SMALLRIGFoldable V Mount Battery Plate, Tool-Free, All-in One Mounting Solution for Mirrorless/DSLR Cameras, with Modular Plate for Arca, Compact Camera Video Rig, for NEEWER V Mount Battery PS099E

I picked up this SmallRig Foldable V-Mount Battery Plate for my Sony FX3 before heading to NAB 2025, and it performed great on day one. It connects solidly to the bottom of the camera and feels super sturdy — definitely a well-built piece of gear. That said, with a fully rigged setup and V-mount battery, the added weight was a bit much for handheld use over multiple days, so I went lighter for the rest of the show. But if you’re in a studio environment or using a tripod, this is an excellent solution for extended power without compromise. One less thing to worry about on set!

Excellent alternative to Rod mounted battery holder. Saves space and weight. Clever design

I love this thing, paired with the fx3 cage it’s freaking awesome I can build/breakdown my rig so much faster than before. Also the little chest pad is super useful for handheld shooting but easy to remove when it’s not needed. I leave my tripod plate attached so i can just snap it all together real fast and start shooting. I haven’t had issues with the joint like others have. I recommend it to my friends.

I own the original version of the Smallrig V-Mount plate which I think is one of the best products Smallrig has ever designed and produced. It's the perfect solution for building compact cinema rigs using cameras like a Canon R5C or a Sony FX3/30. The 4064B update version only improves on the already excellent original version. Three notable changes/improvements-- There are fewer 1/4-20 mounting points on the battery mounting plate. I don't know what this change accomplishes, but since those mounting points probably don't get used a ton, I don't think it'll affect many people upgrading to the new version.- The twist knob that locks the folding hinge in place is now a more ergonomic thumb screw, instead of the older round knob. It makes locking and unlocking the unit after folding or unfolding it much easier.- the square Arca-Swiss quick release mounting point at the bottom is now removable, allowing users to mount their own quick release solution.Just as with the original, the unit is well-made and solid, and works perfectly. Highly recommended.

Very versatile product, it dose save me a lot of hassle, it a professional tool to have it on your videography arsenal.

Works great for my Nikon Z6III video rig. Holds a large V-mount battery to power both camera and monitor. Connects well to my SmallRig camera cage. Well balanced.

great quality, just as expected

This flexibility is a significant advantage for anyone working with diverse gear.One minor downside is that the plate can feel a bit bulky when paired with smaller DSLR cameras, but this is a minor inconvenience compared to the overall functionality it provides. Additionally, while the plate is generally secure, I did notice a slight wobble when using heavier setups. Ensuring everything is tightly secured is essential to avoid this issue.Overall, the SmallRig V-Mount Battery Plate (4505) is a versatile and functional piece of equipment that meets the needs of various shooting scenarios.
