User Ratings and Reviews
3 Stars Works as advertised though overall quality is slightly below average.
This strobe works as advertized. It is a fairly large unit and its sensitivity knob for sensing sound and beat works well. But I would say the quality is slightly below average because it is made of plastic and right out of the box one of the knobs that holds and tightens the mounting bracket was already stripped and I couldn’t tighten the unit to the bracket. I don’t recommend this product for professional or heavy use. Another Chauvet product I own (colored light ball) is made of metal and has lasted through several years of use.
5 Stars Potential Disappointment
Chauvet ST-2000S Techno Strobe Light 2000S
I know I’m going to disappoint some Chauvet customers, but I did NOT buy this for party use!
My projects include stop motion photography along with High Speed photography. The actual physical size of the unit is much larger than I’d anticipated, The lens diameter is approximately 8″ and the length approximately 10″. This isn’t an issue for my needs, or an indictment of the product, just information for those who might need it.
The flash is VERY bright, well into the range of my stronger (dedicated) photo flashes. Both the trigger, the auto and the music modes work quite well. In the music mode the music volume needs to be relatively loud and the strobe near the source of the sound.
This unit, like most with high output energy (and subsequent heat) has a duty cycle of 20 minutes at maximum power. This is absolutely normal for this kind of device, and it’s a shame so many reviewers don’t understand that concept.
All in all, a VERY impressive unit for a good price. Should we outgrow this unit (in our photo needs) we’ll add more of this model for additional and extended lighting.
Five stars for this one!
5 Stars superb
does the job perfect…great for parties…the light a lil sharp…better for bigger areas…was too much for our lil space…but they are great!
5 Stars Great for a Halloween strobe effect in your garage
Last Halloween, I purchased and mounted the Chauvet Techno Strobe above my garage door after having researched many strobe lights on the market.
I wanted one that was bright, relatively inexpensive and had a built-in mic with adjustable speed. This model certainly fit the bill. With the built-in mic, I got what I wanted, which was a random flash, and not a steady tempo flash. This gave more of a lightning effect which is what I wanted to go along with the haunted “slaughter room” we had constructed in the garage.
Being a former mobile DJ, I have send and worked with my share of strobe lights. This strobe is a keeper. Highly recommended!

5 Stars Unbelievably long-lasting
Yes, this battery is expensive, but not
considering what it does. I really expected
maybe 5 hours from it, given that it’s “only”
about twice as big as the standard one hour model.
In fact, I got 7 to 11 hours off of a full charge,
depending on whether it was being used to
record (7) or play/edit (11). This was phenomenal,
as I was away from electricity for 5 days at a time.
Bulky? Yeah. But consider the bulk of 10 standard batts!
I keep the stock battery handy, for when I need to use the
viewfinder…but this battery’s staying power blew me away…
1 Star Help me place an order
If someone at Amazon.com would, please assist me with placing an order, I sure would appreciate it very very much. I don’t know anywhere else to try to get anybody’s attention. So I am writing to ya from this placement.
Thanks.

5 Stars Should have came with the camera!
This is a nice battery! It should have come w/ the camera in the first place, not that tiny little battery!! This one lasts like 615 minutes or so…it’s just about 3″ long though! Nice, and must have for the Sony!
5 Stars BUY GENUINE SONY PRODUCTS !
I bought a off brand for $70 thinking I would save $ and was told it would work fine, WRONG, it was a waste of $ and time, genuine sony is the best, BUY THE REAL SONY BATTERY !! AND DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY !
5 Stars Great battery
Product received on time and in good condition. This is a great battery. It’s more than enough recording time for the length of any vacation or event. It’s much bigger than the standard battery that comes with most products, but what do you expect? In this case, size does matter if you want more recording time. For my Sony SR12 hard drive camcorder, recording at the highest resolution, the battery can record for up to 7-8 hours. I haven’t had a chance to test it, but that’s what the display shows.
The battery does take overnight to charge, but that’s no big deal as you won’t need to charge it too often.

4 Stars Sony Quality
While there are cheaper “after market” batteries you should remember the old saying “You get what you pay for” will best describe my position on this purchase. In the past I have wasted too many dollars on junk batteries to power my expensive camcorder. Sony…Great quality……Great battery.
5 Stars Excellent Customer Service
I just got this battery today and I couldn’t be happier. I received it barely six days after placing the order. I shall definitely buy again from this seller and would recommend him to a friend.
5 Stars Great Battery
Battery shows 240min life after a full charge, which was more than I was expecting. It is relatively light, and does not look much more bulky than the stock battery. Definitely a good buy.
1 Star Cancelled!
I ordered this product from via Amazon but through Cameta Camera for $39.99. Two days later Cameta Camera cancels the order for no reason. I look now and the price for the same battery is now $15+ higher. Amzan through its agent Cameta is not honoring the purchase.
5 Stars Sony extended use battery
Nice battery almost the same size as the original battery, though, almost twice the capacity and time use. Very fast delivery and original product.

5 Stars Nice to have a extra battery
I was surprised how long this battery lasted. It was useful to have extra batteries while traveling. Now, I’m able to capture all those special moments.
5 Stars Great Battery for your Camcorder.
It works as described.
It is compact and easy to use;
A must for your handycam.
1 Star Not the original size!
This is a Sony battery, and it fits the Sony HDR-CX12, but beware that it IS NOT the original sized battery. This is a very small battery and sinks deeply into the battery slot of the video camera. Extraction is not an easy task. I bought due to the Amazon recommendation as an accessory, but would not buy had I known the size. Go up in size to the NPFH70 H series for a better fit and a longer lasting battery.
4 Stars Good
Havent used it very much so far, so therefore I dont know how long it lasts well, but for those few times I tried it, seemed to be good.
5 Stars Great Sony Cam Battery
I got this as a spare battery - and use it all the time. Works great.
