If you're a casual or professional photographer using one of Sony's digital or DSLR cameras, I'm sure you know the pain of carrying the proprietary charging adapter to top up the NP-FZ100 battery that powers most of the company's cameras . However, Nitecore is a company that aims to help you get rid of Sony chargers for good with its new UFZ100 rechargeable battery for Sony cameras that has a built-in USB-C charging port. Check out the details below.
NO MORE INTERNAL BATTERY DRAIN! FX3, A7SIII, A7IV, FX30! USB-C PD mini V-Mount from ZGCine
Nitecore recently announced a new rechargeable battery pack for Sony cameras ranging from the Sony A7 III to the A9 series, which comes with a built-in USB-C port. Yes, you read that right! The Nitecore UFZ100 is essentially a replacement for Sony's NP-FZ100 battery pack that powers its cameras, including the Sony A7 III, A7R III, A9 II, A6600, FX3 and more.
The NP-FZ100 battery comes with a capacity of 2,280mAh, you'll need to charge it with its proprietary charging adapter if you're a hardcore photographer. But with Niteocore's UFZ100, you can take it out of the camera and charge it up with a USB-C cable. So you no longer need to carry Sony's bulky proprietary charger in your bag to charge the camera battery. The UFZ100 comes with a capacity of 2,250 mAh, which is slightly less than the Sony NP-FZ100.
The company has also included an LED indicator to help users easily check battery levels. Users can press a button, which is right next to the USB-C port, to control the LED indicator.
