Anton/Bauer CINE Battery: Available In V-Mount

For decades, Anton/Bauer batteries only came in Gold Mount®, but now, thanks to industry demand, they come in V-Mount so that a wider range of filmmakers can benefit from long-lasting power on set.

And not only does Anton/Bauer develop V-Mount batteries, they've also improved on the lock so that the connection is tighter than any other brands. With a high-quality 5-pin connector that doesn't burn out, the battery's secure fit eliminates power delivery loss to the camera so the user can take full advantage of all 12 amps of continuous power.

Phil Holland, one of the first filmmakers to shoot with RED Digital Company's new 8K RED WEAPON Vista Vision/full-frame 35mm camera, only uses Anton/Bauer's V-Mount CINE batteries on his 4K and 8K shoots.

"Every set I've been on has Anton/Bauer batteries," said Holland. "Typically, especially for V-Mount, other batteries tend to protrude high above the camera, but the CINE batteries are low profile and keep the camera balanced and weighted properly while I shoot. They're short, cubic in shape, and fit the form factor of these modern digital cinema cameras perfectly. It's the first time we've seen any innovation in terms of the design of these lighting bricks."

Anton/Bauer's V-Mount CINE batteries are built with the same technology as with the Gold Mount version, so users still get a PowerTap® to power 14V accessories and a LCD that shows the battery's charge in time and minutes when it's on the camera and as a percentage when off.
