Bc 35 Wireless Backup Camera

if your wireless unit fails you, this is your backup.

A great backup battery for my Panasonic Lumix FZ-35.

BC is G2G

Great little backup in my bag for wireless boom mic using Rode Wireless Go

on my backup camera everything nothing

Wireless is great until there's a problem. That's why I always carry backup cords to a shoot on location.

Works just as well as my notebooks internal wireless card. It makes a good backup solution.

Let's talk about the elephant in the room first; no, the BC-W235 does not include a USB charger or cable. I don't care because my Fuji X-T4 camera came with a 15-watt USB charger and cable that seemed to work fine with this item. If you do not have the OEM charger, then I recommend that you use any good quality 20-watt or greater USB charger with an appropriate 20-watt cable. Smaller chargers and cables will work but will greatly increase the charging time and do not appear to charge 2 batteries simultaneously. The BC-W235 battery charger worked perfectly for me. I inserted a Watson battery (0%) and my Fuji OEM battery (60%) and they simultaneously charged to 100% in less than 2 hours with no overheating. The display was easy to read and indicated the charging progress for each battery in 5% increments. I have multiple batteries and don't like the idea of tying up my camera to charge the spares, so this Fujifilm battery charger will be a very useful accessory for me.

I purchased the BC-166 ball head to replace an older, lighter-weight ball head on my heavy tripod in the studio. I wanted a ball head that would hold a lot of weight, but be easy to adjust. The Oben really fits the bill. I don't think I will ever exceed the 66 pound capacity of this head; but that much capacity makes for rock-steady locked-down performance. The controls are simple to set up and use, it stays put where you point it, with any combination of camera and lens I've tested so far--what more could you ask for? The only negative thing I have found falls under the personal preference category. The BC-166 is definitely made to be controlled and adjusted with your right hand. I am ambidextrous, and I'm used to keeping my right hand on the camera in shooting position while I adjust my other, older ball head with my left hand. After a few minutes practice, I'm getting used to reaching around the head to access the knobs with my left hand while I hold the camera on target with my right. Not an insurmountable problem, just different than what I'm used to.

Without the BC-TRV you need to use your camera to charge a spare battery. So you can't use a battery and charge a battery at the same time. I've been caught out so many times when travelling. The BC-TRV solves this by giving you an off camera charging solution.... Excellent as always!!
