Reduced rating

Besides finding out you need a specialcharger , even though it says it works on my Fs7 and EX3 the cameras recognize it for a moment then starts low battery alarm even with 75+% indicator. BTW, the minimal manual shows a USB ( like the Watson for charging), but it is only a button to check status. Returning it and getting Watson BP-U100.

Great Value

I bought this Shape BP-U65 battery kit for a Sony FX6 Camcorder and it works great. Used only one battery for an entire day of shooting. This is a great value for the money. So Far so good! I just brought two more kits to be used with my other Sony FX6 cameras.

does it correctly display what is left of battery on the screen on FX6?
Asked by: Fabian
Hello Fabian, Thank you for your question! When installed behind the FX6, our BP-U65 will correctly display the amount of minutes left on the screen of the FX6, in the top right corner. It is accurate with the Sony FX6. We hope this helps and we thank you for your interest in our products. The SHAPE team.

Will these batteries work with Sony FX6?
Asked by: Renars
It is important to note while they do work the time remaining on the actual FX6 screen is not accurate at all. This is unacceptable to me and I will be returning.
