Anyone renting batteries in Australia?

[Luke Holwerda]

I've ordered 6 of the Globalmediapro batteries, but it looks like they won't reach me here in Arizona before I leave on my trip to Australia. Does anyone in Australia (Sydney specifically) have or know of a rental house that has 4-6 V-mount batteries available? I suppose I could pick up in the Phoenix / LA area too...

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

"LeMac" in Sydney I'm sure would be able to look after you.

Hey Luke, got your PM but wanted to answer here to spark more responses for you.

Are the batteries low watt enough to fly with? Batteries around the world are being confiscated at airports so plan accordingly.

Best of luck!

Thanks Jim!

I was looking into battery restrictions... with large capacity batteries, each passenger is allowed to CARRY ON (not check) a bag with one battery installed in the device, and two spares. I'll be bringing a printed copy of the rules in case it comes up at the security gate tho.
