Listen everybody if you need a Camera guide? This is a great place to get one. When I got in the photography I purchased the Panasonic G7 camera guy from him and wow didn’t make a difference and learning how to use that camera. It made me become a better photographer. Thanks
Always on the lookout for new and affordable gear for my camera. Currently I shoot on a 200D, primarily video, and I always need a good option for longer battery life, so these options look to be super helpful. Thanks for putting this together.
This couldn't have come at a better time. I was choosing all the parts I want for my GH5 rig (using suggestions from your videos and blog posts), but I wasn't sure what kind of battery solution to go with. With this, I decided I'm gonna start investing in V-Mount batteries. Thanks Caleb!
I use an Anker battery also sold as EZOPower, that has two USB ports and one DC Power port with 9v and 12v output. It powers my Canon 6D and 60D, as well as my Canon RP camera. I also have the FP Flashpoint battery that powers my flashes but also has a DC port to power my camera with the proper dummy load to camera.
Great video! I got the dummy battery + powerbank (no need for ifootage). I do admit it's not really practical for run and gun shooting, because I don't carry around a cage to attach it. However, I shoot most of the time on a tripod so I just hang the powerbank in a small bag and hook it where I can. Otherwise, I have three small batteries that last at least 1h30 to 3h00 depending on how much footage I shoot.
Nice video again, Caleb ! Very helpful Just discovered the Tilta NP F baseplate, such a great device I have a question : i have a sony a7III and the Sony NP-FZ100 is 7.2v. There no issue at using a 7.4v power ? i'm not really into electric stuff .... Thanks a lot mate !!
I am using the ifootage electric ray. I have put together a cable to plug direct into the camera. That way I can still have a battery in the camera as a power reserve. Amazing, charging up, so easy now with ifootage.
The only problem I found with the extended battery packs (at least the Sony one for my A7S) is when you use a follow focus, the camera body still moves and is noticeable when pulling focus quickly :/ BUT! I am so thankful for the other options you provided in this video. Thanks again man!
Good demonstration of the current technological hurdle - batteries! Pay all that money for the most compact mirrorless and you surround it with battery?
Hi. I like your tutorials, they are always clear and straight to the point. Speaking of the powering solutions, are those truly universal and work for any camera? You refer to Sony and Canons, but will they work for a Nikon? I am afraid to fry my camera trying. Thank you!
I'm planning to get fuji xt3 with tilta vmount baseplate and fxlion nano one. With this combo you can power the camera from USB c and external monitor from dtap or dc out at the same time 😊
I've used a dummy battery and external battery pack for a long time with my 5d mk III with no problems. We're talking about 12 hour music video shoots too.
4:44 - 6:04, Q: Once you connect this smaller set up together what do you connect external battery and camera to? 6:05 - 7:03: With this small / mini set up I'm still not quite sure HOW you connect this to the camera, then the battery back to the camera or to a tripod mount?? Wish you would have shown this (complete) set up as you did the others. Sorry, I wasn't quite able to catch on to these two concepts. Could you explain better here? Thanks for sharing your wealth of knowledge.
Sooo much knowledge in this video - really appreciate it, Caleb! I don't know whether you take up requests from your audience in any way. But is there a chance that you can be persuaded into talking a bit about the possibilities of charging batteries through solar power? I can't find much info on that on the interwebs. All I can find seems to be about charging power banks and phones. And if there were anyone I would like to introduce me to charging NP-F's and V-mounts with the power of the sun, it's you!
@@dslrvideoshooter Nice, i am starting with complete TILTA cage system. So many options to build, from basic body to fully rigged film camera, cant w8 for your version of buikd. :)
Hi Kaleb, did you know you can hotswap your batteries when using a batterygrip. I've purchased the offbrand batterygrip that you recommended in your "My favorite camera setup" video, for my GH5. And with 1 battery in the body and 1 in the grip, you can hotswap batteries for unlimited power.
Was just looking for an alternative for my annso adapter. QC must be all over the place. Mine cuts out all the time on my XT3. The tilta options look promising. Coming in clutch again, Caleb. Thanks for making this video.
I've been looking at leveling up to V-mount and seeing that Tilta mount changed the game for me. Now, just have to wait for a good cam to drop: Sony A7Siii or Panny S1H.
I have made bad experiences with the Neewer Vertical Battery Grip for the Sony A7 III. The current firmware 03.01 doesnt work with it. After a while it says "incompatible battery" and then I have no other choise than turning the camera off and on again..
I really liking the Tilta V-Mount Baseplate. I am currently buying the parts to build a rig based off your video ULTIMATE Handheld Camera Rig. How would the Tilta V-Mount Baseplate effect it?
Thank you so much for the Tilta options. I have the Nucleus nano and am in love with Tilta's build quality. Will consider their options. One thing I do not like about my Blindspot is the lack of a see through aka cheese plate style 1/4" mount. Was experimenting on a recent event photoshoot with my Canon M5 as my secondary camera and my style of mouting it did not work. Having said that, I was surprised by how power hungry my main camera was. My X-T2 with grip including the 3 batteries, devoured them really fast. Guess I was too used to my DSLRs with their LP-E6ns. Also, thank you for sharing about the ones you think are dangerous. I have that bulky one too from amazon and used it once with my M5 and the Crane 2(for some reason none of my DC cables fit into the Crane 2's Output) BTW could you do a video about the various DC cables out there? I need a structured mini crash coure on the purpose and function behind each pin design. Would love watch a video about that from bot you and Gerald Undone. Together, you guys ccan really give quite an in depth education on such topics in your own styles. Thankfully my equipment and me were safe, gonna toss that bulky one into the recycle station this weekend.
Thank you for an awesome and informative video. I actually have two of those cheap battery adapters you mentioned, and yeah, they suuuuuuck. I also would not recommend some off brand battery grips. I got a Vivitar battery grip for the a6500 for free. It worked fine until the camera decided it didn’t recognize it and shut off... right in the middle of my bride and groom’s first look. Thank goodness I had two other cameras rolling!
The V-mount plate from Tilta is supposed to be just compatible to MBPCC cameras (hard to believe for me) but it seems you use it for your Fuji - right?
I used to use an Atomos Power Station, but I was having some problems with this. Recently I have purchased a USB battery solution with the two plug connector. It has been running fine. It ran my GH5 for 11 hours continuously. I also have an Indi Pro Tools PortaPak which has a tremendous amount of power (98 wh) for only $100. I like the PortaPak the best.
My tilta baseplate, I can actually pull the battery out enough for it to stop supplying power. I was wondering if yours had the same issue? If my eject button was 1mm closer I wouldn't have this issue.
Great video once again! Whenever I use my usb powerbank to dummy battery with dual usb to my gh5s, it works fine until I need to set white balance and I click the shutter. It ends up restarting the camera. What do you suggest? Battery grip? Or different usb option?
Hey Caleb, I'm not sure if its better to have a battery plate, to power camera + monitor, or would be better with only monitor powering camera... Dont know what to do. Some advice will be appreciated
Guess that tilta vmount would be good for the blackmagic pocket 4k instead of the core swx. Especially if you get several batteries instead of more than one core swx 🤷🏾♂️
Great video as always. Wondering if you recommend powering a Pocket4k with the Tilta plates that output 12v. I'd love to go straight to the Weipu instead of a dummy battery if it will output 12v.
so as your camera is running through the Weipu, battery supply voltage starts to drop as the battery is drained. The duration of when the voltage drop too low for the transistors to fully switch cause excessive heat, eventual turning your transistors into resistors, shutting down the camera, eventually damaging the transistors. The Battery Compartment has circuit protection apparently, shutting down when it see Low Voltage, saving the camera from heat, but leaving 40% battery with unused charged. Battery slot takes between: 6.2v - 10v External Input (Weipu) between: 10.8v - 20v So basically don't use the Weipu if you don't have a way to monitor your battery voltage as it drops, below 10.8v using the Weipu is cooking your camera even tho it is running longer.
I know this video's pretty old at this point but just curious if you've been keeping up with more recent developments in this area. I have the Tilta NP-F plate with a 12v and 7.4v DC out, but I've been having trouble figuring out if one of those DC ports could supply power to a camera (like the Lumix S1) with USB-C power delivery if the right cable was used. Any insight?
Powering from the wall may cause an issue when you can get the 50Hz noise in sour sound. I've had that with my Canon 600D when using an external microphone. The built-in microphone sound is clean though.
Thanks for the video I've needed! I'm going to buy Tilta V-mount Battery Plate, but I can't figure out which cables I need to buy to juice my gears. I have A7R III, Atomos Ninja V, and Small HD 702. Please~~:)
I'm usually a massive fan of getting off-brand kit but I've had issues with my Newer battery grip for my GH5 corrupting files when it switches over between grip and internal batteries.
I kinda get the pain you went through. I would suggest looking into a used battery grip from the camera maker itself. Got a used, well kept example for my X-T2 at a great price off ebay
That old mac in the background, is that an SE/30 by chance? I have an old SE and an LC2 and a color classic and my first machine 30 years ago was a mac plus :-)
Hey Caleb, I wonder if BlindSpot Power Junkie will work with X-H1 connected via dc-dc cable to port in vertical grip. If not, what is best option to power that combo (X-H1 + grip)? :) I can't use battery dummy, because i have cage for gripped camera.
Hey Caleb, really interested in knowing if you have tested the life span of that Sony NP-f battery with USB and 7.4v plugs. Many off-brand NPF batteries seem to not last more than a year or two of usage, such as Wasabi. This one you showed us is even cheaper than Wasabi, I'm skeptical that it will worth it in the long run. I wouldn't want to have another bucket of these batteries.. Thanks for sharing these ideas!
Thank you for all your videos. Is there a way to power a Fuji X-T3 through its USB-C port from a 2.1mm DC 7.4v port? I am wanting to use a Sony NP battery adapter plate mounted to a cage to power the X-T3 and a Shinobi (via battery eliminator). I wanted to stay away from a dummy battery for the X-T3. Does anyone make a 2.1 DC to USB-C cable?
Do you know if they have any battery plates for any other battery except for the F970? Maybe the GH4 DMW battery. If not, do you now if they have any battery plate adapters? I'm trying to power my rig with DMW because I have lots of them.
Super helpful! I have a question about the GH5s grip that you own if you have the time to answer. I had tried and eventually returned the DSTE branded grip, but am wondering if I had a bad unit or maybe I’m expecting too much... I found that my rig flexed a little bit between the grip and the main gh5s body. This was exaggerated when the camera was in the smallrig half-cage, paired with a heavier lens like a 24-70, and held by the top handle. Also, will your ansso dummy battery work with the grip? The one with the SmallHD didn’t work for me.
The sound of mounting the V-mount battery is amazing.
