The camera is pretty flexible in terms of input voltage. I've powered it from a 7 volt NP-F battery and from a 14.8 volt v mount. I *believe* you can put up to 18 volts to it but don't quote me.

Thank you Mark - this answers my question about the range of voltage in for the 6KFF

Now, where can I get one of the mini 12-volt connectors?
Is there a DigiKey part number for this?

I also do ham radio so have a lot of 12-volt power and distribution stuff already.
Want to do timelapse.

Many thanks - Dave
