If you own a battery powered video light<\/strong>, a camera slider, or any device that runs on Sony L-series batteries, you\u2018ve probably wondered: which NP-F battery should I actually buy?<\/p>

GVM offers three NP-F battery kits, each designed for a different type of user. This guide breaks down the differences so you can pick the right one \u2014 without overpaying for features you don\u2019t need, or underestimating your power requirements on set.<\/p>

Why NP<\/strong>–<\/strong>F Batteries?<\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>

NP-F batteries are the industry standard for portable video gear. They power\u00a0LED video light battery<\/strong>\u00a0<\/a>systems, on-camera monitors, field recorders, and GVM camera sliders. They\u2018re lightweight, widely available, and hot-swappable \u2014 meaning you can swap a depleted battery for a fresh one without powering down your device.<\/p>

GVM\u2019s NP-F series is compatible with a broad range of devices, including Sony HandyCam camcorders (DCR, DSR, HDR, FDR, HVR, HVL series) and GVM LED lights such as the 480ls, 520ls, 520s, and 672s. They also work with standard L-series battery plates found on many video light with battery<\/strong> systems.<\/p>
