4.3
★★★★☆

From 200+ verified B&H Photo reviews across ZILR’s HyperThin HDMI, Micro-HDMI, Mini-HDMI and 12G-SDI cable lines

★★★★★

“As a professional cameraman this is one of the best cables available. Connectors fit nice and snug and the cord is very flexible and small, not stiff like other cords that put strain on your connection points.”

R.J.

HyperThin Mini-HDMI · B&H Photo · Dec 2020

★★★★★

“This cable has been a reliable part of my kit for two years with my Atomos recorder. It impressively handles the RAW output from my Panasonic S5, ensuring high-speed data transfer without any loss in quality.”

Matthew

HyperThin Micro-HDMI · B&H Photo · Mar 2024

★★★★★

“It’s an SDI cable, but it seems very high quality and was available in the length I needed. Have had no dropouts transmitting 6K video, so that’s promising. Seems sturdy and will likely last a long time.”

Mark

12G-SDI BNC Cable · B&H Photo · Jan 2025

★★★★★

“Connection is solid, barrel is just the right length, and the wire itself is that classic thin ZILR cable we’ve grown to love. Highly recommend for gimbal ops and anyone wanting a clean, worry-free 12G-SDI solution.”

Rob

USB-C to Canon LP-E6 Dummy Battery · B&H Photo · Mar 2022

“So far the item works and I have it paired with a SmallRig L-Series/NP-F Battery Adapter Plate (Advanced Edition). Extremely convenient.”

Hugh

“Works great with A7Siii, A7IV and A7iii. Supplies more power than USB-A dummy batteries — very helpful!”

Jordan

USB-C to Sony NP-FZ100 Dummy Battery · B&H Photo · May 2022

★★★★☆

“I use this with a 20,000mAh battery to shoot lengthy astro exposures so I don’t have to do hot swaps of the NP-FZ100 battery. This unit works very well and the build quality is excellent.”

The ZIPR E-Powered K.I.T. Cart has been reviewed by Newsshooter, Gaffer & Gear and verified buyers — every review so far has landed at 5 out of 5.

“

I like the ZILR ZIPR, and it makes moving equipment around a lot easier. Incredibly quiet — it doesn’t interfere with audio recording.

“

All I’m doing is steering it and pushing down with my thumb — it’s a very, very cruisy experience.

Andrew Lock

“

Carting in lights and equipment is no longer a chore but a joy. This thing is built like a tank — I’ve used it in rain, snow and ice and it’s still working as it should.

The Zipr 4WD has been a godsend on set — a small, budget-limited crew lugging heavy kit through muddy fields, studio builds and city centres. Packs down small, sets up without tools, and it is FAST!

“

What I love about having the ZIPR with me was that I always had my kit prepared and right next to me. If I needed to access anything, it was right there — and when I was done with a take, I could just jump on it and ride to my next location.

We’ve done a family photo walk with a ZILR ZIPR cart, and it was fantastic!

COMMON QUESTIONS

ZILR REVIEWS — COMMON QUESTIONS ANSWERED

Based on the most common questions raised across verified customer reviews.

Are ZILR’s HyperThin HDMI cables really thinner than standard cables? +
Yes. ZILR’s HyperThin HDMI Male-to-Male, Micro-HDMI and Mini-HDMI cables use a slim-profile jacket built for camera rigs, gimbals and tight cages. Verified B&H Photo reviewers report stable 4K and 6K signal on Atomos Ninja V/V+, RED Komodo and Sony FX6 setups without adding bulk to the rig.
How reliable are ZILR cables for daily professional use? +
Across more than 200 verified reviews on B&H Photo, ZILR’s HDMI and SDI cable lines average 4.3 out of 5 stars. The 12G-SDI BNC cable is rated 4.8/5 by gimbal operators running RED Komodo rigs. As with any cable used on gimbals and rigs, lifespan depends on how often it’s flexed at the connector — if a cable develops a fault, contact ZILR support for assistance.
Will the ZILR USB-C dummy battery work with my camera? +
ZILR makes USB-C PD dummy battery adapters for several camera mounts: the ZRUCDB01 fits Sony NP-FZ100 cameras (A7S III, A7 IV, FX3, FX6), ZRUCDB04 fits Canon LP-E6 bodies (R5, R6, 5D/6D series), ZRUCDB05 fits Sony NP-F550, and ZRUCDB07 fits Panasonic DMW-DCC17. Check your camera’s battery type on the ZILR Power page before ordering.
What do reviewers say about the ZILR 12G-SDI BNC cable? +
The ZILR 12G-SDI BNC cable holds a 4.8 out of 5 rating from verified B&H Photo buyers, with reviewers specifically praising its performance on RED Komodo and gimbal-mounted rigs — no dropouts transmitting 6K video, and a thin, flexible profile that doesn’t add drag during dynamic moves.
Is the ZILR L-Series/NP-F970 battery powerful enough for a camera and monitor? +
The ZILR 74.37Wh L-Series/NP-F970 battery with USB-C PD output is rated 4.5 out of 5. One verified buyer ran a Sony A7S III and an Atomos Ninja V from a single battery for over two hours while keeping the camera’s internal battery full.
What’s the ZIPR production cart’s review score? +
The ZIPR E-Powered K.I.T. Cart has been reviewed 5 out of 5 by Newsshooter and Gaffer & Gear, and by verified buyers on B&H Photo. Read the full breakdown on the dedicated ZIPR reviews page.
