The iFootage NP-F970 to V-Mount Adapter (NP-F970-BP) provides a practical way to power V-mount compatible cameras, lights, and accessories using widely available Sony NP-F970 (L-series) batteries. Designed with dual battery bays, it converts two NP-F970 batteries into a V-mount output, offering a compact and portable power solution for video production.

This adapter also works seamlessly with the iFootage V-Mount Grip, making it a useful option for powering the SL1 60DN Daylight LED and other compatible lighting setups without the need for traditional V-mount batteries.

Who this is for

• Videographers needing a lightweight alternative to V-mount batteries
• Content creators working on portable or travel-friendly setups
• Lighting operators using the iFootage SL1 60DN or similar fixtures
• Anyone already invested in Sony NP-F970 batteries

At a glance

• Converts NP-F970 (L-series) batteries to V-mount output
• Dual battery slots for extended runtime
• Compatible with V-mount cameras, lights, and accessories
• Works with iFootage V-Mount Grip systems
• Compact, lightweight design for mobile setups

How it works

The adapter features two front-facing Sony L-series (NP-F970) battery slots. Once both batteries are mounted, the unit converts their combined power into a V-mount output via the rear plate. This allows you to attach and power V-mount compatible equipment as you would with a standard V-mount battery. When paired with the iFootage V-Mount Grip, it can also be used as a charging and power solution for compatible lighting systems such as the SL1 60DN.

Why choose this adapter

Traditional V-mount batteries can be bulky and expensive. This adapter offers a more flexible approach by letting you use NP-F970 batteries you may already own. It’s especially useful for smaller rigs or situations where portability matters, while still maintaining compatibility with professional V-mount systems.
