Thanks man!!!, always wondered if this was possible, right now I'm just finished this mod and works perfect in my 1VHS. Not so sure about what's the point in this but it sure feels great to operate the camera with the coupler....
The "Battery Cover Unit" that goes on the end of the BM-E2 or NP-E2 is Canon Part number CG4-0117-000. It doesn't seem to be available separately, at least not from Canon.
Am I correct that the Canon DC Coupler DC-E1 (2:57) has no battery inside? And the Canon PA-V16 (AC Adapter) is required & connected to DC-E1, right to work?
@Jeremy, now you should mod it so you do not need to use AC power. Because needing AC power requirement means you are tethered in the studio. That was why there are three options & selections from ATG and Canon's.
How to check if you are in ATG's 10fps mode: * Install 8AA Energizer Lithium Batteries onto the battery magazine * Turn on camera * Press both Two Round Blue Ring Buttons while turning the Finger's Dial * Do you get S, L, H, 2, 10? Then the camera IS NOT in ATG's HSS (high super speed).
ATG wasn't happy with the way Canon marketed this model & not telling the whole truth, unless your read prints. First off, the camera (either the 1V or 1VHS) can't shoot up to 10fps out of the box. Just like today, Profoto scams by posting and selling their Profoto B1X saying it can shoot TTL. Not out of box. To test is it can do ATG's 10fps: * Place 8AA into battery magazine (1:52) based with Power Booster PB-E-2 or EOS-1VHS * Turn on camera * Press the two Blue Buttons (DRIVE) down at the same time * Turn dial wheel * Most likely you can only see/get three speed modes (S=1, L=3, H=6) * No way every to get into ATG's HS (10fps high speed) Canon got many fooled by making them buy the NC-E2 and NP-E2 (about $500 at that time) to get ATG's) That was the main reason that ATG made one that can shoot & have the mode setup to 10fps without $500. With just 8AA Energizer Lithium Batteries (these are NOT rechargeable). But that got Canon upset. Then later ATG made other version that can be operated wirelessly for the Olympic and extreme photographers.
@Jeremy, just press the Two Blue Buttons (top left) and turn the dial wheel. Takes less than 5 seconds to find out if yours can shoot 10fps. I have the original/rare ATG Canon EOS-1VHSr as well as the mod by ATG, Canon EOS-1VHS. Both cameras can shoot wirelessly & less weight because they have portable external ATG's Gold Battery Pack. At that time, Canon sells two versions: 1. Canon EOS-1V (body only) 2. Canon EOS-1VHS (comes with motor drive) For elite photographers, ATG/Canon has ATG Canon EOS-1VHSr * ATG's titanium camera body & motor drive * ATG's wireless radio camera shutter & ETTL II flash trigger * ATG's extreme weather sealed * ATG Gold Battery Pack for extreme weathers * S, H, HS- 10fps without needing special battery pack
The ATG Canon EOS-1VHSr and Canon EOS-1VHS actually have seven speed shooting modes. 1. ATG HS 2. HS (only with Canon Ni-Mh battery) 3. H 4. L 5. S 6. Two second 7. Ten second Have those flexibility it was better than using the Nikon F-5. You can always remove the motor drive (Power Booster) whereas the can't remove on the F-5, to reduce weights. Today reviewers are all lost about ATG. They usually think ATG doesn't exist.

Yes. It's an AC to DC coupler. No battery.
ATG's staff said to me that you are safe in doing this mod.
@Jeremy, now you should mod it so you do not need to use AC power.
Because needing AC power requirement means you are tethered in the studio.

Jeremy, able to get 10fps with the mod?
Probably, I will have to check to be sure.

Oh that camera sounds fabulous! Do you have any photos of it to post? I will check mine later today for frame speed.
I posted another video of the frames per second. I think you are right about the three modes.
Try to get it to do 10fps with 8AA or without needing AC power.
Because with AC power requirement, you can't go out in the fields.
The ATG Canon EOS-1VHSr and Canon EOS-1VHS actually have seven speed shooting modes.
1. ATG HS
2. HS (only with Canon Ni-Mh battery)
3. H
4. L
