Stock Available: 25
Product Description
The Newell BP-V47 SLIM V-Mount battery is engineered specifically for professional cinema cameras, particularly RED systems, with advanced SMBus protocol support for seamless communication. This compact 3,200mAh lithium-ion battery delivers professional-grade performance in a lightweight, stackable design that's perfect for handheld and gimbal work. With Quick Charge 3.0 USB-A charging, D-Tap connectivity, and a built-in LED torch, it's designed for the demands of modern filmmaking workflows.
This battery is ideal for professional cinematographers, RED camera operators, and filmmakers who prioritise lightweight equipment without sacrificing reliability. Whether you're shooting handheld sequences, operating gimbal systems, or working with compact camera rigs, the BP-V47 SLIM provides the power density and professional features required for high-end productions.
Professional cinema cameras like RED systems require batteries that can communicate detailed power information for accurate runtime calculations and system monitoring. Standard V-Mount batteries often lack this capability, leading to unreliable power readings and potential workflow disruptions. Additionally, the weight and bulk of traditional batteries can compromise camera balance and operator comfort during extended handheld work.
The BP-V47 SLIM addresses these challenges through its SMBus protocol support, which enables full communication with professional cameras for precise power monitoring and system integration. The compact, lightweight design maintains perfect camera balance whilst the stackable system allows efficient storage and transport of multiple batteries. The built-in LED torch provides practical illumination for equipment setup in low-light conditions, whilst Quick Charge 3.0 technology ensures rapid device charging between takes.
