The Neewer PS0995 V–mount battery charges cameras, computers, phones and powers LED lights, too!With more power-using devices than ever working in our everyday lives, the need for portable storage is on the rise. What was once for pros only is now coming into the mainstream. V-mount batteries get their name from the V shaped mechanism that docks them to a camera or a light. They are more powerful than smaller batteries. That means they last longer in high draw situations.

The Neewer AS600B is a well-built, high-output lighting instrument. Its controls are easy to understand and use. It is a professional quality light that weighs accordingly. It is not for use with flimsy, amateur light stands. It comes in a well thought out trolley with a stowaway handle and wheels. At 42 pounds (almost 20kg), the AS600B is professional grade. It is priced accordingly and competes nicely with similar units from Nanlite and Aperture. I have used this light on jobs.

More videos than ever are being made with smartphones. The need for professional motion tools has never been greater. The Hohem iSteady M7 is perfect for wider and heavier phones like the iPhone 16 Pro Max. Handheld video is great for recording quick authentic shots where the bounciness of the camera adds to the story. The other side of that is the smooth-flowing captures that only a gimbal can deliver. So, short scenes work well with a handheld phone.
