Hello,

Can this item be loaded while I am shooting a video with a tripod at the same time?
Is the side port (right) for charging the camera? Because in the product description, the tripod mount is right next to the USB port, so using both should not be possible.

Thanks for your feedback!

Hi Tcshitsetsang,

it is possible to use the camera while it is powered via USB, but even then the battery cannot be charged. 
"Charge battery" is not available when USB power is on.

Answer

The HDMI socket is next to the connection for the tripod. The USB port for charging is on the right side of the camera.
