The SmallRig 4985 X-Touch X221 combines smart power management with rugged protection and multiple high-power outputs. It targets demanding shooting environments where reliability, fast charging, and versatile ports matter. The X221 uses a 2.0-inch HD color touchscreen and a robust housing to deliver clear status information and rock-solid performance on set.
The battery’s smart management centers on a 2.0-inch HD color touchscreen with a frosted anti-glare surface. As a result, you get readable status information even under bright or difficult lighting.
Furthermore, a dedicated mobile app provides remote control and monitoring features. You can check battery level, manage ports, track battery location, and perform OTA updates from the app. These remote features help streamline on-set workflows and reduce the need to handle the battery directly during shoots.
The X221 features triple-proof protection built for professional environments. Specifically, it offers 1.5m drop resistance and an IP54 rating for protection against water splashes and dust. In addition, the housing includes eight silicone-protected corners, four reinforced edges, and full metal side panels for added impact resistance.
Internally, the circuitry is fully reinforced to maintain reliable operation in rough conditions. Together, these elements ensure the battery withstands everyday knocks and outdoor shoots where weather and handling can challenge equipment.
The X221 includes eight ports arranged for practical on-set power distribution. Each port runs on an independent circuit, so you can power multiple devices at the same time without one port affecting the others.
Thanks to independent circuits, you can run cameras, monitors, lights, and mobile devices concurrently while maintaining stable output across connections.
An integrated BMS control chip manages charging and discharging behavior. The X221 supports rapid charging and, per the specifications, can reach a full charge in only 2.5 hours when using appropriate inputs. This fast recharge capability reduces downtime between takes.
Additionally, the management system regulates safe power output to protect connected devices while maintaining consistent performance during use.
The X221 uses premium LG battery cells, which are known for longer cycle life and precise battery readings. These cells support the unit’s rated parameters and help deliver dependable runtime and accurate status reporting.
For flexible installation, the battery offers dual mounting options with 1/4" and 3/8" threaded holes. Also, a backlight indicator assists with installation and status checks in dimly lit conditions.
The X221 holds multiple certifications that reflect regulatory compliance: FCC, CE, RoHS, ISED, PSE, and RCM.
Compatibility covers a wide range of production and personal devices. For example, the battery suits mirrorless cameras, camcorders, still cameras, monitors, follow focuses, image transmitters, LED video lights, cell phones, tablets, and laptops.
