TRIGGER WARNING!!! Dude I love the detail you go into with these videos, but the corner of your desk curling up had me so distracted!

[@keith-knittel]

Hahaha thanks for the kind words and yeah… I understand that. It’s a an awesome desk pad but the edges curl up slightly in the winter/when the temps are cooler/dryer. It looks a lot worse on camera than it actually is. I’m looking to change my office up soon so I’ll look into that ha

Thank Keith for such an INFORMATIVE & DETAILED review. I love it because you compare 4 brands of v mount batteries. They are: Core, Fxlion, Smallrig, and ZGCINE. Besides, you compare them in multiple different categories such as: constant power delivery, ports & connections, size & weights, etc. You also mention Core 45W Fast Charger. Two small things are missing from this video: 1. You don’t say if you receive these Core SWX Nano X for free or not. 2. You also don’t talk about their disadvantages.

Big fan of these batteries! I only run core on my Komodo X and these new ones are game changers. Love usb c charging!

[@keith-knittel]

Same! Slowly phasing out my d-tap charging batteries

[@sa.t.2507]

How do you do regarding not seeing the remaining battery on the camera screen? I mean there must be a risk of forgetting to check the percentage and that the camera dies in the middle of a shot?

[@b_cinematographer]

In my opinion the most important thing is how long the warranty is. Vmount batteries have more and more unnecessary electronics instead of just being a battery. In my smllrig VB99 battery the electronics failed after 25 months. The battery is dead, even though the cells were still highly efficient and would probably work for a few more years. Old Vmount batteries from other brands, without a nice display etc. lasted an average of 4-6 years of use and usually the cells that held the current failed in them.

[@matadormartin]

Better build quality and longevity is the key thing really. I was about to try one of these Nano X, but then Core immediately released this new fangled PD Pro delivery system right after releasing these batteries, and it is a handy looking function. Now I feel like I wish they had put the PD Pro system onto these batteries.

[@keith-knittel]

Me too! I've been trying to get my hands on those new PD pro batteries. Saw them at NAB this year and they look awesome

[@matadormartin]

As it happens I did ask Core in the end, they basically said it could be a long time before these batteries get PD Pro because they have a commitment to the OEM so they prob won’t change them anytime soon. Would’ve been nice but for now I think it is one or the other

[@FluidSurfing]

Great review for this point ☝️

[@rdstudios-production]

I assume these are the same cells as the Core Neo line. Any cons about these?

[@acoast84]

So do I understand correctly that Smallrig battery doesn't show the remaining battery life quickly in a push of a button?

[@MrKlein17]

Great information! Thank you very much. Since all the ports are in the battery... Would you use a V Mount Battery Adapter Plate with connections and ports or just a basic v mount adapter? Also. Have you tried the new NEEWER V Mount Battery PS099E? I know its a much cheaper brand but the comparison are pretty good and its less than half price.... wondering...

[@michaelfrymus]

The larger 150WH version of the Core SWX is a lot more expensive than the SmallRig one. Not sure if the same applies for the smaller 98/99Wh batteries.

[@emmanuelphillips1740]

I definitely want some details on your car rig

[@keith-knittel]

What about the car rig are you interested in hearing more about? I could make a more in-depth video about that

[@HavikenHayes]

I wanna know everything! I'd love to see a whole video.

[@braaji]

Can you use this to charge phones

[@keith-knittel]

The USB A or USB C port will also charge phones

[@JohnnyMotel99]

The old batteries would use 18650 cells, whereas the new one here would be flat-pack cells. The old cells took up more space and are heavier, flatpacks have a plastic 'shell' and obviously take up less space.

[@seunlamina]

But ask yourself is that why i should pay about $300 for a battery???

[@JohnnyMotel99]

@@seunlamina I bought an INui 27000maH for £70.

[@MelvinDlaCruz]

$228.00, hahah hell nottt way better option on Amazon for $100; I prefer 2 $100.

[@sam78882]

I’ve bought SmallRig 100 and one died and the new one is draining fast with Atomos Ninja and Sonyfx30 which can you recommend to buy a real good one which V mount plate I own a SmallRig v mount battery adapter with adjustable arm Thx hope to hear from you

[@sam78882]

I wished you had a list of the batteries I am confused I am buying this SmallRig x Caleb Pike V Mount Battery VB212, 14400mAh/212Wh V-Mount Battery Support 140W PD USB-C Fast Charger, with Dual USB-C, D-TAP, DC Ports, USB-A, for Camera, Camcorder, Monitors, Lights - 4293and a Dual Channel V-Mount Battery Charger $149 by smallrig you think it’s a good choice or but something else sorry about two posts but I subscribed to your channel as I can get educated and always give you one gig thumb 👍

[@poti732]

Not gonna lie, the smallrigs are very inconsistent, iv had all sorts of voltage issues w them , it was pumping out more than it should, it was spiking. And smallrig support was not helpful at all.
