Tilta has introduced the Portable Charging Station for Sony NP-FZ100 and NP-FW50 batteries to reduce on-set clutter. The Portable Charging Station will power up to four Sony batteries simultaneously. Nino had the opportunity to connect with the Tilta team at NAB 2025 and get a hands-on look. Titla’s Portable Charging Station simplifies charging This recently announced charger seeks to tame the chaos of charging all your camera batteries in the field. It isn’t uncommon for Sony chargers to only take two batteries at a time, and many chargers charge them one at a time (sequentially). Tilta’s charger will charge all four batteries in about 3 hours. This requires that you connect its USB-C cable to a charger that can provide 45 watts of power, which you will need to provide. Tilta Portable Charging Station. Source: Tilta. It also features indicator lights to monitor charging progress. Tilta’s NP-F style batteries can be charged without a standalone charger by connecting them via USB-C. Compatibility The Tilta Portable Charging Station works for both NP-FX100 batteries and NP-FW50 batteries. Tilta is planning to release additional models that will support Nikon, Panasonic, Canon, and FUJIFILM with a focus on smaller camera bodies. We’ll see both portable chargers and batteries from Tilta for these brands. Tilta Portable Charging Station.
