Which SmallRig battery is right for your production?
✅ For demanding outdoor professional cinema and video production: SmallRig X221 (4985)
The SmallRig X221 (4985) is the most advanced V-Mount battery in the SmallRig catalog at Galaxy Andorra: 221Wh capacity with high-density LG cells, IP54 dust and splash protection, and a drop-resistant casing from 1.5 meters with eight reinforced silicone corners and metal sides. The 2" touchscreen with anti-glare coating displays the charge level, temperature, and status of each port in real time. The SmallGoGo app allows you to monitor and control the battery remotely from your smartphone. With eight independent ports —two D-Tap, two USB-C (140W PD), one USB-A, and two DC barrel—it simultaneously powers a cinema camera, monitor, wireless transmission, and motorized focus without interference between circuits. A full charge takes 2.5 hours via USB-C PD 3.1. For operators working in rainy, dusty, or demanding shooting environments where power reliability is paramount, the X221 is the ultimate investment.
✅ For compact rigs and run & gun operators: SmallRig VB99 Pro Mini (4292)
The SmallRig VB99 Pro Mini (4292) is 70% the size of a standard V-Mount battery while maintaining 99Wh of capacity and adding bidirectional charging up to 100W via USB-C . Its key advantage over most V-Mount batteries on the market is its direct BP outputs, allowing it to power mirrorless and DSLR cameras without the need for an additional V-Mount plate. It also features 8V and 12V DC outputs, USB-C, USB-A, and D-Tap. The integrated BMS chip with PD, QC, and PPS protocols ensures compatibility with most fast chargers on the market. For operators working with compact camera setups using BMPCC, Sony FX3, or Atomos monitors, where every gram and centimeter counts, the VB99 Pro Mini offers the most reliable capacity-to-size ratio in the SmallRig range.
✅ For input configurations with standard V-Mount: SmallRig VB99 Mini (3580B)
The SmallRig VB99 Mini (3580B) is the entry-level option in the SmallRig V-Mount ecosystem: a compact 99Wh battery with D-Tap, USB-C, and USB-A outputs for powering your camera, monitor, and accessories simultaneously. Its lightweight design makes it an excellent backup battery for long days of shooting where you're switching between two batteries, or as a first V-Mount for operators transitioning from conventional camera battery systems to a more professional, centralized power supply.
✅ For photographers and videographers with Sony Alpha cameras: SmallRig Kit NP-FZ100 (3824B)
The SmallRig Kit NP-FZ100 (3824B) includes two 2040mAh batteries with a full decoding chip and a dual charger with an LCD screen that displays voltage, current, and charged capacity in real time. The charger features an integrated USB-A cable and a USB-C input, allowing it to be charged from a wall adapter, car charger, or power bank. It is compatible with the Sony Alpha A7 V, A7 IV, A7R V, A7S III, A7C II, A6700, A9 III, and all other models that use the NP-FZ100 battery type. The decoding chip ensures that the camera recognizes the battery without any warning messages on compatible models. For extended photo or video sessions where having two simultaneously charged batteries is a real operational advantage, this kit is the most complete solution on the market in its price range.
SmallRig batteries at Galaxy Andorra — professional power supplies with official warranty
SmallRig is a leading brand in camera accessories and power systems for professional video production. Its battery range covers two complementary segments: the standard V-Mount for cinema, corporate video, and broadcast production, and camera-type batteries like the NP-FZ100 for the Sony Alpha ecosystem. In both cases, SmallRig incorporates fast-charging and intelligent management technologies that, until recently, were exclusive to specialized power brands with significantly higher price points.

Its triple protection and touchscreen with app make managing the power status as convenient on a professional set as on a remote location.

Its ability to power the camera directly without an additional power plate eliminates weight and complexity from the rig.

All models are available at Galaxy Andorra with an official SmallRig warranty and shipping to Spain, France, and Portugal.
Frequently Asked Questions about SmallRig Batteries
What is the difference between a V-Mount battery and an NP-FZ100 type battery?
V-mount batteries are the standard for centralized power in professional video production: they offer high capacity (99Wh or more), multiple simultaneous output ports, and mount directly onto the video camera or a V-mount plate on the rig. They simultaneously power the camera, monitor, LED lights, and other accessories from a single source. NP-FZ100 batteries are camera-specific batteries designed to fit the battery compartment of Sony Alpha cameras. They are smaller and lighter, with lower capacity, but fully integrated into the camera. At Galaxy Andorra, we stock both types from the SmallRig range.
Are SmallRig NP-FZ100 batteries compatible with the latest Sony Alpha cameras?
SmallRig NP-FZ100 (3824B) batteries include a full decoding chip and are compatible with the Sony Alpha range that uses this type of battery: A7 V, A7 IV, A7R V, A7S III, A7C II, A6700, and A9 III, among others. On models with firmware 2.01 or later (such as the A7R V), the camera may display a warning when it detects a third-party battery, even though the battery is functioning correctly and delivering the expected power. We recommend verifying specific compatibility with your model at the time of purchase with the Galaxy Andorra team.
What is the V-Mount standard and why do professional videomakers use it?
The V-Mount standard (also called V-Lock) is the most widespread high-capacity battery system in professional video production, broadcast, and film. It allows high-capacity batteries (99Wh, 150Wh, 221Wh, or more) to be mounted directly onto the video camera or rig using a V-mount plate, ensuring a secure and vibration-free connection. Its main advantage is the ability to power multiple devices simultaneously from a single battery via the D-Tap, USB-C, and DC ports on SmallRig models, eliminating the need for separate batteries for each rig accessory.
Do SmallRig V-Mount batteries require a V-Mount plate for use?
It depends on the model. The SmallRig VB99 Pro Mini (4292) features a direct BP output, allowing you to power compatible cameras and monitors without an additional V-Mount plate, thus reducing the rig's weight and complexity. The SmallRig X221 (4985) and the VB99 Mini (3580B) use a standard V-Mount and require a separate V-Mount plate to attach to the camera or rig. Consult with the Galaxy Andorra team to identify the most suitable configuration for your system.
Can I charge SmallRig V-Mount batteries with a USB-C power bank?
Yes, on models that support USB-C charging. The SmallRig X221 (4985) supports USB-C PD 3.1 charging up to 140W , and the VB99 Pro Mini (4292) supports bidirectional USB-C charging up to 100W . Both are compatible with high-power power banks that support the PD protocol. For the fastest charging, it is recommended to use a power bank or charger that supports the PD protocol at the maximum power output specified for each model.
