    Battery powered lights are so empowering, I have recently transitioned to v-mount batteries for my field gear supplemented by power banks.The weight savings in comparison to coiled extension power cords and cable troughs is amazing. It left me some space for solar panels to charge up my power banks on day time shoots.

    I bought one during Black Friday, my first V-mount battery. For me where it changed things was the ability to keep it plugged in for long recordings without having to swap the NPF batteries I was using before. Especially when you just need to change settings at home and then have to swap batteries to make sure you always have full batteries on the rig. Now it just stays plugged in until I need to pack it up for a shoot.

    Moment of serendipity:
    Around the time where you first started vlogging, I went and bought those tin lights. I have my first music video shoot in YEARS tomorrow and I have an idea for a light effect that requires it to be clamped to an oscillating fan. Long story short, guess what I found buried in the bottom of my closet this morning 😂😂😂

    I like how with v mounts is you can use them as a counterbalance on your rig for comfort. And the flat end is a third point of contact sometimes. The NPFs are a little small for this. SWIM__________________________ (26 underscores)

    That is a great rig, I've been experimenting with stripping down my own rig and making it way more minnimal. One thing I've been really unsure about losing is the top handle, but seeing how doing so has given you such a low profile, I'm gonna give it a go. Awesome video!

    I just picked up one of these smallrig batteries two days ago, along with a 100W PD charging block. I'm going to test duration to completely discharge and recharge on my rig, and whether it will have enough juice to power the voltage hungry C70 for the full discharge of the battery. I have done the budget v-mount batteries in the past with Wasabi, Neweer, etc, essentially all the same cheap battery with different brand names on them. These cheap budget v-mounts cannot power the C70 after they get to 50% charge which is annoying. If these Smallrig 99's hold up, I will definitely be open to buying a few more to replace the older budget v-mounts.
