My take on the new Smallrig V-Mount Battery Solution.
Something like this is incredibly useful for many cameras that can run on V-Mount or USB Power that need extended run time.
In the case of the R5C its mandatory to unlock some of its higher recording modes, and to get battery life that is acceptable.
While I had already built my own, I had to pick this up as well to see if it was better, and this video covers my thoughts and hopefully helps you decide if you want to get this.
