I definitely think this is a great battery for your camera rigs! It just needed a couple of USB ports more.Price: I think it’s priced quite well, it does seem expensive for a battery but if you’re looking at it you’re used to paying top money for lenses or for cameras. I would say that this does become appealing when bought on a sale!Performance: It’s mega, I’ve done upto 5 hours with this thing and it still had probably 30% spare. This is dependent on your use case but I do think for my needs the performance is incredible. Its got a nice screen too which shows how much juice your ports are using, so you can be sure your camera is getting the required wattage. It also shows the battery percentage too.Size: Good size and adds a good bit of weight to the camera rig. Just make sure you’re counterbalancing as mine did become “back heavy”Quality: I’ve had for a couple of months and hasn’t shown any signs of wear or tear. So far it’s holding up!It’s great, I’d recommend it! I just wish it had two usb-c outputs.

Excellent high capacity compact power source. Will connect to pretty much anything - v-mount, d-tap, usb, dc. You can power multiple devices at once, and the built in screen makes it easy to track power use and remaining capacity. Charges in a couple of hours with a high power USB-C charger, but is a lot slower if charging from a laptop etc. Use this to power a full camera rig with external monitor and LED light.

Runs my videography filming rig for a full wedding day powering my external monitor and camera. Does exactly what I need it to.Also extremely useful when traveling for charging phone/laptop on the go!

Bought as a camera battery however it is a great double as a portable power bank when in need.

Lots of my friends use another brand V-mount but they always run out of juice on a video shoot, this beast lasts all day powering my monitor and camera at the same time.

Small profile, with lots of useful outputs, can be charged by USBC but also on a traditional V-Lock charger. Useful display screen - I’ll be buying more! Glossy design but maybe not the most durable?

Sometimes it just turns off and isn't viable for a few days... annoyingThis has been resolved quickly and equitably. Thanks.
