V Mount Batteries

[Zack Finer]

Hey guys,
I plan on doing some extended shooting with the scarlet away from a readily available power source. So Batteries are going to be key.
I was thinking of getting the Viewfactor V-mount and some V-mount batteries. Anyone have any experience with these, any idea of how long a charge may last on the Scarlet-x?

Regarding batteries, I have several of the 160w global media pro v-mount batts. Ran 90 minutes straight on Red One, so should be better on Scarlet.

you'll search and search - and VF Brook plate is still the most compact and elegant way to mount V-mount batteries any DSMC system.

for reference - after seeing an Epic with a Touch LCD run for over 3hrs with one Red brick (140W, i believe), i'm getting convinced that that is the way to go - even handheld.
two Red bricks (or similar) with a charger, and 2 Redvolts with a travel charger and a side handle may be the way to go for all kinds of situations - for those seeking that elusive future-proofness

Question: how come the 1.8lb Switronix battery below is rated at 95Wh and the 2.4lb Global Media Pro is 160Wh? They're basically the same size but the latter lasts twice as long, am I missing some sort of amperage rating or something?

Already ordered a Viewfactor plate, just trying to decide between V-mount batteries (figure the ones that say they send % data to RED ONE are the safest bet).
