5.0 out of 5 stars Only an a/c outlet is better!, July 13, 2005

Features 30% more stamina than the NP-F960 rechargeable battery pack.

I bought this AFTER spending half a day shooting with a Sony FX1 in very cold weather with my NP-F960 battery. Between the pausing and occasional power down, the battery survived this bitter cold day with LOTS of juice left over. So imagine what this NP-F970 can do for you.

I have the NP-F960 clone battery, and it isn't holding a charge as good in storage.

My only beef is waiting for it to fully charge. If you are a serious videographer, or use the Sony HVL20DW2 20 watt video light, this is a definite "must have".

5.0 out of 5 stars MUST HAVE, January 5, 2007

By	R. Crutchfield "Shudda stuck to READING!" (Palm Desert, CA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

For a large camcorder like my Sony FX7 this adds nice rear "ballast" for balance and EIGHT HOURS taping time! I use it for long shoots and the small one that comes with the cam for short home stuff.

5.0 out of 5 stars If you need to be out all day, this works, January 9, 2007

300 plus minutes of recording time (without LCD). I still got several hours with the LCD, backlight on.

For when you are out all day, this is a good long lasting battery.

On the HDR-FX1 I found it preferable to the smaller and lighter battery as it helped provide a touch extra rear weighting. That helped balance when using the camcorder at hip height for me. I can't say I noticed the extra weight as an issue when using at shoulder height, though I didn't have it on my shoulder for long periods at a time.
