In professional video production, power is never just about electricity; it's the backbone of your set, the difference between capturing a moment or missing it. When deadlines are tight and locations unpredictable, a robust, flexible, and dependable V-Mount Battery can make all the difference. Enter the Newell BP-95WS V-Mount Battery with LCD Display: a solution tailored for creatives who simply cannot risk downtime.
Why V-Mount Batteries Matter in Modern Video Production
V-Mount batteries, also known as V-Lock batteries, are industry staples within film and television. Favoured for their high capacity, secure mounting, and compatibility with a broad range of professional equipment, V-Mount batteries like the Newell BP-95WS are vital for any production demanding mobility and reliability.
But beyond the obvious, what really sets the Newell BP-95WS apart is how it goes beyond being a mere battery. It evolves into a multi-device power hub, ensuring your cameras, accessories, and even laptops stay powered without interruptions.
Designed with Professional Demands in Mind
Production life is rarely straightforward. Whether you're documenting wildlife in the Karoo, handling live broadcasts, or switching between gear on a remote set, what you truly need is a battery you can trust. Feedback from professionals is unanimous: equipment should offer flexibility, give accurate power readouts, and just work; every time.
The Newell BP-95WS answers this need with:
- A generous 7000mAh/99Wh capacity for long runtimes.
- An intuitive LCD display showing charge levels and runtime estimates.
- Components rigorously tested for durability and reliability.
When you're miles from your vehicle, or hours deep into a shoot, knowing the precise status of your V-Mount Battery is nothing short of essential.
More Than a Battery; A Mobile Power Station
Traditional V-Mount batteries typically only power a camera via a single connector. The Newell BP-95WS, however, is a power centre designed for busy professionals needing to operate several devices simultaneously. With this battery in your kit, you can:
- Charge a laptop or mirrorless camera via the fast-charging USB-C (65W).
- Power wireless transmitters, lights, or recharge the battery itself using D-Tap.
- Top up smaller devices like wireless microphones and LED panels with the USB-A port.
- Securely attach to industry-standard V-Mount plates for cameras and monitors.
At just 550g, this lightweight unit cuts down your kit while enabling you to streamline your entire power workflow. No more juggling multiple chargers, converters, or bulky bricks. You stay nimble and focused on creativity, not cables.
