HDMI, SDI & USB-C CABLES
PROFESSIONAL CABLES — REVIEWED BY FILMMAKERS
ZILR’s HyperThin HDMI, Micro-HDMI, Mini-HDMI and 12G-SDI BNC cables are used daily on gimbals, camera cages and broadcast rigs with Atomos, RED, Sony and Panasonic gear.
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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“This ZILR HDMI cable works well for my needs and the secure connection is a big plus. I use this cable with my Ninja V connected to the Sony FX6. I highly recommend this HDMI cable for professional video work!”
“This cable is a perfect fit between my Panasonic 4K camcorder and my Hollyland Transmitter.”
USB-C PD POWER SOLUTIONS
BATTERY ADAPTERS — TRUSTED ON SET
ZILR’s NPF, L-Series and USB-C dummy battery adapters add USB-C Power Delivery to Sony, Canon and Panasonic camera batteries — keeping cameras, monitors and recorders running all day.
From verified B&H Photo reviews across ZILR’s L-Series battery and USB-C dummy battery adapters for Sony, Canon and Panasonic
“Did a test recording with the Ninja V and A7Siii. Lasted just over 2 hours and kept the internal camera battery full.”
“When you’re doing long timelapse videos on an R5, you need a device like this. Worked perfect for me.”
“I purchased this adapter to provide an unlimited power source for my Canon R5 using an Anker PowerCore Elite III battery. I found my R5 functioned properly with no apparent loss of functionality.”
“So far the item works and I have it paired with a SmallRig L-Series/NP-F Battery Adapter Plate (Advanced Edition). Extremely convenient.”
“Works great with A7Siii, A7IV and A7iii. Supplies more power than USB-A dummy batteries — very helpful!”
“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.”
E-POWERED PRODUCTION CART
ZIPR PRODUCTION CART — 5★ FROM PRESS & CREWS
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.
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!
