SmallRig has announced the XTouch X99, a new “triple-proof” V-mount battery designed for filmmakers working in challenging environments. Set to ship on May 30, 2025, this $299.99 power solution brings several innovations to the battery space, focusing on durability, control, and user feedback. The X99 battery features an integrated 2-inch HD touchscreen display with an anti-glare coating, allowing users to monitor battery levels and control individual ports. Each port can be independently toggled on or off via the touchscreen interface, which SmallRig says helps prevent unwanted battery discharge during storage or transport. SmallRig XTouch X99 Battery.
