We’ve all been there, even on the smallest or most DIY of shoots; everything is going great until it suddenly is not when you run out of power. Such is life for the battery-dependent filmmaker or video content pro.
However, it doesn’t have to be that way. You could always be sure to bring enough batteries and power for your shoots. Or, even if you do, things happen, and having a customized power station at your disposal might be the better trick.
Let’s take a look at the new Core SWX PowerVault Base System and see if this might be the right solution for your production needs.

Designed by Core SWX to be a customizable power station that filmmakers or crews can rig to work perfectly with their specific gear configurations, this Core SWX PowerVault Base System has a lot to offer for filmmakers working remotely and with limited space for batteries.
Everything in this Core SWX PowerVault Base System is housed inside an IP65-rated transport case for portability and packed with a ton of battery charging and power management perks. This version, available with a special discount on B&H, comes with three Gold mount charge adapters that can easily fit into three of the five configurable charging bays.
Crews can further customize the system using separately available charge adapters for use with V-mount, Canon LP-E6, Sony NP-F, and other battery series. Plus, for fast charging, each bay can deliver up to 48W simultaneously.
