Lightweight V-Mount Batteries — Compact Fast Charge

V-Mount battery weight varies by capacity and design. Lightweight models like The Protean are engineered to minimize bulk while delivering 150Wh of usable power — making them suitable for handheld and gimbal rigs where weight balance is critical. Compact V-Mount batteries typically range from under 1 lb to around 2 lbs depending on configuration.

Yes. The Protean is specifically designed to meet TSA and airline carry-on regulations. It separates into two mechanically and electrically isolated 75Whr batteries, each falling under the 100Wh threshold for carry-on travel. This makes it ideal for productions that frequently travel to remote locations or international shoots.

Lightweight V-Mount batteries like The Protean support both 14V and 28V output configurations. This dual-voltage capability lets cinematographers and production crews power a wide range of professional cameras, lights, and accessories from a single battery, reducing the number of units needed on location or studio shoots.

The Protean supports four mount configurations: 14G (Gold Mount, Three Stud), 28G (Gold Mount Plus for 26V on-camera), 28B (B-Mount style), and 14V (V-Lock style). This broad compatibility means a single battery works across diverse professional camera platforms, eliminating the need to carry brand-specific batteries for each rig.

The Protean supports a load range of 0–150 watts, making it suitable for powering on-camera lights, professional cinema cameras, monitors, and other production accessories. This range covers most standard broadcast and cinematic equipment without requiring higher-capacity batteries that add unnecessary weight to your kit.
