About this deal

First, the Direct USB Type-C charging is one of the biggest innovations for this battery type that I have come across. The way I conducted the test was firstly to completely drain both batteries by simply recording 4K video until both were exhausted. In a full of third-party battery alternatives, the SmallRig NP-FZ100 sets itself apart through innovation and practicality. Payment options through Affirm are subject to an eligibility check and are provided by these lending partners: affirm. A point to note is that, unlike some other third-party batteries, you won’t get the warning messages that can often plague other brands.

One option I just thought of is to use the original Sony battery you got with the camera and have one PowerExtra as the second battery. Out of the box, the SmallRig NP-FZ100 feels robust and well-made, a match to the quality you’d expect from Sony’s batteries. But is 'OK' good enough for you when you are working in a high pressure environment such as a wedding?Sony has always urged caution regarding counterfeit rechargeable battery packs, and we strongly recommend you only purchase and use genuine Sony rechargeable battery packs. Over time I will update my findings and further thoughts once we are allowed to photograph and video weddings once more in the UK.

It slots into the camera, in this case, a Sony A7 III, as you’d expect, with the dimensions and designs exactly matching that of the branded version. However, where the SmallRig version excels is in its higher 2400mAh capacity, compared to the 2280mAh found in Sony’s own NP-FZ100, offering extra minutes for both video and stills.

Though some might find it an acquired taste, this unique colour scheme serves a practical function, making it easy to identify among the sea of black batteries in your kit bag and easier to pick out in low light.

A part or whole of software/services installed into or accessible through the product may be changed, discontinued, removed, suspended, or terminated without notice.Once the UK restrictions are lifted in late June, we will have lots of back to back weddings where extra batteries would help reduce our need to recharge between weddings. The Direct USB Type-C charging is the real winning and a feature that genuinely streamlines workflow.

Personally I think I'd rather just pay a bit more and have the longer life of an original Sony battery. When I switched both cameras on, the Powerextra battery showed 100% charge but the Sony only showed 87%.Due to this, we urge you to be cautious when purchasing any Sony rechargeable battery pack, including the NP-FZ100, and to make sure that you are not purchasing a counterfeit battery.
