Core SWX PowerBase EDGE Link Reviews

Only one good thing about this battery

By Sevan
Rated 3 out of 5
Date: 2025-02-23

The only good thing about this battery is the form factor. Works great with my Panasonic S1 rig. The battery going to sleep issue and needing to wake it up with a paper clip is a big big flaw. Also, the documentation is terrible...I have no idea which of the two D-tap ports I can use to charge this thing or what the max current input is.

Long battery life for filming wrestling PPVs

By Joseph
Rated 5 out of 5
Date: 2024-04-01

I film indie wrestling shows around the country, and these battery packs give us 8 hours of usage on the Panasonic AG-CX10 using the AG-VBR dummy battery adapter. The mounting plate is also hot swappable, and has a fake quarter underneath for unscrewing the camera, which makes teardown after a shoot a breeze. I use this pack in combination with a monopole and a Ulanzi Claw quick release between the pole and the EDGE for our roaming cameras. It's light-weight enough for the camera guys to hold for hours without getting fatigued. They do drain a bit in the stand-by mode (5% over 3-4 days), so I recommend topping it off before a shoot. Also, the full power-save mode is annoying, but I just keep a spare USB battery pack/120 adapter along to charge it (or a SIM card tool on my keychain to push the reset button on the PTAP). It'd be nice if they included a sim tool in the base along with the fake quarter.

Does the bottom of the unit have a single screw hole for tripod plate attachment, or 2? I can't believe a professional product would only have a single screw hole, allowing camera to twist...?
Asked by: I am
The Core SWX Powerbase EDGE LINK 70Wh Battery Pack (V-Mount) (B&H# COPBELINK) features a V-mount male lock on the bottom or you may use the 1/4" female thread with a hole for a locator pin to prevent twisting once mounted with a compatible mount.

Does the 70Wh version have a solid mount ...

Does the 70Wh version have a solid mount plate/camera/tripod connection or is there any jiggle at all? Is the plate plastic?
Asked by: Tim
Plate on the 70Wh version is plastic and cheap, no real jiggle but this can and will slip out of the quick release with the right angle and force. Please read the two lengthy reviews I left for this product plus one that another guy wrote about this same issue.
