ZGCINE ZG-V50 V-Mount V-Lock Battery 3400mAh(50Wh/14.8V) with D-TAP,USB-C,BP Input & Output, USB-A & DC Output, Mini Power Bank for Cameras, Camcorders, LED Lights, Monitors and Smartphone

Product stopped charging on me but it could have been a bad unit.Rating is based on what I imagine it to be if it worked properly.I got 2 full charges out of it before it crapped out.It charges my iPad Pro once through.I wouldn’t trust the 50Wh to power my normal set up for a full production day (GH5 + Andycine A5 + accsoon cineeye). 95Wh is the way to go for this type of rig.Going to try SmallRig or FXlion next.

V-Mounts are usually heavy and bigger, but this is a mini version. Then again, it's also 50Wh (under 99Wh for airport regulations)USB A port provides 15W (5V/3A)USB-C port provides 40W (20V/2A, 15V/A, 12V/2A, 9V/2A)D-Tap provdes 14.8V at 10ADC port is 8.4V at 2.5AThe display is color and shows battery percentage.

As a cinematographer, I always use V-mount batteries on my camera rigs, lighting gear and audio kit. consolidating my power needs into a common battery system to power multiple items saves time on set. V-mount batteries have more capacity than most camera batteries, so I get longer run times, too. Downsides to traditional V-mount batteries are the larger size and weight.The new series of compact batteries from ZGCINE are well worth looking into if you want to reduce your load. They are significantly smaller and lighter, which can help with long shoot days. They are a cost effective alternative to other brands and offer nice features like a screen that shows precise battery level and charge status. This model has output ports for USB-A (5V), PD power via USB-C (5 to 20V), traditional D-Tap (16V) and a DC barrel port (8.4V). For many, this is an ideal mix of ports for powering a camera, monitor, and follow focus all from one battery.A few things to note:1. This battery seems to charge very slowly on my older dual V-mount battery charger. However it charges fairly fast via the PD USB-C port. The USB-C port is recommended in the user manual, but as most cinematographers typically charge with dual or quad V-mount chargers, they should be aware the USB-C port is the way to go.2. The embossed lettering on the orange port covers is very difficult to read. Of course, as you reveal the ports is is obvious which is which, but I wish the lettering was marked elsewhere.3. For some reason, this battery will not fit onto my Fotga DP500 V-mount battery plate. I suspect there is an alignment issue with the power pins. The battery DOES fit onto my dual V-mount charger, so it may just be a tolerance issue between the battery and my Fotga battery plate. This does prohibit me for using it on my camera rig, but I can use the battery to power my Sound Devices MixPre audio rig via D-Tap in my audio bag. I may invest in another V-mount battery plate...Overall, I think this is a great product. Had the battery been compatible with my dual V-mount charger and V-mount plate, I would have given it 5 stars. Your mileage may vary.

A lot of times I like to power my smaller mirrorless cameras with a v-mount battery but I like to keep my rig as light as possible. This is one of the smallest v-mount batteries I have seen. It works perfectly with my Sony FX3 as the battery has a USB C PD port that I can use to power the camera without a need for a dummy battery which is important with the FX3 since it doesn't have a spot in the battery door for you to run the cable out of.The build quality is a bit on the plastic side however it has one of the best screens I have seen on a budget priced v-mount battery for sure. I believe it's an OLED screen.Just a great v-mount battery for your light weight rigs.

So nice to cut the weight in half and honestly 50Wh is nothing to sneeze at anyway.I got this as a backup, but it's now my main battery. D-TAP of course, is essential and with USB C I can run my monitor as well off the same battery.We'll have to see how the longevity fairs, but it seems well designed/made.The display is very nice. I geek out over that kind of thing, so it's a big bonus for me. I like to know how much power is being used - and it can help greatly in determining problem cabling, which can be a very expensive problem. I kind of feel it should be standard, but I am an electronics geek, so I guess I would. Plus i have other tools to measure these things, but If I don't have to bring them, that's better.Really like the price as well - plus there is a 10% coupon, so it's a bit over $100 all in. Very nice.Recommended.

Very light. But still feels well made. I love the display that shows you real time charge left. Has multiple ways to connect. And the included cables are great. Much better quality then what usually comes with electronics.

This V-mounted battery works great. It has plenty of ports to run your devices. What impressed me were the quality of the cables which are included with this battery. It charges at a good rate for its capacity and lets you know percent it has charged on the screen. Speaking about the screen Its the other feature which stood out since it’s an OLED. I was not expecting that and thought it would have something less fancy at this price. Really happy with it so far.Thank you for taking the time to read my review and photos of this product. I hope it has been helpful in providing you with more information.

Compact and with lots of great ports so I can provide extra power to my camera and monitor at same time. But if it sits for one week it will drain completely. I wish I had learned this before the return window closed.
