J’ai rcemment eu l’occasion de tester la batterie SmallRig NP-F970, et je dois dire que mon impression est assez partage. Elle prsente des avantages indniables, mais aussi quelques points qui pourraient tre amliors, surtout pour le prix propos.
Ce que j’ai apprci :
Bonne autonomie : La capacit de 10 500 mAh est indniablement un atout pour ceux qui, comme moi, ont besoin d’une batterie qui dure longtemps sur le terrain. J’ai pu filmer pendant plusieurs heures d’affile sans avoir m’inquiter de la recharge, ce qui est rassurant pour les tournages prolongs ou les sessions photo.
Recharge via USB-C : Le port de recharge USB-C est une fonctionnalit que j’ai trouve trs pratique. Cela vite d’avoir transporter un chargeur spcifique, surtout lorsque je suis en dplacement. J’ai pu utiliser le chargeur de mon tlphone pour recharger la batterie, ce qui m’a facilit la vie dans certaines situations.
Ce qui m’a moins convaincu :
Indicateur de charge parfois imprcis : Bien que l’ide d’un indicateur de charge en pourcentage soit sduisante, je l’ai trouv peu fiable par moments. Il m’est arriv que le pourcentage reste fig ou change brusquement sans raison apparente, ce qui a sem le doute sur l’autonomie restante. Pour moi, un indicateur prcis est essentiel pour bien planifier mes prises de vue.
Poids et taille encombrants : Avec sa capacit accrue, cette batterie est naturellement plus lourde et volumineuse que les modles NP-F970 standards. Si cela peut convenir pour une utilisation en studio, sur des tournages en extrieur ou pour des projets ncessitant une configuration lgre, elle devient rapidement encombrante. J’ai parfois d repenser la manire de monter mes quipements pour que tout reste quilibr, ce qui n’est pas toujours idal.
Temps de recharge variable : La possibilit de recharge rapide est un avantage, mais uniquement si l’on possde le bon chargeur USB-C rapide. Avec un chargeur classique, le temps de recharge devient vraiment long (plus de 10 heures), ce qui peut tre un inconvnient majeur si l’on a besoin de la batterie court terme. Pour un produit ce prix, j’aurais apprci un chargeur rapide inclus ou au moins des indications plus claires sur les accessoires ncessaires pour optimiser le temps de charge.
Quelques rflexions supplmentaires :
Rapport qualit/prix discutable : environ 89 la pice, cette batterie est plus chre que d’autres options disponibles sur le march, surtout les modles NP-F970 classiques. Bien que les fonctionnalits supplmentaires comme le port USB-C et l’indicateur de charge en pourcentage soient apprciables, je me demande si elles justifient vraiment ce prix plus lev. Pour ceux qui recherchent simplement une batterie de secours fiable sans les extras, il pourrait tre judicieux d’explorer d’autres alternatives.
Performances variables selon les quipements : J’ai remarqu que la performance de la batterie peut varier en fonction des appareils sur lesquels elle est utilise. Sur certains quipements comme l’Atomos Ninja V, elle fonctionne admirablement bien, mais sur d’autres, l’autonomie semble lgrement infrieure ce que j’attendais pour une batterie de cette capacit. Cela peut tre d des diffrences de consommation nergtique, mais cela reste un point prendre en compte.
En conclusion : La batterie SmallRig NP-F970 a beaucoup offrir, surtout pour ceux qui recherchent une autonomie prolonge et une recharge pratique via USB-C. Cependant, elle prsente aussi des inconvnients, comme son poids, sa taille, et des performances variables selon les quipements utiliss. Pour le prix, elle peut ne pas convenir tout le monde, surtout si vous ne trouvez pas d’intrt particulier ses fonctionnalits avances. En somme, elle vaut la peine d’tre considre, mais avec quelques rserves.
I’m so happy with the power of this battery I 100% recommend, I’m a filmmaker with Sony camera and this battery help me to save money everybody knows how expensive the Sony battery are I love to have this one
This battery out performed factory sent batteries that came with the monitor. The digital display shows you how much juice you have left, adding more to the great aesthetics of the battery. The battery is a about twice the size of a normal battery and that is a good thing. This battery last through multiple shoots before charging. 2-4 hour sessions. Performed well outdoors in hot and cold temperatures. When it dies charge it back up with the included Type C cable. This has Lost of vue for you purchase.
Utilis sur un clairage vido leds portable , on est assur d’une trs grande autonomie.
la ranon est logiquement le poids et un certain encombrement, mais cela s’oublie vite comme cela dure longtemps.
L’avantage de pouvoir recharger en usbc est l’argument supplmentaire pour le choix.
Une indication en chiffres du niveau de charge en pourcentage (pas en barrettes) est apprciable.
Excellent produit qui se paye, forcment.
When the ‘SMALLRIG NP-F970 10500mAh Replacement Battery for Sony NP-F970 F750 F550, PD 36W’ arrived for me to test I actually felt a bit guilty. The fact is that I don’t have a camera that accepts these batteries. Much to my delight – my lighting ring does work with these so I can feel a little better that this is not just a very expensive and decent quality power bank.
The quality of the packaging and the contents is just excellent. It is evident from just removing this from its nest that this is quite a bit more than a basic power bank. The green and orange is discreet enough not to draw too much attention.
Charging from the initial 67% it arrived with was completed in under 2 hours via my high power USB-C charger. The LED display is extremely clear and once charged can be activated via the button just below the screen.
In use it is absolutely seamless, charging via either of the USB ports gives a very decent charge rate (as expected) in use on my ring light it was also flawless. The fit to the adapter plate is like butter, I would imagine that this is similar for a Sony camera.
At a price of 79.90 this is not cheap, however when you have paid several hundred or thousand pounds for your camera it’s probably worth the extra.
I have been very impressed by this, straight out of the box I could see and feel the build quality and design were both spot on, so I was able to give it a test run straight away. It exceeded all my expectations and performed admirably on my latest shoot. Easy to store and recharge Via USB-C All in all a good piece of equipment that I totally reccomend.
I’ve always had issues with third party NP-F batteries and this has been fixed with these ones from Smallrig. No intermittent connections, accepts a 36w charger so it full in next to no time and has connections to provide a charge to other devices over USB.
It’s also handy to have an on screen charge gauge too.
I’ve genuinely had issues with the hotshoes supplied by Dedolight for NP-F batteries. It’s not Dedo’s fault, just that they are exacting in the fit and third party manufacturers tend not to be so accurate or forgiving. This solved my problem and was worth the price seeing as it’s so hard to get official Sony batteries and that they lack any of the functionality of these ones.
Une trs bonne batterie avec une capacit suprieure aux NP-F970 classiques.
Je l’utilise exclusivement sur mon Atomos Ninja V qui est trs nergivore, et elle me permet de filmer 5h non-stop avec encore 12% restant, ce qui est tout simplement excellent !
vrai dire, je ne la vois pas comme une batterie NP-970, mais plus comme une gamme encore suprieur, car elle est physiquement plus haute et possde une bien meilleure autonomie. De plus, c’est un gros point fort de voir afficher le niveau de batterie au pourcentage prs.
Niveau chargement, avec un chargeur rapide pour smartphone en USB-C, j’ai trouv que c’tait trs correct surtout au vu de sa capacit.
Bref, rien dire, TOP !
What we have here is a multi-purpose V-mount battery, with a fancy little screen to show you how much capacity is remaining, a USB-C in/out, making the charging prospects much better if you neglect to bring your NP-F charge dock with you, and a USB-A out if you don’t have a double ended USB-C cable.
Frankly, this is a very good V-mount battery that you can also power/charge a significant array of accessories with.
Part of me wishes I’d gone with the orange, but the black looks great regardless.
This is a huge 10,500mAh capacity and supplies PD36W, so if I wasn’t using this battery to fuel my Sony camera, I could easily charge two or three of my drone batteries out in the field.
These are available in a number of different colours which is great if you want to differentiate your kit from other people but also to help you know and monitor battery usage. The capacity of this battery is fantastic and as well as being used on cameras can obviously be used on any small rig style accessories like viewing screens et cetera. The USB-C is a touch that allows it to be both charged and also to charge other items this means you can have coniis a touch that allows it to be both charged and also to charge other items this means you can have complete confidence in having enough MacBook power et cetera. The unit itself is made from a really robust and good feeling plastic and I would certainly say it was comparable to any leading brand.
I don’t have a camera so got this to use as a power bank for phones, it’s 10 000mAhs so will last longer than the average power bank but it’s not that much. It’s pretty cool how it displays the percentage of battery left on a little screen, I have no complaints so far aside from it being bulky for only 10 000mAhs
PROS
-I love the LED indicating level of charge, so useful
-measured it taking a charge at 35.5W (from a PD100W charger, with 240W capable cables)
-measured it supplying 35W to my highest draw device (a video light that will take 100W of charging power)
-textured sides mean a better grip
-USB-C in/out, plus USB-A out
CONS
-steps down to a total 54W of discharge power when outputting via USB-C and USB-A simultaneously (not a major con, this is not a huge step down from the USB-C 36W + USB-A 27W that they can do individually).
NOTES
-I use these batteries in several different ways (they have become such a standard), I’m very happy to have this one (especially as the USB outputs will be so handy to have available)
MY STAR RATINGS:
1* substandard, mostly cons
2** barely acceptable, cons outweigh the pros
3*** meets the basic requirements, cons balance the pros
4**** good product, pros outweigh the cons
5***** exceptional, all (or almost all) pros
Powerful, versatile, a great addition to my lighting kit.
I’ve got this attached to one of my fill-lights, and the added capacity this Smallrig supplies is really welcome.
The light unit came with its’ own pack (a small 2200mAh type), and while that’s just about ‘OK’ for short stints, this Smallrig pack really allows for much longer work jobs.
It’s really well made, pretty hefty as you would expect for a capacity of this size, and the mirror-finish panel containing the power display and the touch-button gives it a simple but attractive look.
It fits the light unit perfectly as you would expect with the NP fitting, and given that there seems to be more and more equipment with this mounting spec appearing all the time, it’ll prove invaluable long-term.
The USB in/out facility also adds to its’ usefulness, and actually helps power another close-proximity fill light.
Excellent stuff, and on a quality/value-for-money basis… 5-Stars.
This heavy duty rechargeable battery pack is outstanding. Available in a range of colours (I chose the orange – which is a great colour when you are looking to find it). When mine arrived it was charged to 71% and a simple touch on the control area shows that (hence the photo). Take the clip on/off base away and it reveals the standard Sony battery connection, in addition this has a USB-C socket on one side and a USB-A socket on the opposite face. So this can be charged up with a simple USB cable and discharged through connecting it to the standard Sony camera socket.
This is a very well made product that will also act as a source of power to charge your phone or other portable device and does so superbly. I cannot say how impressed I am with this and how delighted I am with its capacity and flexibility. Although I am a Sony camera user, I think I will be using this in a much wider capacity due to its great flexibility. A truly excellent product!
Ich bin viel unterwegs mit meinem Equipment und mache dabei kleinere Shoots, wo ich vllt nur eine Kamera mit Monitor nutze oder auch grere Shoots mit extra Lichtern und diese Situationen haben alle eins gemeinsam: Man braucht Strom bzw Akkus. Daher kann man auch nie genug davon haben!
Diese hier gefallen mir auf den ersten Eindruck wunderbar! Sie geben ne Menge Leistung und sind einfach zu laden! Auerdem haben sie eine Ladeanzeige in Prozent. Das haben auch nicht viele Akkus und dadurch ist es fr mich leichter dann zu planen, wie viel Zeit ich noch habe bzw wann ich wechseln sollte. Tolles Produkt!
Brilliant little piece of kit. The fact that it’s already a pretty high capacity NPF battery on it’s own is pretty good in itself, but add to that the versatility of having a USB-C in/out and USB-A out and it really starts feeling pretty awesome. The USB-C in is especially beneficial, as it means this can be charged of just about any standard charger that anyone is going to have just about anywhere. It’s well built, feels and looks nice, weighs about 370g and measures about 3 inches square by 1.5 inches deep, so basically very portable. I charged it from 60% to full in about an hour, so you can say something like 3 hours from 0% to 100% depending on how it intelligently charges. Either way, you can charge it pretty quick. There’s a nice, clear battery indicator on top that gives you the exact life in single percent increments, both when charging and in use. For the people that want versatility and portability, this is an absolute win. I hate having to stuff gear into my photography kit bag, so anything that reduces clutter and makes life easier is a big plus for me. It’s pretty good all round really, and I’m very happy with it.
Ich habe mir diesen Akku in der Hauptsache zur Stromversorgung meiner Videolampen bestellt. Das funktioniert sehr gut und dank der 10500 mAh. auch sehr ausdauernd. Zum einen betreibe ich damit eine RGB 1200 und zum andern eine MS60B. Beides sehr ausdauernd. Die Ladezeiten des Akkus halten sich in Grenzen und er ist flott einsatzbereit. Meiner war mit 65% vorgeladen.
Der Akku wird in guter, stabiler Verpackung geliefert. Mit Dabei ist ein USB-C auf USB-C Kabel mit einer Lnge von 100 cm. Auch eine Anleitung (inklusive Deutsch) liegt bei. Der Akku wiegt 366 gr. Gre: 70,80 x 74,40 x 38,75 mm. Der Akku verfgt ber ein CE-Zeichen!
Als Powerbank leistet dieser Akku ebenfalls sehr gute Dienste. Er verfgt ber einen USB-C Ein und Ausgang sowie ber einen USB-A Ausgang. Hier kann man weiteres Film- oder Foto Equipment oder hnliches problemlos laden.
Die Verarbeitung lsst keine Wnsche offen. Sauber und ohne fehl und Tadel. Die Akkuanzeige gibt auf leichten Druck des Touchringes die vorhandene Kapazitt in Prozent an.
Fazit: Sehr zufrieden und ich werde meine alten Akkus nach und nach gegen diesen austauschen.
Really nicely built and sturdy feeling. It feels like a SmallRig product with nice robustness but smooth sides for easy handling. It looks pretty new, but with the nature of how must of us photographer and videographer people are this will probably get scuffed up and beat up quick. The screen isn’t super bright but legible, and it shows charge and depletion in 1% increments which is great.
Size wise, it’s pretty big. It’s the biggest of all my NP-F batteries, but also makes sense being it has the highest capacity and also the usb in and out functionality that the 8 year old Kastar battery in the bunch doesn’t have.
It’s a NP-F battery so there’s a lot of places you can use it. I’m currently using it for a Video monitor, but something else that’s neat is it has enough capacity to power multiple devices so I have a wireless hdmi cable going to the out on the monitor to send a signal remotely for composition and lighting check. It works really well and the SmallRig powers it with no issues.
I love SmallRig products and was pretty excited to review this one. My NP-F batteries were all suffering from a lack of modernization and while they were still functional many of them have started to lose capacity and worst required a dedicated charger or used Micro USB to charge. The SmallRig’s big advantage is it’s an older battery but modernized with the USB-C port that does in and out, which is a big win. It’s a little pricey at $79, and a little big, but it’s worth considering you still have a lot of devices that use this battery style.
The Smallrig NP-F970, as they assert, is a professional replacement for Sony’s OEM NP-F series batteries of a similar size. And at 10500 mAh, a powerful one, even in its class. Many accessories now can fit an NP-F battery directly. Alternatively, used with an NP-F battery adapter plate, it’s power can be distributed to multiple devices with varying wattages, for example, to a camera and monitor or focus motor simultaneously.
The battery has an updated design aesthetic that includes an OLED screen for checking the battery level instead of the usual series of small LED’s. By “screen” touching an area defined by a small circle, a readout will display of the remaining capacity, given as a percentage. The battery can be used as a standalone device, with USB-A and C outputs. The USB-C connection is in/out, and used to recharge the battery with the included USB-C cable; and a quality cable at that. With its USB-C charging input, it can be charged almost anywhere and with almost any charger in use for today’s current devices. That includes plugin wall chargers, car chargers, power banks, your phones charger, etc.
If you need copious, versatile and portable power on the go, you can’t go wrong with this Smallrig NP-F970 battery. And the “Army Green” color is a nice change from the typical black.
Along with the USB-C cable the battery is also supplied with a cover for the pin connections.
