Solving a High-Stakes Friction Point in the Field

Modern camera setups—such as the Canon EOS R1, R3, and R5 Mark II, Nikon Z8/Z9, and Sony Alpha series—require meticulous power management. During fast-paced events or intense field assignments, tracking battery health and rotation is critical. Traditionally, photographers and filmmakers have relied on messy gaffer tape or marker lines to distinguish fresh packs from depleted ones—a makeshift solution that degrades under heavy use. The Field Made Battery Indicator Collection replaces this friction with an elegant, highly functional workflow.

Key Product Specifications & Design Details

• Tailored Dimensions: Each set is precision-cut to match the exact physical footprint of specific battery models without obstructing contacts or battery doors.
• Premium Materials: Built from high-durability, scuff-resistant, outdoor-rated matte vinyl designed to withstand weather and friction in the field.
• Zero Residue: Applies securely but can be removed cleanly without leaving adhesive residue on high-value gear.
• Airtight Workflow Numbering: Features bold, high-contrast sequential numbering (01, 02, 03, etc.) to allow creators to maintain a strict “First In, First Out” rotation.
• Asset Protection: Fully customizable text fields allow users to print their Name, Website, and Phone Number directly onto the label, ensuring misplaced gear finds its way home.
• Supported Ecosystems & Availability

The collection covers a vast professional footprint, ensuring visual continuity across mixed-brand gear fleets:

• Canon: LP-E6/LP-E6N, LP-E6NH, LP-E6P, LP-E19
• Nikon: EN-EL15, EN-EL25, EN-EL18
• Sony: NP-FZ100

Sony registered a new digital camera with the Indonesian certification body POSTEL, but the entry was later removed. The new WW308784 will be made in China (not Thailand), and DCLife speculates it could be a new RX or APS-C model becuase it was registered as “Digital Camera” rather than “Interchangeable Lens Digital Camera.”

Here is a leaked Sony sensor roadmap from a few months ago – you can see what is expected in 2026 and 2027 :

Somy Indonesia will hold an Alpha event on June 26-28, which is a weekend, so I doubt they will announce a new product:

The “Sony Alpha Event” scheduled for June 26–28 is the Alpha Festival 2026 hosted by Sony Indonesia, taking place at the Sports Hall in Agora Mall, Central Jakarta. It is a multi-day regional community and product showcase rather than a global broadcast.

Versatile For Everything, Ideal for Portraits

With the introduction of the two new EVO lenses, portrait photographers can achieve strong spatial compression and smooth, atmospheric bokeh that naturally isolates subjects from distracting backgrounds. With a minimum focusing distance of just 0.74m, these lenses also enable tighter framing and immersive close-up shots for more expressive portrait compositions.

 

The AF 75mm F1.8 EVO offers a versatile 112.5mm-equivalent focal length that balances strong background blur with flexible everyday usability for street photography, half-body portraits, and urban shooting. The AF 90mm F2.2 EVO provides a classic 135mm-equivalent portrait perspective with enhanced compression and subject isolation, making it particularly well suited for outdoor portraits, wedding photography, and cinematic portraiture.

 

Improved Image Consistency Across the Frame

Viltrox has developed new optical designs incorporating ED (Extra-low Dispersion) and HR (High Refractive Index) elements to reduce chromatic aberration and contribute to improved overall image consistency. Even at maximum aperture, the lenses deliver sharp, high-resolution image quality from center to edge, while effectively helping maintain bright, consistent illumination across the frame. This results in natural tonal transitions and refined rendering characteristics.

 

Both lenses are equipped with Viltrox’s STM autofocus system, delivering fast, accurate, and quiet focusing performance for both photography and video. Stable, highly responsive continuous autofocus tracking helps creators maintain focus on subjects, even in dynamic shooting environments.

 

Both lenses also feature a customizable Fn button, an AF/MF switch, and a switchable click/de-click aperture ring** for seamless transitions between photo and video workflows.

 

The Everyday Carry: Compact and Lightweight Designs

The two EVO lenses continue the series’ design language with a clean exterior, compact construction, and durable build quality. Each lens weighs under 355g*, providing a lightweight alternative to traditional telephoto portrait lenses without compromising performance. With a rubber-sealed lens mount and a smudge and water-resistant coating on the front element, they are well suited to outdoor conditions.
