Sony NPFZ100.CE Z Series Rechargeable Battery Pack - Black

Product Information

On the other hand, if you want to save money and don't mind changing batteries more often, then the Powerextra batteries might suit your needs and offer you value for money. Sliding it into a Sony A7 III, A7 IV and any other Sony camera compatible with the NP-FZ100 format, you’ll find no compatibility issues or warning messages.

Thanks to the UK going into lockdown, we have only used them for one wedding so the batteries have only been charged once.

The 2400mAh capacity, slightly higher than the Sony original, helps to extend shooting capabilities, allowing a few extra shots or minutes of video. In December 2020 we purchased two Sony A7siii cameras for wedding videography, complete with brand new batteries.

The SmallRig NP-FZ100 isn’t just a direct replacement for the Sony original; it brings new functionalities. Yes it means we have to pay a bit more but the extra latitude that affords us is worth it in our opinion.The reason I did this is because this charger has a special feature that shows how much energy it has delivered to each battery. So I have gotten used to putting in a fresh battery during the wedding breakfast when everyone is eating. But is 'OK' good enough for you when you are working in a high pressure environment such as a wedding?

Over the course of a wedding day, videographers would need to carry less batteries, charge less and swap less if using genuine Sony batteries. A part or whole of software/services installed into or accessible through the product may be changed, discontinued, removed, suspended, or terminated without notice. But what really sets it apart is the USB Type-C charging, making it an extremely convenient power solution.

In our tests, it outshines Sony’s offering with a higher capacity and no annoying compatibility warnings, which can often affect third-party batteries. Since many Sony owners do not use the original Sony BC-QZ1 charger, instead using third party chargers. SmallRig’s NP-FZ100 battery for Sony arrives as a direct replacement for the Sony NP-FZ100; however, unlike many other third-party replacements, the SmallRig offering betters the original in every way. The unique light blue hue makes it stand out and easy to locate in your kit bag, even in lower light conditions.
