SWAP-pack at NAB

840 usd for the swap pack.

Does it discharge batteries one by one or at the same time?
Which info is passed on, for instance if one battery is full and one on 50%?

I've been using one of these for a few months. I am very happy with it, saves a lot of time. It is not however made to run two batteries at a time, when one starts to get low, you just put another one on and take the first one off. You can then flip the plate around so the new battery is in the exact same place as was the previous one, very useful when your camera is carefully balanced, such as on a steadicam.

I also use ActionProducts Powerbox to run multiple accessories : AJA down converter, Transvideo HF transmitter and motorized FF ; also definitely a great product.

Cheers,
Damien

So can this swivel/rotate as well as tilt? Can it do all the same while attached to the powerbox? Is that what the hole ontop of the powerbox is for?
