Man, your audio is exceptionally good.
Great video, but the audio is perfect!!
Thank you....
I've had one of those Sony NPA-MQZ1K multi chargers for years, I wish Sony would update it and throw in some USB Type C ports.
You Can store the battery door inside the battery grip so it will not get lost.
REALLY!!!!!???? I need to check this out.
Yea, looks like its incorporated into the dummy battery portion of the grip (part that enters the camera)@@MauriceMercado
Great video man! That charger/ dummy battery thing is sick. I have been peeping it for awhile but never pulled the trigger on it. I ended up just going with six Sony batteries 😅 and a Sony charger. I haven’t bought third-party batteries since I had a lot of bad experiences especially with my a7iii when I had it. I picked up the FX3 when it was released and ever since then I decided I’m only buying Sony brand batteries and the third-party ones just aren’t worth the risk and they definitely don’t last as long and I had a few die on me or just kind of break apart at the seams where they glue them or press them together. I still have all my Sony Z100 batteries even my original ones from when I switched over to Sony 5/6 years ago.
The biggest downside to the third-party batteries other than they typically use cheap cells is the fact that if your camera dies during a take/when you’re filming, it won’t save the clip before the camera turns off. The camera just shuts off without saving first. It has definitely screwed me at a few weddings, and def not worth using third-party batteries ever again 😢
Great video 👊🏽
I use the NiteCore USN4 dual battery charger for my Sony A7III batteries. It can fast-charge two batteries. ⚡⚡
I'm not sure if you care, but when hanging a flag vertically, the stars are supposed to be on the left. Thanks for the video showing some good options to extend the battery life.
Oh wow you are right. Thank you. I was trying to ride the fact I'm in an unfinished space and did not realize it. Thanks for watching. I'm going to try to do an update video now that I've been using this battery system for a few more months.
@@MauriceMercado I actually really like the space as far as the shot is concerned. Even though it's in focus, it's not too distracting. I only told you about the flag because I assumed that since you have it up there, you probably care. Keep up the great work man.
They need to update it to USB-C
I very much appreciate your sharing this video. I seriously doubt I will be purchasing this expensive gear (I shoot photography only, but knowing that I have battery for long periods of shoots is a must and this device looks as if it might fit that bill. However-too costly at this point. I do NOT trust any other 3rd party "dummy batteries" as of yet. I know Neewer and others made one, but I must have lots of long lasting power on my HIP! I tried a 2,000 mAh 600 watt power bank and another smaller one for cellphone charging and much to my amazement, it did NOT give me more/longer playing life-nope! When plugging it into the USB-C port on my A7IV, it was tryin to actually charge it, but that port is for "let it sit and fully charge" mode as if when you are done for the day and a few HOURS later it's recharged...in my case over 6 hours to fully charge battery in camera. So now, thanks to your video, my "lightbulb" just went off. That USB-C slot will NOT recharge my battery while it is being used; it only works when nothing is drawing "juice" from it and so, I must find another portable fix. I guess it's a "dummy" battery from Sony, but hopefully the connections will be useful in another charging unit and my problem will be solved at a much less expensive expense. We shall see!
I am fortunate that I was able to buy this battery unit thru my job because it is very over priced. I'm planning on making a follow up video about this unit soon so stay tuned. I have some thoughts on it after using it for almost a year.
Thanks for introducing the battery-pack.
You did know you can place the door in the batterygrip right?
YES!!!! I realized that after i made the video....lol. I'll be making a follow-up video now that I have been using this setup for over a year now. Thanks for watching.
The biggest downside is how large it is. Having a smaller setup, that you can easily put in your bag or be more discrete with is very valuable. Just having a second battery somewhere in your bag does a similar job
I agree. I plan on doing a follow up video now that I've had this for a year.
Can the dummy battery be inserted in the vertical grip?
No this vertical grip holds 2 batteries in a special tray.
I don't know how Sony gets away with this never giving a charger nikon, Canon and everybody include a charger except Sony what a bunch of bullshit.
Then when you buy their charger, it's over a hundred dollars getting more money out of you.
I want a dummy battery for streaming any suggestions witch one would be the best for the A7iv so I can stream for a long period off time
You can try any one of these... amzn.to/3IqHptl , amzn.to/3I4CE7y , amzn.to/3IpZmYV or I think you can just leave your battery in the camera and use the USB-C cable the camera came with and power it on while its charging. Don't know how that would work for an long recording but worth a try.
Thanks!
Welcome!
on the battery grip it let's u store the door from the battery
the camera is in your presences bro
Point of view
With NPA-MQZ1K how about transition between batterys ? Do camera turn off when one battery is dead ? or It's can turn on through 4 batterys in a roll. I use camera for live streaming things so I'm very concern about how long It's can turn on (I use NP-F battery plate from smallrig to power my camera for a while) Thank you and sorry for my poor English
Great question, sorry I didn't mention this but yes it treats the unit as one giant battery so it will keep going until all 4 batteries die. Thanks for watching. amzn.to/3dg54QB
@@MauriceMercado Thank you very much.
is it dummy battery inside which prevents heating? (the 4 battery external solution)
I never thought of it like that but year thats an advantage.
I wonder is this compatible with the ZVE-10?
The dummy battery will work I believe but not siure if it will charge the batteries.
How long it takes to charge the camera via usb C 0 to 100??
I've not charged it solely via usb but I do know that it charges at a slower rate. It's ideal as a backup/emergency charge solution.
Can you use this without any batteries in it? Using it plugged in?
I tested it and unfortunately you have to have at least one battery in it. However you can power the camera with the USB C cable directly to the camera but again you need to have a battery in it.
is that battery grip weather sealed?
Good question. I’m not sure it is.
Bro, your particular Sony can actually work from live USB power. Just attach a power bank.
You know...you are right. lol But I like having extra batteries on the ready wit this charger.But thats a good budget option.
@@MauriceMercado extra batteries are totally cool. But many of those power banks have 10-20k mah and less bulk at the same time.
Bro, overheating is a problem with that solution. in the solution mentioned in the video we have a dummy battery inside the cam and heating happens outside for battery. Camera can still get warm but not from battery. This is for video though as the camera stops functioning altogether. For pics this is not an issue
I clicked on the link you sent and it sells just the charger. It doesn't come with any batteries????
The amazon link is here... amzn.to/3dg54QB it comes with 2 batteries.
what sucks though is :
1. You need the 4 batteries for it to last as long as possible
2. If you switch it to DC mode with NO batteries in it it doesn't work as a dummy output... so useless, I have it and barely use it because of it, rather get a V mount instead, I honestly was expecting this to be a DC outlet dummy battery.
I agree, I went with this unit because my job paid for the extra batteries. Otherwise its a huge investment. However if you keep a battery in the camera and run the USB-C cable to power I believe you can run the camera off DC that way. Not sure how it will do with over heating in that scenario but I will do some testing and make a followup video. Thanks for watching.
Hi Maurice. Just a heads up. The flag is not hung properly.
Yes I know. I redid my studio setup since. Thanks. 👍🏼
@@MauriceMercado Awesome. By the way great content. Take care.
I would better buy a small batter rather this all big stuff and increasing the size of my bag and weight. Not practical
in video, we dont have an option. this is a must.
