ZGCINE recently released an interesting compact battery grip to power small LED lights: the ZG-H90. This 90Wh battery can power lights via its USB-C output up to 100W or via a D-Tap output port up to 148W. So, let’s take a closer look at it!
ZGCINE is a Chinese manufacturer specializing in affordable camera and camera accessory powering solutions, including V-Mount batteries, USB-C and D-Tap power cables, and Sony NP-F battery plates. With more and more compact and handy 100W (and under) LED lights hitting the market, such as the ZHIYUN MOLUS X100 and the Aputure amaran COB 60d/x, ZGCINE is back with an interesting product: the ZG-H90 battery grip.
The ZGCINE ZG-H90 is a compact battery grip designed to be attached directly below LED lights. At the top of the battery, you’ll find a 1/4″-20 mounting screw with locating pins. Also, the ZG-H90 comes with a 1/4″-20 to light stud adapter with another 1/4″-20 mounting point at the top. At the bottom of the grip, you’ll find a 1/4″-20 mounting point to mount it to a table tripod or lighting stand.
On the grip itself, you’ll find a 5-level battery indicator that gives you the status of the internal 90Wh battery. On the right side of the ZG-H90, you’ll find a D-Tap port with a maximum power output of 14.8V/10A, which equals 148W. Furthermore, you can use the D-Tap port to charge the battery grip.
On the left side, there is a USB-C power input/output port. This port supports USB-C PD input from 5V/2A up to 20V/3A, which equals 65W. Regarding power output, the USB-C power can deliver up to 20V at 5A, which equals 100W.
The ZG-H90 is available now for $99.99. In the box, you’ll find the battery grip, one USB-C cable, one D-Tap to DC cable, and one 1/4″-20 to light stud adapter.
