Okay, let me just say this thing is a BEAST. I’ve been using it with my Sony A7 IV for about a month now, and wow—no more battery anxiety during weddings or live streams. The continuous power is *chef’s kiss*.
The build quality? Solid. Like, ‘I-dropped-it-once-and-nothing-happened’ solid. Fits perfectly in the battery slot, even with my SmallRig cage (which, let’s be real, is already tight). Zero overheating issues so far, which is wild because my camera usually turns into a toaster after 30 minutes of 4K.
Also, HUGE shoutout for no annoying ‘battery not supported’ warnings. Sony really said ‘DIY or die’ with their dummy batteries, but SmallRig came through. The cable length (10.85ft!) is perfect for my janky studio setup where outlets are basically a myth.
Only quirk? After ~4 hours it goes ‘hey I’m tired’ and needs a quick unplug/replug to reset. Not a dealbreaker since I usually take breaks anyway, but good to know if you’re shooting an 8-hour corporate snoozefest.
10/10 would recommend to anyone who hates swapping batteries mid-shoot like it’s 2005.
