Came-TV V-mount 50Wh and 99Wh mini batteries
We recently received the new Came-TV V-mount 50Wh and 99Wh mini batteries (see our previous LensVid Talk for more details). While they are not as small as we thought they would be they look and feel very nice and indeed have plenty of useful features including UBS-C charging plenty of ports and a nice useful screen.
The 99Wh version is already available for order on Amazon and the 50Wh is available on B&H.
Accsoon TOPRIG S60 motorized video slider
We also got our hands on the new Accsoon TOPRIG S60 motorized slider. While it looks small and unassuming we were pleasantly surprised by how smooth it is especially for repeated slides – something that we have not seen even from much higher-end models. Expect a full review in the next few weeks.
The S60 sells for around $400 on Amazon.

Hasselblad’s 907X & New CFV 100C Medium Format System
Hasselblad recently announced a new 100MP CFV 100C digital back as well as a new 907X medium format body. The two create a tiny yet extremely powerful combo together with the company’s XCD series of lenses.
The back has a fast AF, a 3.2″ touch display with flipped up/down option to 40 and 90 degrees, built-in 1TB memory (we love this one), and CFexpress Type B.
You can buy the Hasselblad 907X + 100C Medium Format Mirrorless Camera kit for around $8200.

Sony PDT-FP1 Portable 5G Data Transmitter
A few weeks ago Sony announced in Japan a new interesting accessory in the form of the PDT-FP1. This wide-angle monitor (we are not sure of the exact size and Sony does not specify it), has built-in 5G connectivity and can be paired up with Sony cameras (the company can’t guarantee that it will work with other brands) and transmit images and videos directly to the cloud.
The unit has a fan, dual USB-C, and HDMI connector as well as a LAN connector and 1/4″ 20 thread on the back.
The unit will start selling in early summer 2024 in the US and Europe as well for $1100.

Desview R7SIII 7” 4K HDMI 3G-SDI Monitor
Chinese manufacturer BestView (also known as Desview) recently released an updated version of its high-brightness monitor – the RS7III. This model boosts a whooping 2800 nits (capable of operating even at full direct sunlight), with HDMI in and out (and an optional version with SDI) rubber design with arri pin holes (absent in the previous model), and more.
Maybe the best part of this update is the affordable price tag of under $290 (the SDI version sells for $400).
