Hey, I want to buy monitor for my Canon R5C that consumes battery like crazy (4k 50fps - 18 minutes on one battery) so that I power my R5C with vmount battery connected by usb-c. So there is no another usb-c port left. The only way to connect it with monitor is via HDMI cable. My question is when I plug it via HDMI, do I have still options to control camera trough the monitor?

Got it for $95 on K&F site with your coupon code🙏🏽

I’d be concerned about long term durability

You should have way more subscribers, well done! Curious though, why not just use the Tascam DR10 L?

Do you edit via BLUETOOTH Headphones?

I basically only shoot in bright Kodak at this point 😭

This is so much cheaper! here in GB during black friday k&f is 115 and smallrig is 220 . literally two batteries for the price of one!

Unfortunately Amazon raised the Price to 159.00 and even on Black Friday deal right now it is 120.000. and the Newer Small Rig 99 are 149.00 looks like SmallRig it is for 29.00 extra,,, Bummer, This would be a no brainer if they did not raise the price of them only to bring the price back down to "normal" for Black Friday.

Ughhhhh….. 😣 Fine 😂. Favorite part of the video. I shoot Weddings and always wanted to go V-Mount. I have a few friends that shoot but never really sold me on using V-Mount because I have some many batteries by design to last the day of shooting. I might just grab 2 this time, between Camera/Monitor/My Lights &MacBook I see the convenience.

I bought a gimbal because I thought that's what I needed. Used it for a while, but now I'm all hand-held with cage/monitor/mic and loving it.

Ektar h35 magic happens after a year or 2, looking at old photos you took and you realize the super grain film look gives hyper-nostalgia which doesn't happen with digital.

Great review!

Dude, you're rambling on about too much non-applicable stuff. You're losing my attention!

This is a far better monitor than the shinobi ii. Great video though. I have had so many issues with Atomos products I just can’t go back to them haha.

The shinobi doesn’t record 😢, if you want to record 4k ninja is the answer

Just bought the k&f for $106 after discount

Perfect timing as I’m looking to buy my first v mount battery! May I ask which D Tap cord you use? I assume you use D Tap to USB-C to the camera?

K&F for the win ive bought a lot of their stuff!

Is it still shaky at 150 crop on a fluid head tripod

How do you have it attached without any rods below? I have a kondor blue cage and plate for the battery.

Nice review…I also have the smallrig 99wh 1st version and smallrig vmount adapter and never noticed and decided to test its “locking issues”. And you are kinda right, it feels sturdy but a decent enough push from the bottom keeps knocking it off but if I slap the battery hard enough as one of your reviewers suggested, it seems to stay locked in place. But I still find inconsistent locking even when I slap it in with significant force. So I decided to test with my fxlion vmount battery, and it to didn’t lock securely unless significant force is applied. I recently purchased the Neewer (knockoff) version and tested the same two batteries and they locked perfectly even without any force. So I suspect it’s the smallrig vmount adapter. I did notice a new Kondor blue vmount adapter product and their selling point is , no more vmount batteries easily knocking off.

mmmm cheap batteries , got to be a reason , to me thats like buying the cheapest parachute ..

I have the battery. This man is speaking the truth.

It’s an awesome time to be a creative. So many options with cameras and accessories. I’ve been using zgcine v mount batteries with the same smallrig v mount adapter set up you have. May have to try out one of these though! Great video!

i just bought 3 of the smallrig batteries for $80-$90 each....maybe i just had a lucky find?

I'd wait to see if it's really reliable. I'm seeing a lot of issues with v-mount rigs with fluctuating voltage shorting cameras and causing a whole host of problems with cameras needing new boards.

I loveeeee that smallrig plate, but I had the same issue with batteries coming loose. I thought I had a faulty unit, tried different locking mechanisms etc. That kf looks sweet though.

The reason I returned it was the dc port was unable to power my atomos ninja v+ bought the neewer one

thank you brother for reviewing this type of products for broke filmmakers like me haha

K&F and Smallrig are both good companies indeed. This one looks amazing. Never considered Smallrig batteries as I'm happy with the ZGCine, especially for 200W batteries. These look cool and might get one or two for being flight approved.

wtf my smallrig dont do that you are just another influncer trying to make people stupid

Got the K&F battery for a LUMIX S9 “cine” build, can confirm it’s amazing

Another KZbin moronic offering from someone who clearly knows nothing about batteries let alone pro batteries and just because he has invested in a professional wood panel background makes him feel he has things to say and share with a level of authority. Moronic. Dude sort out your lame autofocus.

I cant stop looking at the way the back-light is making your ear glow...not glow....glow...not glow. Super distracting. But hey...that's just me.

I'd like to see how these hold up over time. I've got IDX batteries from 15 years ago that are still going strong.

Oh wow thanks for the tip! I had no idea about that loose lock on the smallrig battery, definitely going to check out this KF one

I have the same issue with my small rig battery & small rig plate. It’s so annoying

How many V-mount plates and batteries have you tested (having the falling off when hitting it problem) ? Don't tell me just the single one in the video! ... We have many, and I mean _many_ SR V-mount plates and batteries in our kit and abuse them on a daily basis ... Never ever did one pop out - just saying. Don't get me wrong I am using gear from practically all companies on the market that fit our needs. I would be also very careful with "there is a general problem" kind of thing, if it might be one faulty unit. Over and out ... :-)

*I use Smallrig AND Neewer V Mounted Battery & the Neewer is $194.99 with 30% which made is $136 for a 99w but Both work Amazing I have the 50w for my Amaran 60D and My Other (2) for my Camera and separate battery banks lmao *

Id love to see this compared to the new v mounts from Neewer

I have the same problem as you. I found that to solve it, you need to snap the battery in place with more force and speed.

Not available in Australia.. RIP

Although I’ve had my 2 smallrig 99w batteries for over a year and used them on countless projects with no issues…this is making me want to try out these to add to the battery collection!

I wished you touched on the fact that the SmallRig cannot power multiple devices from the USB C and USB A at the same time.

I had two of the previous gen K&F V mount batteries, used them for a year now and had no issues, even under mild rain and non of the ports has any issues yet

Just bought 2 x SmallRig VB 99 Pro batteries on B&H for $179 each. The sale just ended but they've been 179, not 249 for quite a long time. Consider Canon's 99 Watt Hour battery for their cine cameras, the BP-A60N is $469 and Sony's similar BP-100U is $445, the SmallRig batteries are a steal. The only way KF Concept gets them so cheap is 1 - they steal other companies designs so they don't have to pay for R&D and 2 - they use inferior materials & battery cells that don't last as long as more expensive batteries.

Bought 2 of the SmallRig V Mount batteries. The USB port died after 2 uses. Never even took it out of my office.

FYI - "HONEY25" gets a better discount than the "ROSS" code does. $88.23 total

I have the same smallrig battery and mount. Mine lock's in fine. You may have a defective battery or mount.

I wanted to buy their NPF970 but it has too low USB output, hope they release a new version
