Recommended Camera Kit
The ways to rig your camera are limitless, it all depends on your shoot and budgets. Here is one of our favorite rigs, ideally suited for a cinematic application where weight matters.
Battery Power
Designed to withstand the toughest assignments in the most extreme environments, Titon is the lightweight, reliable, travel-safe choice when capturing the shot on the first take is critical.
The Sony FS7 draws approximately 28 watts of power so Anton/Bauer Titon batteries are the ideal compact power source. Available in both V-Mount and Gold Mount, you can choose from 90Wh or 150Wh batteries.
Mounting the Titon battery
You can easily run your Sony FS7 from a V-Mount or Gold Mount Titon battery with Anton/Bauer’s dedicated camera battery brackets.
* V Mount Solution – Powering with Titon V-Mount 90Wh or 150Wh batteries requires an optional Sony XDCA-FS7 Extension Unit.
* Gold Mount Solution – Powering with Titon Gold Mount 90Wh or 150Wh batteries will require an Anton/Bauer QRC-FS7 to place on top of the optional Sony XDCA-FS7 Extension Unit.
Charging the Titon battery
For charging Titon series batteries, the Anton/Bauer LP Chargers are the perfect choice. LP chargers can rapidly charge of up to two or four batteries at the same time, while conserving energy and prolonging battery life to reduce the total cost of ownership. Be sure to match the mounting plate on the LP chargers with the mounting style of the Titon batteries selected (V-Mount or Gold Mount).
