SmallRig VB99 Pro Reviews

Great battery, but heads up for Komodo and KX users

By Etienne
Rated 4 out of 5
Date: 2025-05-05

This is a pretty good battery. Light, easy to use. The issue I have with it is the D-tap port being on the right side. I operate a Komodo X regularly, and if you run D-tap to a monitor it will block your wireless antenna. It will also block the SDI output entirely unless you have a right-angle D-tap.

These things just dont last.

I had high hopes for this battery, but unfortunately, it didn’t live up to expectations. After just a few months of moderate use, performance started to degrade, with noticeable drops in capacity and inconsistent power delivery. The build quality feels decent, but that doesn’t matter much if the battery can’t hold up over time. For the price, I expected better longevity and reliability. Disappointing overall—I’ll be looking at other brands for my next purchase. Smallrig is great for cages, and what not which dont degrade but I'm going to stay away from the batteries.

The run time of the Canon EOS R5 C Mirrorless Cinema Camera on the SmallRig VB99 Pro Mini V-Mount Battery will depend on your settings, usage, and the accessories attached. Generally, one would expect the battery to last about 2.5-3.5 hours under normal conditions. High quality resolutions and frame rates will reduce run times.
