Premium Members Afton Grant Posted June 17, 2009 Premium Members Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 Starting a feature in Maine this weekend. Shooting on the F35 (two-piece mode). I am looking for an on-camera power solution and wanted to see if anyone had a set of PowerCubes they would be willing to rent to the production for the duration of the shoot (three weeks - approx through July 12). Please get in touch with me if so. PM me or phone and email are on my website. Thanks very much, Afton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Members Afton Grant Posted June 17, 2009 Author Premium Members Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 Did you try Panavision in New York? They have them. Unfortunately, since the camera itself is not coming from Panavision, they're not willing to let out their batteries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members Iain Baird Posted June 17, 2009 Premium Members Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 I did five months on the Genesis last year in two piece mode and found that 1 Anton Bauer 140 mounted to the back of the camera would run the camera for 45mins -1 hour. The deck and toaster were in a scuba knapsack (well ventilated!) powered by three 140's on a belt battery that thankfully was being carried by someone other than me. The rear battery mount and belt battery were built by Panavision Toronto with diodes in the belt to prevent cross-charging. We had plenty of 140's with a few multi chargers and never ran into any power problems. Other than the cables running off the rig I personally loved the weight and feel of the camera the way it was setup. The DP wanted to record 4-4-4 so we actually had 2 cables off the rig. Thankfully this season we have switched to SSR and combined with the Camwave I feel like a free man again. IAIN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
