SmallRig has launched its new Nano Power Bank series, comprising the Nano 36 and Nano 72 models, specifically engineered to meet the demanding power needs of professional photographers and videographers. Unlike conventional power banks, these devices are designed for seamless integration with camera rigs and accessories, offering a streamlined and efficient power solution. This innovation addresses the common challenge of securing power sources during shoots, transforming the power bank from a standalone accessory into an integral component of the camera setup.
The core distinction of the Nano Power Bank series lies in its modular design, which includes built-in 1/4"-20 threaded holes and dedicated V-mount plates. These features allow the power banks to be directly attached to camera cages, tripods, gimbals, and other SmallRig accessories. This level of integration eliminates the need for improvised attachment methods such as cable ties or tape, leading to a much tidier and more stable setup. The enhanced stability is particularly beneficial for professionals who frequently move between locations or require precise camera movements without the distraction of unsecured power sources.
The Nano 36, the more compact option, is equipped with a 10,000mAh battery, providing 30W input and 45W output, with a multi-port output reaching up to 24W. It's an ideal choice for shorter tasks like mobile livestreaming, casual video recording, or travel content creation, offering a quick power boost. It features a retractable USB-C cable and a combined USB-C/USB-A port, simplifying connectivity and reducing clutter. On the other hand, the Nano 72 is built for more intensive use, housing a 20,000mAh battery with robust 100W input and bi-directional output capabilities. This model is perfectly suited for extended events, wedding shoots, or multi-camera configurations that demand consistent and reliable power. Its rapid bi-directional charging ensures minimal downtime, allowing for quick recharges and efficient power delivery to cameras and monitors.
The mounting versatility of the Nano series is a significant advantage. For livestreamers, the power banks can be easily secured to tripods or quick-release plates, ensuring a stable and organized mobile rig for prolonged periods. For camera operators covering events or using complex setups with wireless microphones and stabilizers, the integrated mounting capability means the power bank becomes a seamless extension of their gear. This design philosophy prevents cable entanglement and the potential for batteries to detach, thereby enhancing operational efficiency and reducing on-set complications.
The introduction of the Nano Power Bank series underscores SmallRig's commitment to supporting comprehensive creator workflows. By expanding its ecosystem of camera rigs, lighting, and audio systems with these portable power solutions, SmallRig enables creators to assemble fully integrated setups where all components are designed to work in harmony. The series debuted at IFA 2026, with pricing for these innovative power banks beginning at $79.99, marking a significant step forward in providing specialized power solutions for the creative community.
