  • LED video lights have an optional handle battery like the ZSYB 100w battery handle for the Yidoblo 100w LED light and the Zhiyun X100 plus the handle battery by Colbor and others. Do I like them? Are they worth it for video LED lights and portable video lighting like wedding video and photography lights and lighting?

    It's so much fun to be talking to other professionals in the field, and have them mention, "Have you seen that Markus guy on UA-cam? He's the BEST!" I always reply, "Take a look around my set. Most of the gear you're seeing was tested and recommended by him!" (like the Manfrotto geared head that CHANGED MY LIFE!!) Please don't EVER stop doing what you're doing!

    Weight and balance are some fundamental facts often overlooked by many professionals in this field, so it is a very valid point mentioning how heavy it is to be placed on top of a light stand.
    I have learned a lot in my 40+ years as a professional photographer. Really appreciate your observations and recommendations!

    We use a Osmo Pocket 2 to record our local neighborhood poetry readings and use a 'smatree portable Osmo Pocket 2 battery grip' to power the camera beyond its own capacity. It's a bit bulky beyond the actual camera but delivers in terms of extending the camera's recording capacity while remaining inconspicuous on a tripod.
    From this perspective it's a 'yes' vote, at least in terms of Osmo pockets 1 & 2. (we haven't found a need for the 3, yet)
    Btw your content is always excellent, keep it up.

    I bought a much smaller one before, to keep my ZV-E10 going for longer between battery changes.
    I also bought a dummy battery that works via USB PD, but that wasn't ideal because if the cable from the powerbank gets knocked, the camera will turn off and whatever you were recording gets corrupted.
    And when you plugged it into the wall, it would mess up the audio (even external input), I guess because of noise from the AC side.

    Can the 🔋 of such handles be replaced? If yes, then it may be more worth getting. Especially if one can source for 🔋 of a better make.
    Otherwise, the whole gadget would last only as long as the 🔋 that came with it.

    You want the best a mam | man can get, they got 2 & 3 squirt gun batteries. So virtually, it's the lightest per cheap in the whole world. Then a buck step down is a 1.50$ bucks. A pair of 0.3mm aluminum, where is it going? 5x10's, pull it together with hose clamp and a bead of dry crazy adhesive. The next step up is your dirt bag 4s, it's much crapier to death, but you don't have to store it at 35%, the squirt gun batteries are mathematical parallel plate lithium. So then tap in tab 9s plus 5g battery, just grab the first thing Temu, *_313 marker ohuahua YES THEY GAVE ME_*

    Hey Markus, long time follower of your channel! Love your content.
    I have a question for you. We make outdoor adventure films, and currently use Sony a74 and it’s great. However we run into this issue where we always need to zoom way in, but also need talking head shots in the same setting. It’s a lens switching rodeo! We are usually in dirty and dusty environments so switching lenses can be a pain, especially dozens of times a day.
    Here’s my question. We’re looking for a camera (camcorder) that will shoot good quality 4k, has a sensor good enough for outdoor low light and has a built in lens that can handle a 600mm equivalent zoom.
    Any recommendations?
    Thanks!

    I use a 99 watt handle battery (600 gr.) intended for the Color Wonder 100 on a light boom pole with a Godox LC30Bi (300gr.) as a counterweight.
    I love that light, because of its built-in reflector, which results in very even lighting with virtually no hot spot.
    In my opinion, a handle battery is perfect for such a scenario. I think having different battery types in different designs makes you more flexible for different use cases.

      The 400 gr. weight stated in the article description refers to the 77 watt version that is also available.
