Review on 🔋 SMALLRIG Quick Release V-Lock Battery Plate - 2988 by Shane Grosland

If you're like me using a D/P tap camera and need the bare essentials to add a battery to your system, this is the perfect solution. I've bought others from Revain but all had too much play causing the batteries to rattle if you didn't buckle them on, they felt bigger or thicker than they should have been and quite frankly a complete disappointment , I was about to buy a special V-plate with clamps and all the bells and whistles. Luckily I saw this from Smallrig and I would also suggest a smaller version of this for consideration depending on your setup (https://www.amazon.com/SMALLRIG-V-Lock-Mount-Battery-Plate/dp/B08R6SZH89) . /ref=sr_1_4?dchild=1&keywords=SMALLRIG+V-LOCK+mount+battery+plate&qid=1617159769&sr=8-4). Get something like this =SMALLRIG +15mm+%2Caps%2C190&sr=8-3) and you'll have your rod solution in no time. There are many ways to get creative with this, unlike others the spacing between the mounting holes and vents on the sides makes it an almost universal option for cheeseboards etc. Solutions like this are usually custom made for their own products and some montages may be needed. It's low profile but extremely durable and well built, the latch is metal again unlike many similarly priced competitors and believe me you don't want this plastic part for anything other than the occasional use is. Also it just looks cool and feels good in hand which isn't a big deal but at the same time you're using this gear for creativity, I'm just guessing well designed gear is made by people like me actually using the creative gear themselves so it's just an added bonus if there's a certain aesthetic sensibility to things. I can also confirm that large batteries are very suitable for this and thanks to the small protrusions on the undersides there is almost no play, at least I have nothing to worry about, this was my main problem with other tablets that did not have terminals. Mini V-mounts like the FXLION, well this plate seems to have been designed for them, literally. So if you use them, this record is a no-brainer.
