Only an a/c outlet is better! 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...

MUST HAVE 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.

If you need to be out all day, this works 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 s...

L Series Camcorder Battery This isn't a Sony-brand battery, but it works fine. The remaining time shows on the camcorder display, just like it does with the Sony brand. I'm pleased, and the price was great!

Long Lasting, must have for DCRVX2100 and others I purchased two of these over the past couple of years to go with the two Sony DCR-VX2100's that I used as a wedding videographer. No matter what wedding or event I shot at, this battery did great - and I never once had to change batteries, even when shooting the long 8+ hour daylong events. I would also take one of these with us for our vacations, and would not need to recharge the battery for the whole 5+ day trips, of course just using the camera an hour or so each day.
Great purchase...

Must have for all serious videographers I'm a professional wedding videographer and batteries are something of a must-have. There's no excuse for having your camera plugged into an outlet via an extension cord - it's a tripping hazard and it just looks tacky. That's why if you're doing extended periods of filming you've got to have a really long-life battery. That's exactly what this battery delivers - about 715 minutes of battery life when you're recording. (That's just about 12 hours!) I use a Sony DCR-VX2100 professional video came...
