The bebob V98microC is the all-rounder of the VmicroC family. At 95 Wh it sits just below the 100 Wh air travel limit, making it the largest battery in the series you can fly with without airline approval. At 550 g and 48 mm deep, it is a good main battery for mid-size cameras and monitors, and a reliable choice for travel shoots.
Capacity and runtime
A rough rule of thumb: divide the capacity by your rig's power draw. A setup drawing 30 W runs for about three hours on 95 Wh, one drawing 50 W for a little under two hours. Maximum load is 10 A. If your camera and accessories need more, go with the V150microC.
Air travel
The battery is UN 38.3 tested for air transport. Since it's under 100 Wh, the battery goes in your carry-on, either on the camera or as a spare. You can bring up to 20 spares of this size per person, but never in checked luggage. Cover the contacts with tape or keep the battery in its own bag.
On set
Supported cameras from ARRI, Sony, Blackmagic Design, RED and Fujifilm show the remaining capacity directly. The USB-C port charges your phone or tablet during the shoot, and the twist D-Tap powers a monitor or wireless transmitter at the same time.
