I’m nearly fully moved over to V-mount batteries now, and I couldn’t be happier. I’m currently at an event running this battery with my iPhone and an Aerocaster, and I also use V-mounts with my GH5 cameras, monitors, and lights—many of which run on 12 V. For the GH5, I use a D-Tap to GH5 dummy battery, and I have a few V-mount adapters that unlock extra outputs, including 8 V, which I also use for my GH5. That’s my go-to cable for camera power.

Just last month, I covered a four-day event, and a single battery of this size easily powered me through 8+ hours each day. Along with a large battery pack, I was able to keep remote cameras running away from walls, reducing tripping hazards and cutting down on grip tape. The only downside? I can’t control the cameras remotely yet—but that’s coming.

The design is clean and minimal, with a single button and a segmented LED power indicator that’s easy to read. It features a D-Tap port on each side for plenty of connectivity. For the price, it’s a solid value. Charging is easy via D-Tap, USB-C, or standard V-mount charging plates. So far, I’ve never had to swap batteries mid-shoot and still have plenty of power left at the end of the day.

If you rely on V-mount power, this is one to stock up on—you’ll keep filming without missing a beat.
