SmallRig V-Mount Battery Mount Plate Reviews

Nice Battery Capacity Solution

By Aaron
Rated 4 out of 5
Date: 2025-11-16

I needed to add battery capacity to my mirrorless camera for long interviews. I originally thought the Cineback would be the best solution. I later found the Smallrig battery plate to be a better fit. I use a universal cheese plate as the base and an Arca Swiss Clamp for quick release of the camera. It is a smaller footprint than a Cineback and I still have the screen protector as well.

Will this V-Mount battery adapter work with a Fujifilm X-H2? I want to create a rig using it and a five-inch monitor.
Asked by: David
The SmallRig V-Mount Battery Plate BH #SM5228 has 15 mm rod mounting and would require that your rig has 15 mm rods to attach the mount to. Also, I will list a power cable below with a dummy battery: IndiPRO Tools D-Tap to FUJIFILM NP-W235 Dummy Battery Cable (24") BH # INDTNP235 Camera cage from Smallrig for the X-H2: SmallRig Camera Cage for FUJIFILM X-H2 & X-H2S BH #SM3934B Baseplate with 15mm rod support: SmallRig Tripod Mounting Kit with 2 x Plates and 2 x 15mm Rod Clamps BH #SM1798
