Only an a/c outlet is better!
Features 30% more stamina than the NP-F960 rechargeable battery pack.
I bought this AFTER spending half a day shooting with a Sony FX1 in very cold weather with my NP-F960 battery. Between the pausing and occasional power down, the battery survived this bitter cold day with LOTS of juice left over. So imagine what this NP-F970 can do for you.
I have the NP-F960 clone battery, and it isn't holding a charge as good in storage.
My only beef is waiting for it to fully charge. If you are a serious videographer, or use the Sony HVL20DW2 20 watt video light, this is a definite "must have".
MUST HAVE
For a large camcorder like my Sony FX7 this adds nice rear "ballast" for balance and EIGHT HOURS taping time! I use it for long shoots and the small one that comes with the cam for short home stuff.
If you need to be out all day, this works
300 plus minutes of recording time (without LCD). I still got several hours with the LCD, backlight on.
For when you are out all day, this is a good long lasting battery.
On the HDR-FX1 I found it preferable to the smaller and lighter battery as it helped provide a touch extra rear weighting. That helped balance when using the camcorder at hip height for me. I can't say I noticed the extra weight as an issue when using at shoulder height, though I didn't have it on my shoulder for long periods at a time.
