La SMALLRIG NP-F970 una batteria ricaricabile ad alta capacit (ben 10500mAh e 67,65Wh) compatibile con vari modelli di fotocamere e videocamere Sony, come NP-F970, F750 e F550, oltre a tanti monitor e luci LED di diversi marchi (Aputure, Godox ecc.) Include una porta UBS Type-C sia in ingresso per la ricarica rapida che in uscita, quindi all’occorrenza pu essere usato anche come powerbank per ricaricare il proprio smartphone. Comodo lo schermo OLED che riporta il livello della batteria, facile da monitorare anche in condizioni scarse di luce. Anche il colore arancione mi piace molto perch permette di distinguerla facilmente in mezzo a tutta l’attrezzatura nera. L’ho utilizzata con un pannello LED che necessita di 2 batterie NP-F970 e posso confermare che non ha problemi di compatibilit anche se si utilizza una seconda batteria NP-F970 di altro marchio. La durata nel complesso fantastica, come da aspettative, e permette di lavorare tranquillamente per tutto il giorno.
Ich habe zwei Stck davon bestellt und bin super zufrieden. Sie finden nicht nur Einsatz als Monitor Akkus und zum Strom liefern meines Rigs, sondern nutze ich diese Akkus sehr gerne auch als power Banks. was ich auch super praktisch finde, ist, dass man zwei Gerte gleichzeitig damit laden kann. Sprich einen USB C Ausgang und einen normalen USB Ausgang auch recht schnell laden diese Teile andere Gerte oder selbst. Die Akkuanzeige ist super praktisch und insgesamt machen diese Teile einen sehr hochwertigen Eindruck klare Kaufempfehlung.
es de lo mejor que he comprado, haciendo un aproximado, me dura en 4 y 5 horas conectados a una Sony 7IV y un monitor VILTROX al mismo tiempo. me olvido de estar cambiando pilas en el dia

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.
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.
Meine Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Kameras (4K und 6K Pro) betreibe ich gerne mit vergleichsweise kompakten NP-F Akkus. Hierfr nutze ich in der Regel eine Adapterplatte. Aber auch in Leuchten und Monitoren kommt bei mir fter mal ein NP-F zum Einsatz. Mein bisheriger go to-Akku war (und ist) der BAXXTAR PRO NP-F970 Plus. Dieser hat mit 10500mAh, 75.5Wh, 7.2V eine hnliche Leistung wie der hier zu bewertende NP-F970 von Smallrig (10500mAh, 76.65Wh, 7,3V). Der Hauptunterschied zwischen Baxxtar und Smallrig liegt darin, dass Smallrig voll und ganz auf USB als zweite Anschlussart setzt. War bei Baxxtar neben dem USB-A-Out noch ein DC-Out, so hat der Smallrig Akku jetzt neben dem USB-A-Out auch noch einen USB-C-Out/In, der angeblich maximal 76 Watt ausgibt und ber den der Akku auch noch geladen werden kann. Da immer mehr Hersteller von mobilen Leuchten wie zB Zhiyun auch auf USB-C-PD-Speisung setzen, ist diese Option nicht nur spannend, wenn man mal unterwegs sein Handy schnellladen will. Im Test mit einer Zhiyun Molus X100 kamen allerdings ber den USB-C-Port angeblich nur 36 Watt bei der Leuchte an…
Smallrig gibt auerdem an, dass bei paralleler Nutzung des USB-A- und USB-C-Ports nur maximal 54 Watt flieen.
Nicht nur optisch nett, sondern auch praktisch am Smallrig-Akku ist das LCD-Display, dass den Akku-/Ladeszand in Prozent anzeigt. Zwar tun die 4 LED beim Baxxtar-Akku einen hnlichen Job, die Anzeige beim Smallrig-Akku ist aber natrlich prziser. Optisch und haptisch macht der Smallrig-Akku einen fast schon edlen Eindruck, auch wenn ich nicht sicher bin, ob das Pianolack-Finish auf der Oberseite nicht doch arg anfllig fr Fettflecken und Kratzer sein wird. Auffllig fr mich: Der Smallrig-Akku ist gute 40 Gramm schwerer als der von Baxxtar. Das mag nicht nach viel klingen, ich persnlich habe den Unterschied aber sofort in der Hand gemerkt.
Fazit: Der Smallrig Akku ist wirklich gut und berzeugend. Trotzdem nicht so gut, dass ich jetzt hingehen msste und alle meine ollen Baxxtars durch Smallrig ersetzen wrde. Aber: Wer jetzt in NP-Fs investieren will, sollte sich wirklich berlegen, den von Smallrig zu besorgen, denn er hat eine gute Kapazitt, ist gut verarbeitet, bietet ber USB-C auch noch eine PD-Option und die Mglichkeit mit jedem Netzteil und USB-C-Kabel geladen zu werden und hat ein praktisches Display.
Wer USB-C-In/Out und Display nicht braucht und sich fast 30 Euro sparen mchte (Baxxtar aktuell bei ca 60 Euro, Smallrig bei ca 90 Euro) und einen DC-Out am Akku praktisch findet, der sollte lieber den von Baxxtar in Betracht ziehen. Wer die NP-Fs eh nur in Adapterplatten oder Monitoren/Leuchten nutzt, findet noch gnstigere Alternativen mit gleicher Kapazitt.
Mein einziger echter Kritikpunkt am Smallig-Akku ist: Der USB-C-Port verfgt ber keinerlei Abdeckung und ist somit ungeschtzt! Unverstndlich, weil der USB-A-Port ber eine solche Schutzkappe verfgt…
Trotzdem: Was Smallrig hier fr knapp 90 Euro bietet ist wirklich berzeugend und gut! Daher klare Empfehlung von mir.
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!
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.
