Panasonic DMW-BLF19 Lithium-Ion Battery Pack (Black)

I'd be happy to sell this product all day if I could. I've purchased and used "second" tier batteries that only last about 30 minutes in the field, so buy this item unless you're going to do some really quick shots, which you should always do. THESE ARE THE REASONS:br>br>THE MAIN REASON:br>THE MAIN REASON:br>THE MAIN REASON:br>THE MAIN REA Every other day, I shoot continuous video, and one of these batteries lasts at least an hour and a half. I am never going to buy cheap batteries again. It's not worth it to change batteries on site every 20 or 30 minutes just to save a few dollars! Plus, it's unprofessional to be constantly fiddling with your equipment just to stay productive; it's distracting and embarrassing. When you're on the job or need dedicated power with no distractions or worries, these batteries are more than worth it when compared to competitors.

Investing in aftermarket batteries is a waste of money. These Panasonic batteries are the best for my GH4 and GH5S and last almost 50% longer than other aftermarket batteries in my GH4 and GH5S and last almost 50% longer than other aftermarket Furthermore, after several dozen charge/recharge cycles, these batteries hold up extremely well, whereas aftermarket batteries only last half as long as they did when new (which was already half as long as the Panasonic batteries!). br>br>I strongly suggest these, and the extra cost is well worth it.

They outlast the competition by a long shot and don't give you strange battery compatibility errors. They also appear to hold a charge better over time, as the others I bought around the same time are already losing their charge.

They're expensive, but they're still the best. My pal has a couple of off-the-wall ideas. We both despise the brand of batteries we have to use; Because of their reliability and long battery life, these ones give me a sense of security and peace of mind when I'm out on a shoot. br>br>I must say, since switching from a DSLR to a mirrorless system, I've spent twice as much on camera batteries as I had previously. To shoot the same amount with a mirrorless camera system as I could with two batteries with a DSLR system, I need five batteries. br>br>If you're a casual shooter, go ahead and try out the off-road course. stuff with a brand name But, without a doubt, if you're a serious shooter, your money would be better spent on these. When they do go on sale, I recommend picking them up. br>br>As for providing warmth, I can't say these did much for me on those dreadful lonely nights;.

Original batteries are the only way to go; other batteries may work well at first, but they will quickly let you down. I work as a video producer. When using a gimbal, you must ensure that the camera is balanced on the gimbal. I had to re-charge my Panasonic batteries after switching to aftermarket batteries. Because aftermarket batteries are lighter than original batteries, the gimbal must be balanced. What a thorn in my side! Furthermore, aftermarket batteries rapidly degrade to the point where they are nearly useless.

These work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, It's not worth it to risk a shoot with a battery that may or may not work.

I've had a bad experience with third-party brands, so I'll stick to the originals.
