Switronix Slims Down the Battery But Beefs Up the Power With Hypercore Updates
Switronix, a popular cinema battery brand, debuts slimmer batteries for gimbal and low-profile work.
Their popular Hypercore line is known not only for their distinctive logos, but also their informative LCD screens which display your remaining power. The updated batteries feature D-taps, are air-transportable and will ship in June for $290.
Switronix also showed us the year-old Hypercore Prime, a 200W battery that has the ability to separate in half to satisfy flight regulations. Lastly, we caught a glimpse at the HyperCine-X, an updated version of their HyperCine charger. It supports up to 4 block batteries and allows direct XLR powering off multiple batteries simultaneously for increased voltage output.
