Hey good people, need help making a decision. OK, I have the Canon C100 and I want to connect it with the sled of the Scout. The sled has a BNC connection whereas the C100 has an HDMI; so I'm looking for an HDMI to SDI converter. I'm between the Atomos: H2S & AJA: HA5 Small Comparison on the features I'm considering: Powering-Up AJA: can be powered straight from the Sled (w/ extra accesorry-if I'm not mistaken) Atomos: Has internal battery & takes external Sony batteries (one is included) Mounting AJA: not sure Atomos: attaches to my Atomos Ninja 2 (w/ not extra cables) which i'll be using with the Scout Extra Uses/Attributes AJA: can embed audio Atomos: very small & has a flashlight mode for dark places Price The Atomos is around £70/$120 cheape than the AJA, depending where you look. Did I leave anything important out that I should consider? All opinions welcome!

hey yall I have been doing a lot of location shoots with limited power resources. I realize I can grab a genny, but I really dont like burning gallons of gas throughout the day near my gear just to keep batteries fresh, power a laptop, download cards, etc. Typically I will run a laptop off of a Versa battery, plug batteries into the moho, or come up with the typical methods for powering gear throughout the day, but I am considering a few electrical modifications to my 4Runner to make it a more well-rounded tool in my kit. First, are there any power inverters that you would recommend for use in 12v power outlets in a vehicle? I have one (Vec024CA )and have been using it for years, and now it is blowing a fuse in my truck, so I am looking for recommendations based on our profession's/community's needs. Second, I am thinking about installing a second battery into my vehicle, maybe a motorcycle battery, and running it on a constant setting so that the vehicle does not have to be on in order to use the power. Then running wire towards the back of the vehicle and installing a standard wall outlet for powering batteries, laptops, etc, unless a cigarette-outlet style is required. This way I can recharge the battery with a trickle charger overnight, as I do with motorcycles, or maybe there is a way of having the vehicle recharge it. has anyone modified their vehicle to be more power efficient for the use of equipment? I have been reading a lot of posts on T4R.org as well as other 4Runner forums, but I am interested in what other operators have done. brett.
