NEEWER V Mount Battery Plate with Arca Type QR Plate for DJI RS4/RS3 Gimbals and V-Lock Power Setups
Product description
What it is and why people buy it
NEEWER’s V Mount Battery Plate is a portable mounting plate designed to hold a V-mount battery and, importantly, also give you an Arca-type quick-release style platform for setting up your camera rig. On paper, it’s aimed at creators who want power organised on the same “base” as their gimbal/cage accessories, rather than juggling separate plates and adapters.
You’re also getting a detachable V-mount plate adapter and an extra, removable holder for a portable charger (so you can think of it as a flexible power staging area). There’s a 1/4-inch screw option for mounting accessories with 1/4-inch threads such as a battery adapter plate for NP-F-style batteries.
The essentials (so you’re not surprised later)
This is not a universal plate for every V-mount battery system. The compatibility note is pretty explicit: it’s only for specific NEEWER V-mount batteries (PS099E, PS099EP, PS150E, PS050E and PS099S). If you already own a different brand or a different battery model, it may not be the clean fit you’re hoping for.
It also uses a dual Arca-type QR approach: an Arca quick-release clamp plate with a retractable safety pin to help secure your camera, plus an Arca base with threaded holes (1/4-inch and 3/8-inch) for flexibility with tripod heads and accessories.
Worth noting: the product description mentions compatibility with a range of camera models, but those lists are still “under what it’s designed to mount” rather than a guarantee that every cage setup will line up perfectly without tweaks.
What you’ll notice in use
Where this plate can feel genuinely useful is in rig workflow. If you’re running a hand-held or gimbal-led setup, having the power mount and quick-release style camera mounting together can reduce faff between shots.
A practical micro-example: say you’re on a client shoot and want to move from a gimbal stabiliser setup to a tripod for a static interview. With the Arca-type base, the idea is that you can attach and transfer more smoothly using the Arca ecosystem, while keeping the V-mount battery position consistent. It’s the kind of “small efficiency” that matters when you’re trying to keep downtime low.
The battery positioning also has some thought behind it: the foldable plate offers three adjustable angles (90°/180°/270°). That’s meant to help with vertical or horizontal mounting of the battery without obstructing a tilting screen on compatible cameras. If you’ve ever had a screen blocked by a rigid power mount, you’ll understand why this is a big deal.
Key features that matter for buying decisions
Folding and transport
The plate is described as compact and portable, with the V-mount adapter that can be dismantled and the overall battery plate that folds. In real-world terms, this is the difference between “it lives in a bag” and “it becomes a permanent studio piece”.
QR-style Arca mounting with safety
The Arca clamp plate is designed to lock your camera in place, supported by a retractable anti-release safety pin. This is one of those features you don’t think about until you’re tightening things on set, so it’s a positive inclusion for peace of mind.
Gimbal and stabiliser transfer
It’s stated to be compatible with DJI hand-held gimbals/stabiliser models including DJI RS4/RS 4 Pro/RS3/RS 3 Pro/RS2/RSC 2. The description also says the base can be fixed from the left or right, which helps if your cage layout puts weight distribution where you need it.

Is it worth it?
This makes sense if you’re building a compact creator rig where power and camera mounting need to be tidy, quick to adjust, and consistent across gimbal and tripod-style use. If you already use, or plan to use, NEEWER V-mount batteries from the specified PS range, the design intent is aligned with a practical workflow—fold it for transport, angle it to avoid screen obstruction, and use the Arca QR style mounting for camera positioning.
However, it may not be the right choice if your V-mount battery is outside the listed NEEWER models, or if your cage/accessory stack is so unique that you expect plug-and-play alignment with no spacing or adapter needs. Also, if you’re only using a very basic setup (single device, no need to transfer between mounts), you might feel you’re paying for flexibility you won’t actually use.
Mini FAQ
Will this work with any V-mount battery?
No, the listing states it’s only for specific NEEWER V-mount batteries: PS099E, PS099EP, PS150E, PS050E and PS099S.
Does it help avoid blocking a tilting screen?
It’s designed with adjustable battery angles (90°/180°/270°) so the battery can be mounted vertical or horizontal without obstructing the camera’s tilting screen on compatible setups.
Is it a tripod plate too?
It includes an Arca-type base with threaded holes (1/4-inch and 3/8-inch), so it’s intended to interface with Arca systems and accessories that match those threads.
What gimbals/stabilisers does it mention?
The description names DJI RS4/RS 4 Pro, RS3/RS 3 Pro, RS2 and RSC 2.
Buying verdict
If you’ve got the right NEEWER V-mount battery and you care about keeping your rig organised—especially when moving between stabilisers and tripod-style setups—this NEEWER V Mount Battery Plate with Arca Type QR Plate looks like a purposeful, practical piece of kit. Just double-check the battery model compatibility before you commit, because that’s the main limitation baked into the design.
