Anybody know the best place to get batteries?
I had three but one broke... I saw B&H selling them new for like... 149 dollars or something which is insane...
Hoping for something a little lower in price so I can buy a few. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
I've used eBay to buy a bunch of NP-F970's for my vx2100. I forgot the seller (had them saved years ago) but the batteries were legit and lasted hours/ weeks at a time. I think they were about $30-40ish a piece or maybe 2 for $45? I can't remember exactly.
I don't suggest paying 150 for one battery. I'd lurk eBay for a third party and check the reviews before buying.
Yeah when I had my VX21 I had a mix of the OG Sony ones that still held charge or the cheap ones I bought on eBay. Honestly, they hold charge and as long as you look after them they'll last a long time.
If you're using a 21 just be careful and persist at the seller that they in fact, do have the grooves on the side. I've had to send so many back and argue with a few, but I got a load of them in the end.
Or you could do a botch job like some have to make those grooves, but I wouldn't want to fuck with cutting into the side of the battery haha.
