ANTON/BAUER antonbauer.com

On Vitec’s stand is Anton/Bauer’s range of Titon ‘smart’ lithium-ion batteries, a good choice for filmmakers on the move, powering a wide range of gear on-set or out in the field. Titon batteries are available in V-Mount or Gold Mount and 90Wh and 150Wh models. They use Anton/Bauer’s mobile power technology, regardless of battery mounting or charge choice. With the on-board LCD or through your camera’s viewfinder, you will know exactly how much runtime remains, down to the minute. Titon smart technology considers and calculates everything being powered, even devices powered by the high-speed USB and P-Tap ports, leaving crews free to focus on the shoot. The batteries are lightweight, reliable and travel-safe. And high-quality cells in a tough and rugged case deliver consistent power to even the most demanding users in temperatures ranging from -20°C to 60°C.

ARRI

The big news for Arri at the moment is the huge impact its Alexa Mini LF has had, especially as the main camera for the movie 1917 . On its stand, there is going to be the new Mini LF and the Signature Primes – the combination that was used in the world war one film by DOP Roger Deakins. The renowned DOP often visits the BSC Expo if he isn’t working, so look out for that shock of silver hair bobbing around the show. Also on the stand is Arri’s new directional light unit, called Orbiter. The light has lots of firsts for the brand including the use of manually changeable optics, a new six-colour light engine called Spectra and its own operating system called LiOS (Lighting Operating System). Orbiter’s processor is four times as powerful as the SkyPanel’s with 125 times more memory. Get ready for plenty of new feature upgrades.
