I don't believe this was mentioned in the video, my apologies if it was, but something to note is this battery is not compliant with FAA lithium ion battery regulations. If you do fly with camera gear, batteries under 100Wh, or if you don't mind getting airline approval 101-160Wh per battery are going to be the largest capacities allowed on commercial flights. It is something I deal with all the time at airports and would hate for someone to get rejected because they didn't know these requirements.

I've been using a Neewer 99w Vmount battery for a little while and it is in a similar vein to this battery but I got it for 80 bucks. It has USB c charging and a Dtap output with 8v and 12v output. I could use USB power delivery for my FX3 but i have a Dtap Dummy battery and it makes the cable management easier and I use the USB port to charge the gimbal instead. Smallrig sells a v mount lock that hooks on the bottom of my DJI RS2 plate where the Transmitter is supposed to hook into and I balance that bad boy with the gimbal and it powers the Camera and the Gimbal and the monitor all day for my wedding work. It is truly a miracle how it all comes together. I've also made it a handheld rig with another smallrig v mount lock (They can stick a v mount locking plate on basically anything) and it screws into the side of my cage and it balances out my handle. this new generation of v mount batteries are insane.

You can plug pretty much anything into it, because it has all the common voltages and plugs. And if you can 3d print a v-lock for it, it will also look gorgeous. It currently powers my telescope, lol. It's awesome, really. I also powered a TS-100 soldering iron with it... The only thing you can't do with it is to force enable USB output for stupid low-current devices.

The SmallRig batteries, and their v-mount adapter, has quickly become the favorite addition to my FX3/FX30 rigs. I bought the original ones right before the pro versions came out and despite lacking the intelligent screen information, their size makes them my go to. I still use Core batteries with my gimbal rig, since the time-remaining information is so important. I look forward to grabbing a couple of these to use with lights, and of course with monitors and cameras. I only wish they were 26V rather than 18V so lights would have more power. Side note, iFootage is on their third iteration of their monopod (of which I still have the 1st version and love it). I'd hoped they'd be releasing a new tripod at NAB to rival the Sachtler Flowtech. Sirui and YcOnion are doing it. And, looks like Gene (Potatojet) was working with SmallRig on a new quick tripod. iFootage needs to get on it!

Can you charge these with the 600C V-Mount plates? I've had issues finding what's compatible and what's not. I asked Aputure support and they apparently don't even have a comprehensive list nor would share with me which batteries can be charged with their plate on my 600C :/ Lowkey looking for a replacement for my IDX batteries since they don't charge on 600C's battery plate. When I use my IDX batteries, it doesn't charge and the readout, while attempting trying to charge, is always 100%; normal use has normal readout tho. Anyways, thanks for the vid!

Hi Gerald, any help would be nice. I have the VB99, power my GH5 via dtap and dummy battery. All fine there. Then I have the Feelworld F5 ProX. This one is powered via USB C. As soon as the usb is in I have a few seconds to turn on the monitor from standby, otherwise the VB99 stops sending any power and the monitor is no more in standby. Solution is to unplug and replug the usb and quickly turn on the monitor so it stays on. But if I turn it off again it will take a few seconds and the standby led will just turn off. Any idea why? I'm thinking that the dc port (instead of the USB) could be less smart of an output and keep juicing the monitor even in standby, or maybe the VB99 has a feature no matter if usb or dc port that if the port is not sending full power it assumes it should just kill the power altogether for safety. I guess having a battery plate with an on/off switch is one thing but I don't need one. I don't have dc cable, but I'm trying to find one to test and I was hoping maybe you know something about it.

Hi Gerald, undoubtedly many good port features, bar as you say the D-Tap via '3 connectors socket cups' for dual orientation. BUT the ACID test for any battery is how good the cells are and whether the unit has smart charging protocols to maximise the total useful number of charge/discharge cycles? This in effect dictates the useful practical life. Do you have a view on this or can you, as a 'tech savvy' reviewer, start to assess real 'value' (ie accounting for effective life performance per unit of cost)? i.e. Almost literally a "bang for buck" score? Sure there will be difficulties assessing any real value metric. Not least because it takes time to conduct multiple charge/discharge cycles and purchase price will vary over time (dealer to dealer and when on/off promotional events like Black Fri). Yet, surely physics is physics and there is enough known science now to determine what sort of fundamental ingredients go into making a really excellent top flight battery. In the absence of any known objective assessment all we have is our own gut instinct and a trust for what we suppose is a quality brand. I have heard many declare brand X as being good but very expensive, thus of questionable value, vs say brand Y that might be more mid-range on cost. But it's hard to really know. I strongly suspect that the cheapest will prove 'cheap' for a reason. Equally the most expensive not always as good as you might expect - considering that you are also paying to support a well known brand's marketing, advertising, influencer support etc to help 'hype' perceptions. I wonder, if NASA made V-mount cells, engineered for maximum life, how they might evolve and what that would tell us about the optimum mix of chemistry/materials/protocols etc given a (presumably) 'cost no object' approach to engineering the finest technically possible. It probably won't ever be best value but there may well be technical insights and learning, pointing up what best value probably looks like? So, I'm sure there are V-mounts where a manufacture has cut corners on the grade of individual internal cells, used cheaper Li-ion doping elements, cut corners on case robustness and/or wiring integrity fundamentals etc . Net result being that many a cheap (bargain basement) V-mount won't stand up to heavy professional type use, won't work nearly as long as other, more expensive options. Also expensive premium batteries where you pay for the brand name. But, which is which???? What do others think? I have heard many say SmallRig's VB family is 'brand X' in my text above i.e. good but very expensive (thus not necessarily good value unless bought on deal). Then again, I just ordered an original SmallRig VB99 on a good discount, presumably as a result of VB99 Pro just being launched.

I notice you are running power from your battery to the monitor and to the camera, which also share an HDMI cable. How do you make sure that you don't accidentally damage the HDMI port? I had a wireless HDMI device share a battery with the camera it was connected to, and I ended up frying the wirelss HDMI. Thankfully not the camera. Apparently, power can potentially go down the HDMI, under certain circumstances. Online I found that, at least years back, people were having damaged HDMI ports on their Black Magic cameras due to it. I don't want to risk damaging the HDMI ports on my devices so now I never share batteries between devices that also share an HDMI cable. Perhaps this is overly cautious.

Here is my biggest beef... It's huge. I would love to see them innovate and make the darn things slimer and shorter, but that's just me.

Caleb's v mount plate in his video was interesting. Check it out.

Best part of the video is ironically not the battery.As amazing as this battery is. It’s Gerald trying to remove the battery.

6% in one day being completely disconnected? Wow, my small rig 99 battery barely uses one percent per day if at all.

Wait! What if they had built-in rod sockets at the bottom… 🤯 no need for a v-mount plate anymore.

to be honest vmount/goldmount batteries seem to be a ripoff per se.... this 212 wh battery sells for 440 usd (which in camera batteries is a good deal, dont get me wrong) - a 650wh ebike battery goes for less. both, i am pretty sure, use the same 16500/16340 cells. maybe vmounts have a better (?) bms, but sure enough the biggest difference is the connector.. like redmags vs m.2 ssds.....

Most US airlines don’t actually limit to 99, they limit to two batteries over 100 but under 160. Unlimited under 100 I think.

It was interesting to also see Chris over at Petapixel gushing as much as he was over the battery for a lot of the same reasons. When the church I volunteer at is ready to go with full builds these are on that parts list for sure.
