I love the small footprint but what do you do if you're trying to power a camera and a monitor with only one dtap? Any other recommendations with small footprints? Thanks in advance!
They have a bunch of varieties of "break out adapters" that will plug into that D-Tap out and doesn't take up much more space at all. Of course it takes up slightly more than the battery itself, but it gives you way more outputs than any other v-mount battery ever would. There are some different varieties with a bunch of D-Taps, lemo connections and Hirose connections to choose from, very useful I think if you're looking to use these without a battery plate that has outputs of it's own and want more connections. They are in the process of developing a battery plate that does just that (as well as another that has mounts for 2 sideways micros, letting you hot-swap them out) and will be mountable on 15mm rods, from what I've been told it should be ready in a month or two and I'll have some more content on that when it's ready :)
@@ScottDumas thanks for the speedy response! I checked those out on the site, they're awesome just a bit pricey :/ I love the form factor of these batteries though. Is that vmm micro dtap lemo basically a mount that gives you one additional dtap? Trying to rig out one of GH5 cameras and know I'll be purchasing a ninja V for it.
No problem! They definitely are a little on the pricy side but super compact with tons of outputs which would definitely leave you open to use them in pretty much any situation. The vmm micro dtap lemo gives you one addition dtap on the plate as well as a 2 pin lemo out which could also be used to power things if you have the appropriate cable for it. I'm hoping to get a ninja V myself and I'll be curious to see the best way to power it (either a dummy np-f battery or something with one of the adapters that could work with it, like I think they have for some sort of external power source already. I have to look a bit more into that specifically.
I'm expecting the "coco" style plates they are working on now for the v-micros will be the best solution; more compact with tons of outputs... possibly a little expensive but their stuff is rock solid so definitely work the money IF it's in your budget. With what they have now I'd personally probably go with a smallrig plate to keep size down and one of those powerbars until their new Coco plate comes out. With the power bars you should be ready for pretty much any situation in a compact form, just have to decide dtap/lemo or hirose connections.
I need these like yesterday!
Haha, they're definitely pretty awesome :)
Hi can you do a simple video telling us one how long can the 45wh battery can last with the GH5? I'm really interested in getting this battery
Thanks for this video too!
I believe it should last around 3 or 4 hours, depending on how you're using the camera. If you're not continuously recording, even longer I think. I don't have the GH5 on hand to test myself anymore, but calculating the mAh, that seems to match up with what I remember.
What V mount plate are you using?
In this video I'm just using a simple v-mount clip from SmallRig, but now I'm using the COCO 15V III plate also from Bebob. It's awesome, and I'll be posting a video about it very soon :)
do you know any same dimensions battery plate please? :)
Not sure if it's exactly the same but Bebob does make a series of micro battery plates to go with these that might work for you. I'm using an Ansso plate custom made setup with the Z Cam E2 as well that is small so it might be worth looking into depending what your setup is. I think Fxlion has a few choices for compact plates as well. Hope that helps!
