SmallRig VB99 Mini V-Mount
If I tell you that there is a lightweight battery, which takes up less space, with personal intelligence that provides fast charging with overvoltage control, thus providing multiple protection against overcharging, short circuit, and overvoltage. A dream battery, right?!
Rejoice you guys; SmallRig now realizes your dream. Indeed, SmallRig recently launched its new product, the SmallRig VB99 Mini V-Mount. As the name suggests, The SmallRig VB99 Mini V-Mount is a mini battery kit designed to take the burden off the film industry. The VB series is approximately 30% smaller than traditional V-mount batteries.
Characteristically speaking, the VB99 Mini V-Mount is compact and light to carry. It is equipped with an intelligent BMS (a device that manages and monitors equipment) for efficient and safe use. This highly integrated BMS chip takes up less space while supporting the multiple fast charging protocols and 45W (maximum) USB-C PD bidirectional fast charging.
With an efficient OLED screen for precise control and, above all, to keep an eye on the battery’s operating status at all times. And that’s not all; it has multiple interfaces for high compatibilities, such as a camera, camcorder, monitor, wireless video transmitter, lighting fixtures, and more. Rechargeable and stable. This will be another asset in your creator’s tool bag. For more information, I suggest you visit the SmallRig Website.
