How long will this battery last with an R5c?
Asked by: Nikolas
The run time of the Canon EOS R5 C Mirrorless Cinema Camera on the SmallRig x Caleb Pike VB212 Mini V-Mount Battery will depend on your usage, settings, and the accessories attached. Generally one would expect around 5-7.5 hours of run time under normal conditions. Higher qualities, resolutions, frame rates, and additional accessories can reduce this run time.

Can I use this to power nanlite forza 60Bi,300Bi,500Bi ?
Asked by: Abdulrahman
The SmallRig x Caleb Pike VB212 Mini V-Mount Battery can be used to power lights, in addition to cameras. The Forza 60Bi could use one of these batteries, while the Forza 300Bi would require two. However, the battery would not work for the Nanlite Forza 500Bi. To power the Forza 500Bi, I would suggest B&H # NABTV26V489.
