Bummer on the batteries not lasting, you may need to get a couple of those SmallRig batteries with the USB C ports and their latest V-mount battery with dual USB C PD ports so you could have the drained units charging while you work. Or, you may have to put that battery on your waist and run a USB C cable to keep it powered via the external battery. This sort of thing reminds me when I used to used an external battery pack in my waist to power my flash for events. The next option is to look into a Z9 a refurbished or used version could come in close to the Z8 price, they pop up from time to time. The Z9 would give you the integrated portrait grip and that massive battery that you can shoot all day. My D300 with the grip was my workhorse camera back in the day and I used the EN-EL4 battery inside the grip, it last way longer than the standard battery.
When you think about he cost of those extra batteries to keep you going, the Z9 starts to make a lot of sense for professional work.
Thank you very much for the comment. I will have to look into the SmallRig battery. The Z9 take even though it is a great take. The Z9 is not for me it is just to big for my needs. Even though it does solve the battery life issue.
you can power the Z8 with a battery bank USB power delivery
Very true, now i have mull carrying another device but more than likely I will.
Did you have your sound off as the second shooter?
No I recorded sound as well for the little video that I did.
