How to power a Nikon D5200 through an external power cord, rather than batteries?

I do long term, event shooting on my camera crane, problem is I always find my Nikon dying. I've tried battery grips, but yet I still find my Nikon to die on me. Is there some kind of converter, or hardware I can buy to power the camera through an external cord? I was thinking perhaps there's like a battery grip with a power connector, or something of that nature, yet I have still not found one.

Your thoughts?

Nikon makes one. But it is expensive. You need both the EP-5A camera adapter, which replaces your battery (that little rubber flap on the side of your battery case is where the cable goes, and the EH-5B AC adapter.

But at over $100, it isn't cheap. You can also find a 3rd market lower cost version (under $40), but I have not tried it so I can't tell you how well it will work.
