Comments about Switronix PB70B PowerBase 70 (Battery Pack Only):
I got two of these to power my DSLR rig. Perfect compliment to a small setup. I attached the quickrelease plate to the 1/4 20 on the back of my rig and that left the vmount on the battery exposed on the other side. Now i can mount my audio recorder directly to the battery with a vmount quickrelease. Awesome!! Also works as a great counterbalance. Powers my 5D and Marshall monitor for 5 hours and swapping out batteries takes 5 seconds.
I opted for the Zacuto LP-E6 Dtap cable because it was longer than the powerbase 70 cable and offered more setup flexibility.
The charger for the battery is junk though; died the first day.

Comments about Switronix PB70B PowerBase 70 (Battery Pack Only):
Runs my Torch LED light for hours. Has battery level LED's on the side. I'm docking one star because the plug is poorly implemented and somewhat difficult to connect. Not a huge problem, it's just a little finicky.

Comments about Switronix PB70B PowerBase 70 (Battery Pack Only):
Totally awesome. Has a lot of charge right out the box. Only one p-tap, but the cord I bought for it gives you another one, and when you get the plate for your camera it gives you two more. Great bang for buck.
