SmallRig VB99 PRO is the new upgraded version of the Original SmallRig VB 99 mini V-Mount. But is it worth the upgrade? Wait, it's the same price? A new battery with more ports and way more total power output than the original battery. The housing has been re-designed and the screen is more advanced and adds color to the display. Upgrades to the USB-C PD and USB-QC outputs. Increased charging speeds, and more. Links below:

Great setup. Have you tried powering BOTH the Atomos and the camera with the SmallRig V mount battery?

@CadenzFilms 3 месяца назад

Hope you get some credit. Just used your link to get the V99, Magnetic USB C and the cable. Thanks for the video. I was going with a Core SWX NANO Micro 98Wh. I do occasionally shoot with a RED, but my main personal camera is an fx3 so the USB power to the camera feature is a plus. Also the speed of the recharge was the overall selling point.

@CruSh19lo Месяц назад

@Superjeanmarc 4 месяца назад

Invaluable Ray. Thanks for this. Had a regular VB99 failed on me very recently (stopped charging from one day to the other). Wrote smallrig and they will send me a replacement unit. Wish they would send me the pro version.. but hey... :)

@SeanHarrison 5 месяцев назад

Thanks. They topped their own battery, and really refined it in the Pro version.

Regarding the original VB, if it splits those 9V, then that means I wouldn’t be able to power both the camera and an external monitor? Since the camera alone requires 8V think… or does that power split only happens on the usb ports? Because normally, for the camera I would use a dummy battery with the d-tap, while for the monitor I would use the dc. Or if I would split the d-tap, to power both the fx3 and the atomos ninja, would that work? Can the d-tap power both at the same time? I think I saw videos where people would power an entire rig from the d-tap (tilta ring + dji rs3 pro + fx3 + atomos ninja v), so I guess it works? On all of the above, I’m referring to the original vb99.

@RayValencia 4 месяца назад

Yes, it was just the USB ports I was explaining about the power split, but they improved that one the new model. Everything else should be good on the original VB. All the voltages are listed on the screen as you plug things into it. The D-Tap provides a ton of power. In some of my other rig videos, you will see me plugging in a D-Tap splitter and running the whole thing off 1 port too.

@RyanTrent 2 месяца назад

Is it true the pro version doesn’t turn off

@jok7837 3 месяца назад

To power a smallhd 5 inch monitor - which port is best to use 12v or 8v out? And what's the best cable from one of these ports to canon Lp6 dummy battery on the monitor?

@haroldfleckleburgproductions 29 дней назад

Also would love to know!

@thefreak809 4 месяца назад

Hey man, I'm running an A6700 and an Atomos Ninja V as the monitor. Is it safe to connect the Atomos Ninja V to the VB99 D-tap and the A6700 through a Smallrig dummy battery plugged into the 8V port of the VB99? It's getting a bit confusing

@RayValencia 4 месяца назад

It’s all safe with this battery. You have up to 100w Maximum you can output at one time.

i just hooked up my vmount to my fx30 to test how long it could record straight. i got over 3 hours but after like 45 mins my fx30 was making a high pitch squealing noise. Its not noticeable from a few feet away but is that normal with these cameras?

@RayValencia 5 месяцев назад

That sounds odd! Not normal to hear any high pitch noise coming from your camera. Hopefully, your fan isn't rattling. Never been dropped? I just got my FX3 back from Sony Pro Support for fixing my wobbly screen (after 3+ years of use), and they also cleaned all the gunk out of my Fan Vents. Could be something as simple as that, or something isnt right internally.

@BarefootMediaTV 5 месяцев назад

@@RayValencia no only used it a few times. the fan was on and running smooth but a weird squealing noise. I was assuming it was related to a vmount powering the cam through usbc but ill test again and a post some clips.

@RayValencia 5 месяцев назад

What V-mount were you using? I've been using mini v-mounts on this camera for years and haven't had that issue. Let me know when you post the video.

@BarefootMediaTV 5 месяцев назад

@@RayValencia the zgcine. i have a 50 and a 99. They dont give me an issue with my a7iv though i dont think its the batteries.

@RayValencia 5 месяцев назад

Ok, yeah those batteries work for me too. Hm, Have you tried different cables too? They could make noise if it's powering a 9V camera through a 5V cable. I have some cheap USB-C cables, and I have some that are rated for higher voltage too. If isn't that, it's gotta be something in the camera... 🫣

@EmreYazgin 4 месяца назад

I just bought one, worked fine for a few hours, then it started to show 0.8W draw even though nothing is hooked up, and also the power button doesn't work when i hold it. It won't turn off the screen. In fact the screen would stay on all the time. Also, the battery loses charge on its own slowly. It says 5 days something battery life left when nothing is plugged in. Anyone experienced this? Any solutions?

@EmreYazgin 3 месяца назад

UPDATE: Smallrig stepped in, they will send a replacement!! Great service!

@SupremeCinema901 4 месяца назад

On my FX6 I haven’t gotten to the point where I need v mounts yet.. I have 3 BPU90 batteries that go for like 5 hours each

@RayValencia 4 месяца назад

I work on lots of commercials and large productions that a crew works with my camera. An Audio guy has part on here, the AC has wireless video and Focus Motors, plus the monitor, etc. I’m kind of forced to add more power than an internal battery. I have like 6 of the BPU batteries, that just collect dust, lol!

None that I've been told about yet!

@sam78882 Месяц назад

@@RayValencia you are probably laughing at me but I was laughing at the Chinese Dude that has no idea what he was talking about thinking that he was stupid but when I did what he told me to clock more than 10 times so one VB99 battery version was 1.8 and the other older one was 1.6 but I told him I’ve never ever herd of a software update for a battery for a camera Drone Sony Lens ok I am aware of it . Noe I bought the new CORE NANOX 150 And it’s arriving on Monday where I saw many reviews about it it’s a USA 🇺🇸 based company most of items are made in Japan and minor things in China but I will never buy junk from SmallRig newer has the same as the VB99 for only $119.00 at Amazon where when I bought the SmallRig I paid $279.99 . But I will never touch there junk
