K&F Concept V Mount Battery, 99Wh Mini V-Mount Battery, 6700mAh 14.8V Support 65W PD USB-C Fast Charger, with D-TAP, USB-A, USB-C, BP, OLED Screen, for Cameras and Camcorders

Got this K&F concept battery to use on my Canon R6 rig with the Smallrig tiltable Vmount bracket, and it's an awesome addition to my rig.

Adding a Vmount to your rig increases the weight tremendously but can also help reduce some hassle, especially, if like me, you are using a monitor as well. My monitor is an OSEE T5, and it likes to absolutely chew through the Sony NPF style batteries, so I'm always changing them like twice on shooting days. With this Vmount battery, I can plug in a usbc-to-usb micro cable, and power the screen off it for the entire day no problem.

I have one other Vmount battery, and this K&F has some big advantages. One, it's smaller than the competitor in every dimension, which is great for cuttings some bulk. Two, the screen is much more useful and provides pretty much the easiest way to tell how long its going to last - a run time meter! This is so awesome and being new to v-mount, I didn't even know it existed. On the screen of the K&F, you can see both USB port voltages, the battery voltage and bars%, as well as the current runtime for the output you are using. I have not used this to power my camera or other accessories quite yet, but seeing that number is incredibly useful.

One complaint, which might be a USB restriction, is that my display refuses to work on a USBA-to micro cable. I'm not sure if this is because USBA can't resolve above 5v or what, but I have to use a C-to-micro. PD on the USB C port works as expected, and is very useful because to power an R6, you have to use that. Unfortunately with my current cable set, my display cable blocks my USB port on my camera, so I wasn't able to power both the camera and screen at the same time, but I'm sure that's possible with a cable change.

Overall for the price of this battery, it's awesome. I would say that you should refrain from dropping it, as you should with most camera gear, but the plastic on it does not feel super thick. The vmount has a plastic plate where it contacts the receiving end, and feels just fine. It's attached with 3 screws so if you do break it somehow, it could theoretically be replaced.

Charging this over USBC works fine and charges the battery up in some amount of time (I always charge the night before shoots so I don't really care). If you look at the screen while charging, it does actually show that the voltage resolves to 20v, so make sure you are using a PD-compatible charger to get maximum charging speed.

This is your basic V-mount battery for use on a portable lighting solution. A lot of applications for theses units but I've been putting this one on LED light panels or COB constant lights a fair amount. Performance has been really good and the unit is well made with a nice finish and tightly fitting port covers.

The integrated display helps you keep track of charge percentage and output voltage. I found this pretty helpful. I used my D-tap charger without issue on this unit and it came back to full charge pretty quickly.

All in all a solid unit that I have in my kit for those times when you need power to go.

First of all, this is a good price for a V-Tap battery like this, a bit on the heavy side but that can't be helped. Initial charge took 4 hours to get to full power. Now usage is down to 60% at the lowest and takes about 2.5 hours to get back to full. Not bad, I think and coomes with an array of any type of port you way need likes the USBs and D-Tap. I have a dummy battery attached to this from another manufacturer to power my R5 and they all play well together. No issues. The V attachment also hangs well on my Neewer and SmallRig cages and pieces. Sometime in direct bright sunlight of this tropical region, the screen can be a little hard to read. Have to shade it with something but the readout is fantastic. No need to look at a little line of LCD dots to see the charge, thank goodness. All in all it was exactly what I was looking for, I now I don't have to send assistants back to the office to charge or get me new batteries!

This battery is amazing and works perfect with the Canon R5C and a Kondor Blue DTap to USB-C cable. Highly recommend due to it's size and weight.

It's pricey, but it's a lot smaller than most of your regular Vmounts and offers MUCH MUCH more features like easy and fast charging via USBC, Dtap to the battery itself and a whole lot more. It holds the battery very well and delivers power perfectly. I had no problems with it, but only used it to power my camera. I'm planning on trying to power a lamp and power my camera and monitor at the same time. You can get it cheaper, but I don't recommend skipping out on no-name brands. So you don't have to go for these, but if you're interested and they're on sale, I would 10,000% buy them again.

I have the 99W and it is exceptionally well built. It powers my Canon R5 C and Atomos Ninja V and shoots at 4K and 60fps in ProRes 422 HQ without a hitch for an hour and a half and I still had 46% left.

I've been using this battery for a while and I love it. The problem I had was that it seemed to overheat and wouldn't turn back on even when I put it on the charger. I contacted Smallrig and they responded immediately and ended up sending me a new one straight away. Great product and great customer service.

am a dedicated user of K&F Concept products for my video production company and recently had the opportunity to experience their exceptional customer service first hand. When using the K&F Concept VB99 battery, there was an issue where one battery stopped holding charge and the other charged slowly. As a professional who relies on reliable equipment, this has been an issue for my workflow. However, I contacted K&F Concept customer service (Alex was a great help) and was pleasantly surprised by the quick and efficient response. They recognized my problem and promptly provided me with two brand new batteries to replace overnight. This level of support and commitment to their customers is truly commendable.

With their world class customer service and wide range of exceptional products, K&F Concept has proven to be a reliable partner for my video production needs.

What you like: Finally you are no longer forced to purchase an expensive V-mount charger! I think that's the biggest advantage of this small rig part. Everything can be charged via USB here. Of course you can load it differently, but I wanted to mention it. Up to 80% the battery charges approx. 1% in a minute. That is fast. As is the case with batteries, the devil is at the end. It then looks like the last 15-20% takes around 2-3 hours. Discharge: Pure storage! 2% performance goes down in the first 48 hours. But then the battery remains very constant. Still 97% after 12 days. That's completely ok. What doesn't fit: If you want to pick up the battery, touch it, lift it up - you inevitably always come to the on/off button. That somehow can't be avoided...annoying! Unfortunately, the V-mount system is not yet widely used in normal cameras. It's still more of a bastion of professionals. Therefore, the layperson who still decides on such a system is always forced to buy lots of adapters for a lot of money. That hardly makes sense. Four stars!

The processing of the V-Mount battery is really flawless, very high quality, robust and high quality. In addition, it is also really very compact for the performance it brings. This makes it perfect for on the go. In addition, he also makes a lot in terms of design and appearance. It really feels like a real luxury product. A truly essential piece of equipment, especially for filmmakers. So that you can focus on your work for several hours in continuous operation without having to constantly concentrate on battery consumption and changing batteries. It charges my Sony DSLR camera with no problem. Even if you don't have the time to fully charge the battery (which takes a little longer here), you can reach about 3/4 of the charge within a very short time so that you can continue working without any problems. In addition, not only cameras, but also all other accessories such as cell phones, laptops, tablets, etc. can be charged. The Mini V Mount battery is also designed to charge devices at the same time, as various ports are integrated, namely USB-A, USB-C, 8 ＆ 12 V DC and D-TAP. The battery performance is also really strong at 6700 mAh. A nice additional feature of this product is the LED display, on which you can always clearly see how full the battery is. Sure, the price is really high, but you get a lot for it. Quality has its price. However, I would only recommend it if you really intend to use all the ports and really want to charge multiple devices (possibly at the same time).
