Is The SmallRig VB99 PRO V Mount Battery A Total Game Changer?

[@travellingjoey]

Kyle, thank you for making this informative video 👍

Great job on the video Kyle! Thanks for making it.

Digging your Rig! What is the low-footprint tripod you have mounted here?

[@KyleWattsTV]

It was a small tripod stand that came with a zhyiun light. Just repurposed it for this

[@lunarvue]

If using a dummy battery connector to the Smallrig battery, do you know if the battery life indicator on the camera's screen will display accurate VB99 Pro life?

[@testshoot]

Neewer, Came-TV and ZGcine all have similar, and slightly cheaper v-mounts. I love Small rig, but the price difference might be a decision maker.

Can you have a cable just going from the battery to the Sony a7siii ? I’m not familiar with D tap and dummy batteries

[@KyleWattsTV]

Yes you can use a usb-c cable straight to the camera

[@bettadenu7]

@@KyleWattsTV so just any usb-c cable or does it have to be specific usb3.0 cable of any sort ? Sorry I’m a little new to using this kind of equipment Thanks for the quick reply too bro

[@KyleWattsTV]

@@bettadenu7 doesn’t need to be a data cable but just one you would use to charge a device.

[@KyleWattsTV]

@@bettadenu7 just a heads up you will still need a battery in the camera when using the usb c cable to power.

[@bettadenu7]

@@KyleWattsTV just the standard battery that goes into the camera and a usb c cable and you’re good to go ? Thanks bro really appreciate it, you’ve been the only one to reply and I’ve been looking everywhere Thank you so much my man 🫶🏼🫶🏼

I just bought one, worked fine for a few hours, then it started to show 0.8W draw even though nothing is hooked up, and also the power button doesn't work when i hold it. It won't turn off the screen. In fact the screen would stay on all the time. Also, the battery loses charge on its own slowly. It says 5 days something battery life left when nothing is plugged in. Anyone experienced this? Any solutions?

[@yomommanigga2501]

From what I have read you can contact smallrig and they will send you a new one free of charge, as long as you have an order number from where you bought it.

@@yomommanigga2501 I bought if off ebay, fingers crossed.

[@arunwithaviewmedia]

But how many Kyle Watts does it output? 😅😂😉

[@KyleWattsTV]

😆

[@Godzilla6864]

I personally can't recommend the small rig battery as it been a failure out of this box. I can't even turn it off anymore as the on off button failed 3days after I received. There are less expensive batteries that do the same thing and they actually work.

[@Xboxers]

What would you recommend?
