Power Junkie by Blind Spot - Multi use NPF Battery Plate for filmmakers Using NP-F Batteries - Mirrorless or BMPCC Power - It's Also a npf Charger - Battery Plate with Industry Mount.

After 1.5 years using this power solution, thought I would update my review. The reason I stumbled on my review is that I am getting two more for additional camera setups. One on a gimbal and one stationary video B camera.I am just as sold on this as when I first reviewed it. It continues to be the power source on my primary A camera video rig. In studio I run all power to that rig through the power junkie by using a DC-in dummy Sony NP-FXXX rather than a battery. That is plugged into AC. In the field I just replace the dummy AC source with a real battery.It will keep my iPhone charged and camera running for several hours on one Sony NP-F9XX. I obviously keep additional batteries at hand in case I use too much power. I don't buy OEM Sony batteries. I use the nicest knockoffs I can get on Prime.Note, I only use original Sony batteries in my cameras when not using the power junkie.-------Outstanding power source for professional video production. Solid build and light weight. Performs the job of providing power longer and with easy battery changes. We bought this to power cameras (Sony a7Sii, A7, and A6300) with FP-Fxxx batteries. We use the smaller NP-F550, but you can use any battery in the series including the NP-F970. The advantages are; easy battery swap and battery life. There are adapters for virtually any model of DSLR and mirrorless camera. I purchased the adapter for NP-FW50 camera because we use a7 and a6000 series cameras. This is great for any video setup from run and gun to studio on sticks. There are other options out there which are more solidly built, etc. but for the price you can keep a couple of these in reserve in case one stops workIng. The accompanying photos are from a commercial video productions. If I had been running the f750 or f970 battery I would not have needed any battery swaps on the 4 hour job. The f550 is good for over 2 hours. Light enough to use on a6300 on Crane 2 gimbal stabilizer.

llevo mas de 5 años usandolo y nunca me ha fallado. gran producto.

I debated between 4 stars and 5 stars, but in the end, the limitations are my fault, not the product.If you use the NP-F570 6600mAh battery, the life on this is incredible. I have used it to power a Samsung Galaxy Note9 that is streaming over LTE for hours, and a Rode microphone concurrently with no issues. The unit is lightweight, compact, and with the 1/4" 20 mounting hole I have connected it to a cold shoe adapter.Now the downside. The Sony NP-F570 batteries have an output of 7.2V. So if you're going to power a device through the Sony battery using the 2.5mm DC port, you can't. So for a number of devices, such as Nikon cameras, this won't serve as an external power solution.One other thing to be aware of, it does have a USB-C port, however, that port is power input only. It is a great product for what it is, just be aware of the limitations. Had I realized the issue of 7.2V versus 12.0V I wouldn't have bought it, but that isn't the fault of Power Junkie, that is on me.

It's lightweight and works well with my Panasonic/Lumix S5. Had a couple long-form, interview style shoots where this baby came in handy. I'm actually about to buy another one for my other camera body.The only downside, and it's a small one, is when I use it as a phone charger it takes forever to charge my phone. But that's a random, tertiary use case.

The media could not be loaded. ***April 10th update***Received a replacement unit from Amazon and the issues mentioned below have not been duplicated in bench testing. The pins on the battery connector appear to stick out much further on this unit and have plenty of resistance in them so that they push properly into the female ports in the NPF battery for a more snug fit. I will now mount to a camera rig and continue testing but seems my first unit had some manufacturing defect. Can't wait to put this to use. Thank you Amazon for the quick replacement and Billy @ Blind Spot for the email correspondence about the issue.***April 7th update ***tried this into with several NP-F batteries of various sizes and the issue persists. Unusable for the intended purpose in this condition. Only reliable when stationary on a table or desk, any movement of the battery causes and break in power.***Original Review***Just received this yesterday and got to test it out today. It seemed to charge up my non-branded NP-F750/770 battery without any issues using a USB to USB-C cable and an iPad charger, however, when I went to test it to charge my camera i was having intermittent connectivity via the USB out to USB-C on mt camera or USB to Lighting cable on my iPhone. After fiddling with the unit for a few seconds I realised the issue was the the connection of the battery to the Power Junkie. The issue is that although the battery is held firmly in place by the battery removal latch there is still enough for wiggle room so laterally so that one of the pins fails to maintain connection to the battery port meaning you lose power. It appears pretty stable when not moving around much but mount this on a camera or rig and run and gun and teh weight of the battery will cause the lateral movement and you will disconnect the battery and lose power to your camera or other device which could be a devastating failure. I will try other batteries and see if this persists or if this is a problem of tolerances in construction. not s much an issue if you are augmenting an installed battery but if using via dummy battery this is a huge problem. Let's see if Blind Spot have a solution for this. Cheers.
