Chiming in to say that there are real negatives to the cheaper NPF batteries on Amazon. I had one blow up while charging and start a fire. If my neighbor wasn't home, I would have lost everything. There are risks to using any lithium battery, but look for the UL mark, unplug if it's getting hot, and use a flameproof charging case wherever possible. I have several Smallrig products and their build quality does lead me to believe they are safer than any random cheap battery. Would still use it with caution.
i was very interested in this until I saw the price. GTFOH. For $70 bucks more you can get the old 99 V mount battery. I am a bit tired of companies - like SmallRig in particular - price gouging us becasue they know we are a very invested and forward thinking community as photographers/videographers. The sad part is I have the money to get it, but when i know you are trying to milk me I have to draw the line. Smh.
The reality is the cost of this battery is probably not much less than there 99 V lock battery to produce. Cost wise the v lock is better value for money however if you want those features in a NPF battery then this is probably the best option.
Yeah, just wait a bit longer, about half a year more, and someone else, like Neweer, will likely create a more affordable version with similar or even better quality.
To be honest the reg batter are USA $40 and up so I’m sure the extra 30 came from the usb c port and display screen yes 50 or 60 might be that sweet spot but 70 is no that crazy plus eventually it will be on sale also

when using it to power your monitor and usb-c to your camera, does the usb-c 35watt reduce or split current?
Can you recharge the battery via C port and usinf the battery at the same time?
My question too...

Can you charge it while it's being used? Like a dummy battety so it's like your camera is plugged in?
Good question. Something I will have to check. I presume it can’t due to heat but I’ll see if it works
