Thanks for this! I can confirm that the Nano One also does work very well with the R5C (6:29) and allows for 8K 60 recording. I get approx 3 hours of record time with the Nano One and have heard it's about twice that with the Nano Two.
@@pbfilms6356 I found another reason why the Nano Two is the better option for me: I can power the Atomos Shinobi via D-Tap dummy battery, which saves me a lot of weight!
CAN ANYONE ANSWER THIS: I'm curious, no one ever talks about the charging time for the FXLION NANO. What is the charging time? and what is the fastest charging route and thus time you save via that route?
Hi Stan, really funny: I got the Nano Two YESTERDAY and finished my R5 C 4k60 422 test just an hour ago. I used the 2TB Angelbird and I can tell you that it lasts pretty much to the second 6h :)
Great video!! this answered me question around powering the R5C . Just refreshed my entire kit with new bodies and lenses only to find I could only record 30-40mins on the standard battery, not easy to find a solution on the net when I simply needed to know how to power the R5C and stay mobile. Ive just purchased the FXlion battery and mount, this should make life alot easier..
Fantastic video, especially the breakdown in how long it lasts for etc thank you! We’ll be investing in one of these amazing batteries soon! Have you heard of the V Mount Battery, Moman 99S Mini? It’s slightly different to the V-Mount Battery, Moman Power 99! I was wondering which one is better tbh
I have the FXLION. Works great w. the R5C -- 8K/60P no prob -- and doesn't required a dedicated v-mount charger. I use my MacBook charger to charge it. Take it with you on the go, and can use it to charge your iPhone, etc. as well.
I tried the USB-C port of the ZGCINE V-99. And there you can´t record 8k60fps. It´s really frustrating with my r5c and the powersource. Now i´ve ordered a kondor blue dummy battery and hope that i can power it without frying it...
Great video but I'm getting confused by the visual. What is the part that has LASER, LINK, LINK, etc on the side that you have the v mount battery and v mount plate attached to? I'm sure it's a dumb question but. Everyone who says what they ended up using rarely shows how they actually set it up - and this is where I'm a little lost.
Im really considering the 99wh ZGCine. Do you know how many hours I can expect using it with my Fx3 and a very basic 6inch monitor? (I usually only shoot at 4k24 or 4k60)
so witch dummy battery should I buy? I will use on my SmallRig v mount plate on the 14,8 v D-TAP output port? or just the 8v? 12v? if I'm not going to use usb-c thx for the info on the video!
Have you tried running the camera with only a dummy battery inserted? It is my understanding that you can power the camera that way and get full capabilities, 8k60fps with AF, and not have anything plugged into the USB camera Port.
Hi Stan, thanks for making this video. I wanted to ask-are you able to power multiple devices from the battery and still maintain the power draw needed for the R5C? I’m hoping to power the R5C from the USB-C out, a Hollyland Mars 300 Pro from the USB-A out, and an Atomos Ninja V from the D-TAP out. Not sure if these batteries can handle all of this while still outputting the necessary wattage for the R5C to see PD input.
You should be fine. The Nano One has a max rating of 8 amps. The Nano Two can output 10 amps. The R5C pulls up to about 15 watts = 9V * 1.6 amps. The Ninja V pulls up to a max of 20W so probably another 2 or so amps. The Hollyland Mars 300 looks to pull another 10W. V mount batteries are designed to drive 200W lights.
@@SuprUsrStan Thank you. I have ordered both the ZGCINE and the FXLION (Nano Three as it’s somehow cheaper than the Two) and I will test these out for this purpose. I’ve also ordered the Anker PowerCore III Elite which has 4 outputs (two USB-C and two USB-A). This one arrived today and I was able to test it out. It powered the R5C, Hollyland 300 Pro, and Zoom F3 with no problems. I didn’t have time to test whether they could all be recording/transmitting at once but I imagine that wouldn’t be a problem if they powered on and stayed on at idle. Once I get the remaining batteries I’ll report back what I find.
@@pickleydoo I've been watching the Nano Two price creep ever since the R5C release. I didn't even think to check the Nano Three's price. It's kinda crazy the three is cheeper than the two right now. That's definitely the one to get if you need lots of power.
@@SuprUsrStan yes; the only downsides I can think of are the weight and the wattage (can’t bring it in a carry-on when flying). I also ordered a USB > 12v adapter to see if I can also power the Atomos with the Anker. I am very curious as to how this will perform as it it’s by far one of the cheapest and simplest options.
@@SuprUsrStan Hi Stan. I wanted to update you with my findings. With the Anker power bank I was able to power a 5 hour shoot for both R5C (stopping and starting-total record time of about 1.5 hours at 4K24p + proxies) and the transmitter. Both were powered on for the entire time period The battery had 8 of its 10 led’s lit at the end of the shoot. Note that for some reason the Anker power bank couldn’t power the Atomos with the Power Pipe 12V adapter. I didn’t film with the ZGCINE or the FXLION Nano Three but I did attempt to power my rig with them and this is what I found: The ZGCINE could not supply PD to the camera *and* power the transmitter at the same time. It was one or the other. Strangely it couldn’t really power the transmitter very well, and it required the battery to be in the transmitter for it to work. I was able to power the Atomos via the DTAP while supplying PD power to the R5C, but again when I plugged in the transmitter it didn’t work. I’m guessing the power output changes when trying to use both the USB A and C at the same time. The USB C out did work to power the Atomos using a Power Pipe 12V adapter. The FXLION Nano Three could power the camera with PD power, the transmitter with no battery, and the Atomos via DTAP. It seemed like it could handle this with no problem. Also the weight and size is very comparable to the ZGCINE with 50 more watts. And it’s cheaper than the Nano Two on Amazon! I didn’t test the Power Pipe 12V with this but I imagine it works. Thoughts: I’ll keep the Nano Three for the tripod rig, and keep the power bank for the gimbal (though I am considering the Nano One for the gimbal as it’s apparently very light and the Anker is quite heavy). I’ll be returning the ZGCINE.
thanks for the video-) thanks for the video-) I have seen in a video t I have tried the usb adapter of the macbook pro? they are 87w, do you know if this is ok, thanks in advance
Thank you very much for this video Stan. I want to know if it is possible to power with the FXLION NANO simultaneously the EOS R5 C and a SmallHD Cine 7
Hi Alex, I tested both yesterday and today with the same settings as Stan: The Nano One gave me 3h, the Nano Two 6h, so exactly what you expect based on the specs. I went for the Nano Two though, since its only 200g heavier (300g vs 500g), but only costs 80€ more in Europe (180 vs 260) while having double the capacity. You also have to keep in mind that recording time equals power on time on the R5C, so I thought 3h is not so much for shooting a whole day.

@@pr1sm55 I know right? Imagine trying to dump the video files into a laptop...
I’d also love to see how you’re rigging it
Can you test it on 8K60 raw? That mode is only available with external USB-C PD and uses the most power. Thanks a lot

ZG cine batteries are very defective. check reviews and make up your mind whether you wanna buy it or not.
What's the best way to rig one of these up on the camera?

awesome video! Thank you
Great video content. BTW, what usb-c cable did you use to connect to the R5C? I noticed it had a right angle.
I bought a handful and this is the one I ended up liking the most. It's the 1.65 feet one. amzn.to/379RsmL

Thank you very much for this video Stan. I want to know if it is possible to power with the FXLION NANO simultaneously the EOS R5 C and a SmallHD Cine 7
Looks like the small hd cine is rated for 18w. Between that and the r5c you’re around just 30w total consumption. It shouldn’t be a problem.
@@SuprUsrStan Thank you very much for your quick reply Stan. This is very useful information.
Looks like the Nano 3 would work too, am I correct? If that’s correct then I think I’ll get the 3 for 150Wh!
Did you get the 3? I’m curious about its performance.

At 4K30 or 4K24 a Nano 1 would be closer to 5 hours or so too.
@@SuprUsrStan Yes, thats also what I would expect, based on the difference in power consumption between 60p and 30p/24p
