Why not go with the maximum? B-Mount batteries from bebob raise the bar A s camera and lighting tech has become more capable and power-hungry, the established
Compared to less-powerful 26v batteries with a 20A peak amperage only, bebob B-Mount can provide a 20A continuous discharge current – so 450W continuous power. Secure set-ups need the highest continuous amperage possible, regardless of equipment, power inrush or continuous consumption on- set. bebob B-Mount batteries guarantee 20A continuous amperage and 450W continuous power, since all components and circuit designs are quality, durable and withstand high power easily. Together with a broad portfolio of customised adapter plates, the bebob B-Mount range is currently the most powerful in the market.
14.4v battery systems are being pushed to the limit. To meet the increasing power consumption of today’s gear above 200W, DOPs and camera operators need a system that delivers extra power, such as 290W or more. Traditional Gold Mount and V-Mount have been designed around 12v and 160W (or max 200W with customised power delivery pins). Despite various workarounds, it’s never been a long-term solution. That’s why German battery manufacturer bebob has created the B-Mount, designed for 14.4v and 28.8v and continuous power delivery of 450W. Developed in close consultation with ARRI, this system offers significant advantages over previous systems, including smooth mechanics and universal battery communication. Max power, max efficacy The B-Mount interface has the potential for increased power almost three times greater than traditional 14.4v set-ups. Providing true native dual-voltage capabilities (14.4v and 28.8v) along with 450W, it can be used with a wide range of camera and lighting equipment – making it possible to supply all devices on-set with a single battery system. Especially if the units are dual-voltage capable – as is currently the case with B-Mount batteries from bebob. Adapting to the needs of the individual device, they can deliver both native 14.4v and native 28.8v – which means there is no up-conversion necessary to amplify voltage from 14.4v to 28.8v.
B-Mount design is heavily robust and provides the opportunity for advanced communication between batteries and camera or lighting equipment, facilitating very accurate readouts of remaining runtime and charge time. Gradually, 28.8v systems will take over. To cover all on-set needs and the increasing power consumption of modern equipment, we will move toward a single standard that delivers both 28.8v and 14.4v, ensuring maximum wattage and amperage at the same time. bebob has kickstarted a battery revolution that should lead to less complexity and more future-proofing for the entire industry.
Future-proof in any regard As well as providing a sustainable and high-power solution for the industry, the
ULTRA-POWERFUL With 475Wh, 20A and 14.4/28.8v, the B480cine is the largest B-Mount in terms of capacity and performance
