Panasonic VW-VBD29 Rechargeable Battery Pack

The fact that I can top it off whenever without draining it first is a huge time-saver on shoots. It's held a steady charge across several weeks of occasional use, so no complaints here.

The Li-Ion chemistry in this pack is a lifesaver — I can top it off between shoots without draining it first, and the charge holds surprisingly well. Definitely worth grabbing a spare and rotating them.

The fact that I can charge it whenever I want without draining it first is really convenient for my workflow. It holds a steady charge in my camcorder, and I’ve gotten a full day of shooting on a single pack.
