EACHSHOT ZGCINE ZG-V160 9600mAh V-Mount Battery - High Capacity Power

Our review of the EACHSHOT ZGCINE ZG-V160 looks at whether this compact V-mount battery is a practical power solution for run-and-gun filmmakers and LED lighting rigs. The bottom line: it is for shooters who need a high-capacity, fast-charging V-mount that can also top up USB-C devices and power LED lights, with the single biggest reason to buy being its combination of a 9600mAh capacity and multiple outputs including dual USB-C PD and D-tap. It delivers a useful mix of runtime, modern ports, and a clear OLED for status monitoring in a small package.

Key Features

• High Capacity: The 9600mAh pack uses quality cells to deliver extended runtime for cameras and lights compared with smaller V-mount options.
• Multiple Outputs: Dual USB-C PD ports plus D-tap and a BP port allow powering a camera and accessories simultaneously without extra converters.
• Fast Charging: USB-C PD input supports up to 100W charging so the battery can reach full charge in about 2.5 hours with a compatible charger.
• Clear Status Display: The OLED display shows charging status and remaining battery level so users can judge runtime at a glance.
• Compact Design: A mini size makes it easier to carry and mount on compact rigs like Komodo plates or lightweight cage setups.

Who It's For

The ZG-V160 suits indie filmmakers, gimbal operators, and small studio setups that need a V-mount battery with modern connectivity; photographers who run LED panels and USB accessories at the same time will value the dual USB-C PD outputs and D-tap power. It is also appealing when portability is important but a full-size V-mount is overkill.

Those who should look elsewhere include users who need very long multi-day runs without swapping batteries or photo teams that require hot-swap battery systems with larger capacities; for heavy cinema rigs a higher-capacity or redundant battery system will be more appropriate.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Good balance of capacity and weight for compact rigs and LED lights.
• Dual USB-C PD ports and D-tap outputs give flexible powering options for cameras and accessories.
• Fast charge capability with 100W PD dramatically reduces downtime between shoots.
• OLED display provides clear, actionable battery and charge status.

Cons

• Battery life reports are mixed among users, and a small number reported eventual charging failures.
• For very long cine days, 9600mAh may require carrying spares compared with larger V-mount bricks.
