  • bigger batteries for EX1R

    Posted by Bob Cole on December 2, 2011 at 11:20 pm

    I’m looking for an alternative to the BP batteries to power an onboard monitor &/or camera light, along with my EX1R.

    I’ve been looking at the IDX line, but ideally I would like the new battery to provide intelligent monitoring through the EX1R’s viewfinder as well. Does anyone have a specific recommendation?

    Thanks.

    Bob,

    Check out lacolorShop.com
    They have larger versions of the BP batteries. I have the smaller of the two models, and I get way longer run-times than the Sony BP-U60. It has a PowerTap connector for your light as well.

    Thanks. Do their batt’s give intelligent monitoring through the viewfinder?

    They give a voltage readout in the viewfinder.
