PAG
paguk.com
PAG is boasting its new Mini PAGlink system of smaller and lighter linking batteries in 50Wh and 99Wh capacities. The new range is designed to power 4K+ cameras and accessories simultaneously, while maintaining compatibility with larger cameras. The Mini PAGlink system has all the benefits of PAGlink’s patented technology, which allows batteries of any rated capacity, in any state of charge, to be linked intelligently for charge or discharge. The batteries also feature user-configurable outputs; a fixed D-Tap is accompanied by a removable USB (2A) unit, which can be swapped easily by the user for a Lemo, Hirose or another D-Tap unit. The batteries give you the ability to control the weight and capacity of your power source to suit the application. If you’re shooting handheld, you can keep it light with just one or two batteries. If your set-up is tripod mounted and includes multiple accessories, you can use two or three batteries to provide a longer run-time. Mini PAGlink batteries can be charged individually or linked using existing PAGlink chargers. PAG also offers the new, travel-sized Micro Charger, which can be powered from a USB-C PD laptop battery charger. Two fully discharged 99Wh batteries can be full charged in eight hours using a 30W PD charger.
