IndiPRO Micro-Series 150Wh V-Mount Li-Ion Battery - Compact Power

In this review the IndiPRO Micro-Series 150Wh V-Mount Li-Ion Battery is presented as a compact, camera-ready power pack for shooters who need reliable runtime without a bulky rig. The bottom line: it is ideal for RED DSMC/DSMC2 users and run-and-gun filmmakers who require a 150Wh V-Mount battery that supports higher continuous draws up to 12A while still offering handy accessory outputs and a simple five-LED charge gauge.

Key Features

• 150Wh capacity: Provides substantial runtime in a small body, suitable for lengthy shoots when paired with efficient cameras and accessories.
• 12A continuous draw: Handles demanding camera loads and many accessories without thermal tripping or unexpected shutdowns.
• V-Mount compatibility: Directly powers RED DSMC and DSMC2 cameras while sending detailed battery info for viewfinder runtime display.
• D-Tap output: Allows powering lights, monitors or recorders on the rig so the camera battery can feed multiple devices at once.
• USB power output: Gives a convenient way to charge a smartphone or small USB accessories during a shoot.
• Five-LED power gauge: Quick visual check of remaining charge without needing to power on attached equipment.

Who It's For

The Micro-Series 150Wh is geared toward professional and indie cinematographers who use RED cameras and need a V-mount battery that communicates runtime to the camera while supporting accessory power via D-Tap and USB. Its compact footprint fits tighter setups where a full-size battery would be cumbersome.

Shooter types who should look elsewhere include those requiring very high continuous draws beyond 12A for extended periods or crews who need multiple high-capacity batteries for multi-day shoots; in those cases larger capacity or higher-discharge packs would be more appropriate.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Compact 150Wh design balances weight and runtime for on-the-go shoots.
• 12A continuous draw supports RED DSMC/DSMC2 and many camera accessories reliably.
• Both D-Tap and USB outputs expand the battery's usefulness beyond just camera power.
• Runtime reporting to RED cameras and a five-LED gauge make monitoring straightforward.

Cons

• At 150Wh and 9.4Ah, it may require swapping or backup batteries for long, all-day shoots.
  
• Not intended for sustained loads above 12A, so very power-hungry rigs need larger packs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this battery display remaining runtime on a RED camera?
Yes, the battery can send detailed battery information to RED DSMC and DSMC2 cameras so remaining runtime can be shown in the viewfinder.

What accessories can I power from the battery?
Use the D-Tap to run lights, monitors, or recorders and the USB port to charge smartphones or small USB accessories while shooting.

Is the continuous draw sufficient for heavy rigs?
The battery supports up to 12A continuous draw, which covers many setups, but very power-hungry rigs or extended high-draw use will need larger or additional batteries.
