Paul Jonathan Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 Hey everyone, with the advent of the new compact-size V-mounts I was wondering what everyone's favorite brands are and if people can recommend anyone in particular? Requirements: - 95 or 98Wh, i.e. airline approved - D-Tap & USB Output - Compact dimensions & weight Also anyone come across a good USB-C to P-tap/D-tap Adapter? That would turn these V-mounts into a powerbank that could power pretty much anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anaconda_ Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 I use this one to power my P4K and it works great! https://www.photospecialist.com/nomis-nvm-95-v-mount-batterij-95wh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Mgee Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 I use the ones here. These batteries are rebranded MANY MANY times under different names. I bought a set from the UK and they work perfectly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JordanWright Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 Check out the Fxlion Nano One & Two. I got to see them at a trade show last year and they are incredibly small and can be charged via usb-c Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Jonathan Posted January 7, 2020 Author Share Posted January 7, 2020 @Anaconda_ the Nomis seem pretty bulky - I am looking for the new, more compact versions.. @Mike Mgee interesting - yes I've seen those around and the price looks pretty affordable! I currently have an offer to buy two Patona V-Mounts for 120 a piece, which would be even cheaper than the prices I am finding for the rebrands that you posted.. Gonna keep looking around. @JordanWright yes the Fxlion Nano Two looks amazing and I love the USB-C, however I can't seem to justify the significant markup just yet. The lowest I can find them at is 250, which is more than double what I would pay for ones without the USB-C. However they would negate the need for a USB-C to D-Tap adapter.. hmm 18 hours ago, Paul Jonathan said: Also anyone come across a good USB-C to P-tap/D-tap Adapter?

It's depth is a lot thinner than most batteries, but also the same length and width as most v-mounts. It depends where you want the compact to matter. You can easily put the Nomis in your back pocket for example, though I'm not sure if you can with the smaller ones. Some look like you could, but I can't test Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Jonathan Posted January 7, 2020 Author Share Posted January 7, 2020 Haha yes you're right, I wasn't quite specific ? I meant in the length and width dimension, not the depth. Found a D-Tap to USB-C adapter on Aliexpress btw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
