Features 30% more stamina than the NP-F960 rechargeable battery pack.
I bought this AFTER spending half a day shooting with a Sony FX1 in very cold weather with my NP-F960 battery. Between the pausing and occasional power down, the battery survived this bitter cold day with LOTS of juice left over. So imagine what this NP-F970 can do for you.
I have the NP-F960 clone battery, and it isn't holding a charge as good in storage.
My only beef is waiting for it to fully charge. If you are a serious videographer, or use the Sony HVL20DW2 20 watt video light, this is a definite "must have". |

| For a large camcorder like my Sony FX7 this adds nice rear "ballast" for balance and EIGHT HOURS taping time! I use it for long shoots and the small one that comes with the cam for short home stuff. |
If you need to be out all day, this works

300 plus minutes of recording time (without LCD). I still got several hours with the LCD, backlight on.
For when you are out all day, this is a good long lasting battery.
On the HDR-FX1 I found it preferable to the smaller and lighter battery as it helped provide a touch extra rear weighting. That helped balance when using the camcorder at hip height for me. I can't say I noticed the extra weight as an issue when using at shoulder height, though I didn't have it on my shoulder for long periods at a time. |
Long Lasting, must have for DCRVX2100 and others

I purchased two of these over the past couple of years to go with the two Sony DCR-VX2100's that I used as a wedding videographer. No matter what wedding or event I shot at, this battery did great - and I never once had to change batteries, even when shooting the long 8+ hour daylong events. I would also take one of these with us for our vacations, and would not need to recharge the battery for the whole 5+ day trips, of course just using the camera an hour or so each day.
Great purchase and "investment" in these long lasting batteries. |
Excellent battery
