The Watson Pro 14.4V 98Wh Micro V-Mount Battery combines functionality with a small form factor. Weighing only 1.1 lb, it's smaller and lighter than full-size 98Wh V-mount batteries but delivers up to 10A to power professional cameras and LED lights. The compact design solves the problems of weight and space and makes this battery a suitable choice for mobile and gimbal applications.

The battery offers multiple integrated accessory ports, including USB-C and USB-A, for powering and charging mobile devices, tablets, and laptops while you're on a shoot. A D-Tap port with a 14.4V output allows you to power a light or monitor simultaneously with your camera, or to power the camera itself. When you're ready to recharge the battery, you can use an optional V-mount charger or use the D-Tap, USB-C, or micro-USB ports to connect a power source.

A backlit LCD screen on the front of the battery activates at the press of a check button and confirms the remaining battery capacity and output voltage. A built-in intelligent control circuit protects against damage caused by current, voltage, temperature, or short-circuiting, ensuring safer operation.

Compact Design with 10A Output
The 98Wh Micro V-Mount Battery (14.4-14.8V) fits onto a standard V-mount plate and supports up to 10A of continuous draw from professional cameras, lights, and monitors that you would normally power with a full-size V-mount battery.
Multiple USB Connections
Phones and laptops can get drained during lengthy shoots. To keep you in touch and able to check messages and mail, the integrated USB-C and USB-A ports let you power and charge USB devices like laptop computers, smartphones, and tablets during your shoot.
D-Tap Connector
For added functionality, the battery is outfitted with a D-Tap port to power accessories like monitors or lights, whether independently or at the same time as your camera.
Backlit LED Status Display
A check button activates the backlit LCD screen and shows remaining battery capacity and output voltage, allowing you to prevent unexpected surprises that could interrupt your workflow.
Charging Options
The compact battery can be charged via an optional V-mount charger or using the D-Tap, USB-C, or micro-USB ports.
Intelligent Control Circuit
A built-in intelligent control circuit protects against damage caused by current, voltage, temperature, or short-circuiting.

These power plants last an entire 5 hour livestream where the FP batteries required a change out at the most inconvenient times

Favorite battery. Smaller and lighter than others I own and easy to mount on rails - but I prefer handing from my belt.

Love this battery on my cinema rigged Sony FX3. Light weight and great form factor, I pass power by usb-c to the FX3, run D-tap to my monitor and charge my wireless receiver for audio all at the same time.

Clever design and pick for RED Komodo owners

By Steven
Rated 5 out of 5
Date: 2022-01-01

The only compact footprint battery I found with a USB Type C port. It also has USB A, microUB and D-Tap. It is only slightly bigger overall that the IDX micro model. But the Watson allows me to quickly top off my laptop, drone and Tentacle Sync E or Track E during a break with USB C and my SONY A6400 via microUSB.. The USB A port powers my iPhone with the OEM lightning cable when it needs it. The other highlight is that it lasted 4:08 hours before it was depleted and the Komodo with WiFi ON and screen brightness set to 50% lost power. It was an endurance test to see how long 98Wh could since I couldn't find real-world info anywhere. While filming I just glance at the built in screen and see how much power it has left. There are also 4 leds to indicate the charge level. Finally its weight and size are great at counterbalancing the lens upfront. I shot with a SIGMA 18-35 T2 for a continuous 24h last weekend and the rig felt great with 8Sinn cage + Nato Rail Top Pro handle. 10A continuous max draw. I haven't had to draw more so far the way I use my gear. Highly recommended.

I recently bought two of these and have not been disappointed. I charge them with my MBP's power supply and it's been reliable and fast to refuel. The USB-C in/out is killer, as are the other ports. They're lightweight but the build quality feels rock solid. I have zero gripes about this battery.

Very slick but not enough current for Sony FX3/30

By Ryan
Rated 3 out of 5
Date: 2023-01-28

The Sony FX3/30 wants 9v at 3a. This is limited to 9v at 2a. I thought the 10a total output capability would be enough but turns out I need to read my spec sheets more carefully. Bought this battery specifically for the USB C output that I thought said PD worthy. It is not. I have to buy a D tap to dummy battery with a built in regulator to make this work properly with my cameras.

It can however it only has 1 D-tap on it which can either power the camera or the Desview 7 monitor. you will need to purchase a D-tap splitter or a V mount with an additional D-tap to power all of these devices.
