      Yes you are correct. I was "comparing" just like the title says. Since I can't test the limits of the items I cannot make it an actual "review". It's more for your information video, nobody and I mean nobody goes out and buys 7 plus NPF plates... I sure as heck cannot find any video with a pile of them compared.

      Even if I had the equipment to test the limits of these this video would be excessively long to review 7 of these. I attempted to make this as short as possible.

    Thanks for the video. There is another Smallrig model that I have been using for 2 years. Smallrig 3168, I use it for both Black Magic 6K pro and Zoom f8n pro recoder. No problems. It has power button and charge indicator. Greetings from spain

      Good to know you had no issues, I saw the nicer Smallrig adapter plate before.
      I was uncertain about getting it based on the very high price in Canada and the negative Amazon reviews.
      Thank you for sharing your experience.

      I just ordered the Smallrig 3168-SR last night. Using the power delivery port I can power my new Sony camera via USB while keeping the battery inserted.

    Great comparison, but I am still in 2 minds about going this route. My monitor has 2 MP-F battery slots, I use the slim ones that seemingly last forever, makes it clean with just a single Micro HDMI cable to the camera. For the camera (ZV-E1) the small rig battery has a USB-C input right on the battery, just opening the battery door and plugging in a standard USB-C battery bank also powers it pretty much indefinitely (or you can connect USB-C to the camera, but this can cause thermal issues). Once the battery bank is depleted, it still has 95 minutes or so on the built in battery, it's a shame you lose that backup with a dummy battery.

      2 NPF battery slots?! NICE! Which one do you have Godox? Atomos?
      With my F500 Monitor I can actually power my camera with the barrel out connector or use 1 of my 2 NPF batteries with USB slots that I show near the end of this video (Same as Smallrig but my one has 30Watts Power Delivery not only 20 PD like smallrig). Using that I use a USB dummy battery while the NPF is connected to monitor.
      The Fujifilm Cameras are slow to charge via USB, it makes little to no sense to keep the original battery. Even the Sony ZV1 was rather slow charging so I used a Dummy battery with that one as well.

      @@sparkestudio It's just some cheap monitor I got from eBay, the manufacturer is Feelworld. It still has a MiniUSB port on it for upgrades lol. Charging is slow but I'm using the SmallRig battery as effectively a dummy battery with backup, if my small USB-C powerbank dies, I still have 90 minutes on the internal batt :)

      @@DigiDriftZone B&H photo video in the USA sells feelworld as well. I live in Canada, sometimes USA products are cheaper. Great that your system works for you, I could try it the same way to charge the battery as well and see how it goes. I almost purchased the dual battery Godox GM7s but the price point is rather high.

    nice video, did you loose your footage or missed it out cause lack of power?

      I am confused on the question. I wanted to make this video as short and too the point as possible.
      Since this video I now use the very expensive Smallrig 3168B. I often use the USB power delivery port to power my camera. With up to 36 watts power delivery that is impressive. The catch? There is no off button, only a battery life check button. I am also NOW using the
      Sony A7C ii which I can use the power delivery to either a USB C dummy batter or to the camera USB to keep the battery charged.

    • @sparkestudio
      @sparkestudio  2 дні тому

      ​@@bernardocuesta4217 I don't have an answer for your question. I do know a battery with DC is much safer and cleaner power compared to using wall power to DC. Usually USB connection is well voltage regulated and most DC to DC is using nearly if not the identical power output to the battery. if using DC barrel power you should use the closest output voltage to the battery included with the camera.

      Thank you for the correction I am certain 100% everyone was completely utterly confused beyond belief and could not figure it out 🙄
      Being on camera with zero time to correct mistakes because I have 2 channels and 6 days off of my 14 days straight of work at a camp and taking zero days off to just work even more it is easier said than done to think clearly. I promise you I will for 100% certain have more mistakes for you to correct and you can help everyone understand what they can not logically figure out on their own. So again thank God you are here to help us all. I appreciate you assisting so I can attempt to pay more attention and stop being so shameful.

      And trust me no human in their right state of mind would ever work as much as I do. My camp job alone is already double full time hours per week of work. I made this video at the same time as attempting to study for my electrical IP exam. I have literally is no time left for me to actually get sleep. Oh not only is this one of 2 channels I also work with an actor and record for him on his channel of 291,000 subscribers as well during those 6 days home out of every 21 days. Simple English is the least of my worries, the long term negative health consequences are going to be a real downer.
