Our editorial take on the SmallRig VB99 Pro Mini V-Mount Battery (Black)
The SmallRig VB99 Pro Mini V-Mount Battery is a compact 99Wh lithium-ion power source designed for professional video and cinema applications. Its small dimensions and relatively low weight suggest suitability for setups where size and portability are key factors. The battery offers a range of power output options, including multiple USB ports (Type-A and Type-C) alongside more traditional D-Tap and DC barrel outputs, catering to a diverse set of modern filmmaking equipment.
With a 14A maximum draw, it can power high-demand devices, though users should note the specific voltage and amperage limits for each individual port. The inclusion of two USB-C ports, one of which supports 100W input and output, offers convenience for charging both the battery itself and compatible devices at speed. Its aluminum exterior indicates a focus on durability.
This battery appears positioned for creators seeking a versatile and portable power solution for smaller camera rigs, drones, gimbals, or as an auxiliary power source for various accessories, without the bulk of larger V-mount options. Its feature set aims to address common power needs in a compact form factor.
- Compact and lightweight design for portability
- Multiple output options including D-Tap, USB-C, USB-A, and DC barrel

- Durable, fireproof aluminum exterior
- Supports up to a 14A draw for demanding equipment
