HERO4 cameras because of hardware failures, and nothing was aftermarket. So while we can say direct from the Manufacturer is Best', $H!t happens I guess.
I don't see an issue, but the GH4 camera pretty much runs all day without an external so if you're paranoid it would be better you don't use one.

How susceptible do you think the Varavon external battery solution (or any third-party external solution) could be to this type of failure?

Post author@T2 - I never had to call them or email them. Maybe you can check your Spam inbox?

Emm - Have you ever had any dealings with Varavon customer support? If so, how was it? I've sent emails and made calls with zero response.

I don't see how the battery door would lock with that cable attached? How does that work?

@Emm Thanks! :/

Post author@David - Sorry, once the GH4 is in a cage, I don't know of any way to mount up an LCD Viewfinder. Typically with a cage you would add a monitor or maybe an EVF.

Hello Emm!
Do you know about any solution if I would like to use a viewfinder with my Varavon GH4 Armor Cage? Could you please share? I'm sure I'm not the only one looking for this answer. Thank you in advance! David

Post author@ignacio - Not sure why, but you can just go to the Varavon website.
