Extended batteries run time...

[vincent kardasik]

Hi,
While waiting for a "normal" V-Mount adapter, what is your solution for "long time" operation with your Raptor?
I've long interviews to shoot, 3 to 4 hours and my 150wh batteries are not enough.
I'm thinking about adding rods and an external battery but I'm still looking for a proper "power" cable.
Ignite Digi has a proper D-Tap cable, it's pricey and I wonder what it's worth...
Any recommandation, tips, etc... Would be more than appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Vincent.

Don't forget the power outlets (and long cables) with all the V-Mount discussions

If you don’t want to go the wall power route then I’ve read some people are running these…

I guess this could be a good, silent solution since you mentioned you needed something for interviews.

Id go for the ignite HammerHead on rods using 2xTB50 DJI batteries. I’m getting about 2 hour runtime recording with Geminis. I

Not always on option when shooting outside

Thanks for this Jeremey. If I could find something easier to carry and to travel with, that would be better.

Quite interesting, especially with hot swapping possibility.
With DSMC2 I used PAG batteries stuck together.
I would love to find the same option as the HammerHead but with V-Mount instead of DJI batteries.
