**UPDATE MAY-31-2023**The same day I posted my original review complaining that the D-Tap socket pulled out, they contacted me directly and even though the old unit technically still functioned (despite being broken), they sent me a whole NEW battery of the exact same type for FREE and even paid for express shipping so that I would have it the next morning. Ive honestly treated this new battery harsher than the original one by far and it has held up fine. I definitely just had a defective unit. If you also have a defective one of any of their products, just reach out to them through here and they will definitely make it right. I have honestly never been the recipient of better customer service in my life. Big Smallrig fan from here on out.-----Original Review (March, 2023): I'm not rough with my camera equipment. If anything I'm too careful with it. I charge everything religiously. This thing barely ever needs charging, after a full day of shooting it has never dropped below 65% and that's from 100%, powering a Sony a7siii, Atomos Ninja V, a Ulanzi LED, and a Tascam DR-701D Audio Recorder all at once the entire time. It's speak, lightweight, the interface is crisp and detailed/informative, and the hardware feels very solid.Until it isn't. I never yanked out any D-Tap cables or jerked thing around, but one day last week just calmly removing a D-Tap (in this case the locking D-Tap for the Atomos Ninja V), the entire female socket inside the Sony 99 just sorta.. slipped out of the body of the battery. Theres no discernable way to open the battery to fix it, and I've repaired plenty of laptops so this type of thing isn't very foreign to me. Just not sure how to go about dealing with this now as the D-Tap was pretty vital to my work flow. I could "make do" but for this price, we aren't supposed to have to.Hopefully I can get a refund or at least have it replaced, but I'm not counting on it. Looks like I'll be going back to Anton Bauer's.

I’m really impressed with these batteries (I’ve purchased three of them in total, now). They hold charge very well and the v-mount makes it very easy to attach the battery to a camera using a v-mount bracket/plate. It’s allowed me to conveniently supply my R5C with all day power in a run and gun style package.

I was amazed at how long this kept my devices powered… I’m planning to get an additional one to keep on hand as a battery backup for my personal devices on camping trips or during power outages. Amazing and more than worth it!!! Wow!🤩
