Rated 4 out of 5

Comparable to Sony's offering at a better price

After a bit of research and reading a bunch of reviews, I settled on this battery for my Sony FS5 as an addition to the stock battery. It was around 1/2 as much as the Sony BPU90 and, although I've not done a direct comparison, likely will hold a charge just a long. I also like having the D tap and 5V/1A USB sockets for powering various outboard items. On Adorama's site, the listing for this battery does not mention specifically the compatibility with the FS5, I assure you, there is not a problem. Fits the camera fine, charges on the stock Sony charger fine. All is well. JJ

Please Note: Regarding D-tap DC out on S-8U93, when using this battery for FS7, the S-7105 90° D-tap connector is needed since D-tap DC output is blocked by FS7 body.
