Premium Members Eric Fletcher S.O.C. Posted August 2, 2006 Premium Members Report Share Posted August 2, 2006 Check out page 93 of this months American Cinematographer. Basson has an ad for their rig with such selling features as a built in 3.4 amp/hr LEAD ACID battery and 12v female lighter plugs for power out. They are also proud of offering "Double RCA A/V Out, 12V Minijack, (Polarity + to center)" One of those things that make you go Hmmmmm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members Stephen Murphy Posted August 2, 2006 Premium Members Report Share Posted August 2, 2006 Noticed that myself this morning. Surely that rig bears enough of a passing resemblance to the Masters series to be infringing on one or more copyright laws? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members Eric Fletcher S.O.C. Posted August 2, 2006 Author Premium Members Report Share Posted August 2, 2006 Not copyright, but Design Patent, although I think it's expired by now. But man looking at that ad you really wonder what they think and what is going thru peoples minds when they read it. Seriously RCA A/V Inputs and Lead Acid batteries???

Moderators Alec Jarnagin SOC Posted August 2, 2006 Moderators Report Share Posted August 2, 2006 I saw it as well and got a good belly chuckle. Seriously, lead acid????? Off to shoot a fire scene (burning house) on this wonderfully cool day in NYC! Ugh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
