SmallRig NP-F970 USB-C Rechargeable Battery Reviews

So Much Value For The Price

By Charles
Rated 5 out of 5

These things are insane. I use them on my Magewell Director Mini and they go for so dang long. They also have a USB-C out (the same port you charge them through) so I can charge my phone or other devices while I simultaneously power my encoder. Incredibly reliable, super long lasting, and the price in my opinion is fantastic for how functional they are.

Its a battery; worked right out of the box.

The Panasonic DMW-DCC18 DC Coupler for DC-GH7 is only compatible with the Panasonic USB-C AC Power Adapter and Cable for DC-GH7, BH #PADMWAC11, and so would not be able to be powered by the SmallRig L-Series/NP-F970 USB-C Rechargeable Camera Battery (Black).
