I am VERY happy to present this GROUP BUY from BLUESHAPE USA. Inc. The four packages listed below, include chargers & batteries. Buyers can purchase additional batteries, as listed.

These batteries are designed to be drop-proof, with cells encased before assembly, all wiring eliminated, double-thick contact plates, eight secure assembly points, mounting bracket secured to metal and all surrounded by an automotive grade resin shell. All V-mount batteries are rated at least IP54. The construction cut away, on display at NAB, was a particularly appealing point to me, especially with V mount, powered lighting options…

The largest-selling BLUESHAPE battery is the BV090, which gives up to 9A draw, with 2 D-taps, break-resistant and IP54 rated for water & dust resistance.

The BV100HD is a high-demand (up to 12A) battery approved for air travel, per Blueshape, Break-resistant, IP54 rated for water & dust resistance, 2 D-taps, the battery will give superior performance with even the most-demanding applications.

The BV190HD is a high-demand battery with a higher capacity than the BV100HD and will power the lights, other remote apps and the most-demanding cameras.

The BV270HD is a high-demand battery, the largest on-device battery on the market and will power the most-demanding cameras (including ultra-high speed and digital film-styles), giving the most power available for lights and other remote applications.

The SPLASH series of batteries are a water-proof version of the HD series made for lighting applications but usable by any V-mount. The D-taps have been sealed for water resistance and a special gasket seals the battery shell.

The CVTR2 battery charger is a 2 place sequential portable charger that operates from either wall current or through the optional car-accessory plug. The support foot tucks into the base for a small travel profile. The most versatile charger in the BLUESHAPE line, the CVS8X has an easily-transported lunchbox design. The charger will quick-charge 2 batteries on the front mounts or 4 batteries SIMULTANEOUSLY and has expansion ports for mounting up to 4 optional outboard plates that charge sequentially. The battery-health software will be provided with any charger purchased through the Group Buy!

The tier pricing listed below, will be final, the sooner of either the quantity of Buyers attaining the last tier, or July 24, 2015. If a Participant desires to order a package prior to, the ultimate tier quota, noted above, or the conclusion of the GB, the then in place tier pricing shall apply.

Freight to ship to the lower 48 states is given. Other areas will have; freight, currency calculated plus VAT & duties, added as required.

No gold mount love from Blueshape?

Hi Bob,

We'll see. I have already had several requests for specific products, within the Blueshape line. I tried to make the GB somewhat focused in one product line, but I can see where this may have to be expanded, whilst trying to avoid an unwieldily accounting project.

At any rate, stay tuned. I should be able to make this a Gold Mount Love Fest on Monday, if all goes well. For now, we'll stay with the V flavour though.

Thank you very much

Fury
 
Good luck with this Fury!!

Love this batteries especially the HD90's and HD270's with the Quad chargers... :)

Hi KETCH!

That is quite a committment to Blueshape you have there. Could you share any of the points that swayed you to choosing them, as have other top cinematographers?

Hi ALL!

Please check post #2 in this thread, for updates. I have had varying requests for additional items, which I shall post there vecause of the character limit per post.

Thank you very much

Fury
 
I was super-impressed with Blueshape at NAB. Now... if I have any money... :-/

ALso see this, from Blueshape:


The HD series is designed to release its power more easily, making the batteries able to power the ARRI ALexa, the Phantom 4K, the REd One and many lights that would otherwise eat batteries alive. . BLUESHAPE now makes the plate; we use upgraded contacts and have more than doubled the gauge of the wiring. This was necessary to avoid overheating of the plates, etc. for very high demand current applications.


The battery programming does two things:


1. Each use, the battery delivers more power for full performance of the device and a longer run time.


2. The overall life of the battery is extended. We have user experience in the 600 and 700 cycles range with batteries over 5 years old. (A BLUESHAPE cycle is a true 100%; the firmware in the battery remembers each charge; when the total hits 100%, the count advances to the next cycle.

Thank you very much

I love the 190HD batteries we have. I will be sure to get in line for this.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't they offer refurbish service where you pay half price for swapping out inner battery cells with brand new ones? I remember reading something like that on their website when I bought my batteries.
 
Will do Scott!

BTW, due to popular request, we have the ear of the factory, as regards Gold Mount Batteries. I have received several PM's about that possibility. It would be helpful, for all who have interest in that battery type, to express that here. If not for this GB, hopefully the next...

Thank you very much

Some accessories and cable connections for the proprietary Blue "BubblePack" system. Lots of possibilities and powering options. The USB port is a welcome bonus on the battery plate.:
