4x Anton Bauer Cine 150 Batteries - Gold Mount

Encased in a compact, brick-like enclosure, Anton Bauer's Cine 150 GM Battery is designed to fit on run-and-gun and built-up cinema rigs. Based on a Gold mount, Cine 150 GM batteries will charge in Anton-Bauer Gold mount chargers. The low-profile industrial design blends with the aesthetic conventions of modern cinema cameras, while also being easy to store when not in use. Inside the battery, individual cell activity monitoring prevents cell failure from over-current and excessive temperatures. And in the case of extreme impact or thermal damage, Fuse Link technology provides protection to nearby cells, thereby preventing consecutive cell ruptures. Cine 150 GM batteries feature an LCD screen which displays battery capacity in run-time when power is being drawn or in percentage when there is no draw. Between the Gold mount and the P-tap accessory output, the Cine 150 GM battery supports up to 12 amps of continuous power draw, and with its 150 watt-hour capacity, it's great for power-hungry cinema cameras, lights, and accessories.

OWNER NOTES

Monitor your camera's feed completely free of wires with the SmallHD 703 Bolt 7" Wireless Director's Monitor Bundle. This bundle adds a Gold mount plate, side handles, and a neck strap to complement the monitor itself. Since the monitor can now operate on battery power from a separately available battery, with a compatible wireless connection, the 703 Bolt can be taken around the set fully untethered.
Borrowing the wireless technology from Teradek, the 703 Bolt can receive uncompressed HD wireless signals from Bolt 500, 1000, or 3000 transmitters up to 300' away with no perceptible latency. With this feature, anyone can walk around the set while monitoring a camera feed, perfect for directors and camera assistants. Furthermore, despite the presence of a wireless receiver, the 703 Bolt maintains a slim profile similar to on-camera monitors.
A unibody aluminum exterior keeps the monitor durable yet lightweight, while also acting as a heatsink for the internal electronics. The LCD panel itself is protected by a layer of optically-bonded Gorilla Glass, notable for its transparency and toughness. The optical bonding process ensures that blacks are not washed out and reduces the harshness of reflections.
On the rear of the display is the SDI I/O. Having dual SDI ports allows for A/B viewing of two different SDI signals, or the secondary port can be assigned as an output for sending an SDI signal downstream to another monitor, switcher, or wireless accessory. All the functionality of the monitor is available via the PageBuilder OS, which provides advanced functionality with a simple and efficient graphical user interface.

  • Shade
  • Polarizer Filter
  • Support
  • PL to EF Adapter

OWNER NOTES

he Cine-Servo 17-120mm T2.95 with EF mount from Canon is designed to combine the functionality and form factor of a broadcast, ENG-style motorized zoom lens with the optical precision of a cinema zoom. The lens is designed for use on cinema cameras with sensors up to Super 35mm (26.2 x 13.8mm) in size and is suitable for 4K acquisition. With a detachable drive mechanism and support for rod attachment, it is designed to be equally at home whether being used by a solo camera operator or a full production team.
With a 17 to 120mm focal length, the lens features 7x zoom and has a maximum aperture of T 2.95 when set to 91mm or wider. Additionally, it features an 11 blade iris to create circular bokeh patterns as well as to reduce refraction. For ENG-style shooters the lens drive features servo motors powering zoom, focus, and iris. The lens can be connected to the camera either using a standard 12-pin connector or will communicate directly through the lens mount when attached to compatible cameras. Three 20-pin connectors below the servo housing allow many Canon and third-party zoom, focus, and iris controllers to be connected.

Benjamin's A7sII was my first Kitsplit rental and I could not have had a better experience. He was very quick to respond to my request and answered all of my questions regarding the gear. All of the accessories in the package were in great condition and I did not have any problems during production. I am glad to have had such a positive first experience with Kitsplit and I would highly recommend Benjamin for future rentals.
