Batteries: The XP-L90A and Powerbase-70 batteries were extremely reliable keeping our Panasonic 3700’s, Canon DSLR’s and lights running for hours in temperatures as low as 20 degrees in wet, hostile environments. The LED power indicator was highly accurate, granting us peace of mind during critical nature shoots and interviews. The DSLR batteries powered BarTech remote focus systems, cameras, lights and held up as good and in some cases lasted longer than equivalent competitor batteries. We were able to charge these batteries in any of our chargers without worry. Half-charged batteries charged to full with no loss of run time over a period of heavy use for over 2 months!
FLEX Remote: The FLEX-RC1 remote with additional length for our crane provided a high enough emission of IR to work realiably every time in direct sunlight while shooting on an island in Bay Jimmy, Lousiana besieged by oil. The FLEX remote made it easy to conduct interviews in car shoots as we operated 2 DSLRS from one controller!
Switronix has filled a broad void in the realm of DSLR and full-sized professional gear. I highly recommend their equipment for all your shooting and lighting needs!
