A few things to point out the Smallrig VB55 is on sale for $179 not the VB99 which is $239. Also if you check a little closer on the Neewer you will see that if you press the power button twice you get a second screen showing the actual voltage and amp. draw from each port. I have the Neewer 99W which was $124 , $115 less than the Smallrig and about the same performance . Sorry but the winner in my opinion is the NEEWER!!
When the Neewer breaks after the first drop, you'll probably want to upgrade. ;) I can see where people would choose the Neewer over the SmallRig. Again, this is my opinion based on my use case. Your use case may be different. For the extra money, I like the stability and all the other features of the SR. I purchased the SR 99W for $169.99 and the 50W for $109. So the prices do drop that low. The Neewer seems to be sold for $125 which is their "sale" price on Amazon. Again, it's the build quality, weight, and size and that is why I chose the SR. Your uses/needs may be different. If you are looking for a budget v-mount, then the Neewer works fine.
It is worth noting that there are 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 threaded holes on the back plate of V-mount battery of SmallRig, which means that your installation method can be diversified, which is not available in neewer battery.
@@Ranger7Studios Well in that case the video should have contained drop attempts for both batteries. I own both and they are both fine. It depends on what you drop them onto and how hard they hit it.
objectively speaking, how did you come up with that conclusion, earlier you stated that the neewer was a little smalller, then you stated that the smallrig wins for having a much smaller form factor. the only other differnece is that the small rig will last alitle longer. Can you justify have a slightly smaller form factor and the battery lasting a little longer for a +100 price tag? i dont think so.
@@Ranger7Studios sorry it wrong but my point still stands - the only difference is that the small rig is a little smaller and will last a little longer, if that worth 100 more? You said in the video at first that small rig was little bit smaller but then you stated that one of the points you choose small rig is because it’s smaller.. objectively speaking why would you recommend something that barely includes any better specs for 100 more
@@jonathanfang9612 First off... I went with the SmallRig because of the build quality, size and weight. For my money... the SmallRig wins. I am in the process of going smaller and lighter. That is something I have talked about at nauseam in the past on this channel. So you might have missed that if this is the first video of mine that you are watching. The SmallRigs go on sale constantly for about $100 or so off, making them about the same price or closer to the Neewer's price. At the end of the video, I did go on to say, that the Neewer isn't bad if you are trying to save money or you don't care about any of the for mentioned qualifications. It's really the build quality that did it for me. I dropped it once and it split open and cracked. Now I have a broken V-mount. Luckily I was able to return it. Hope that clears things up.
this is a poor review, I came too looking for a better insight and got the same feeling. Just move on and dont argue with this rando, its his channel after all and its entitled to thatr opinion
