Sony NPF970 L Series Camcorder Battery for the DCRVX2100, HDRFX1, HDRFX7, HD1000U & HVRZ1U

I can't believe how cheap the Sony batteries are compared to JVC and they last way longer. This one lasts me over 200 min every time. With battery life this good I don't bother plugging in to AC power any more. I thought about getting an anton bauer rig but I think I'll get a couple more of these instead.

I'm a professional wedding videographer and batteries are something of a must-have. There's no excuse for having your camera plugged into an outlet via an extension cord - it's a tripping hazard and it just looks tacky. That's why if you're doing extended periods of filming you've got to have a really long-life battery. That's exactly what this battery delivers - about 715 minutes of battery life when you're recording. (That's just about 12 hours!) I use a Sony DCR-VX2100 professional video camera, so this battery is perfect! Get two!

Great addition to the battery that I have, know can shot in the field for an extended period of time. Purchased two of this item.

Just picked one of these up and I get great record time on my professional HD camcorder.

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.
