Sony FX3 CineBack – USB-C PD or D-Tap dummy battery?

Hey guys, I'm building out my Sony FX3 rig and I'm wondering what you would recommend for powering the camera.

My setup:

  • Sony FX3
  • CineBack with top handle
  • SmallRig V-Mount battery
  • Feelworld monitor powered via D-Tap
  • D-Tap to NP-FZ100 dummy battery for the FX3

Would you power the FX3 with the D-Tap dummy battery, or keep a real NP-FZ100 inside the camera and power the FX3 via USB-C PD from the CineBack/V-Mount?

I'm mainly shooting long-form food videos, YouTube content and masterclasses, so reliability and long runtimes are important.

Which setup would you trust more for long shoots, and why?
