- I use various batteries including the latest in solar generators to provide portable power that you can be recharged using the sun. Check out my two favorite batteries from Maxoak in this video. ⬇️More INFO below⬇️

Tom thanks so much for providing this information. These solar capable battery banks are a really terrific asset for all of us independent filmmakers. Additionally I live in Southern California so having portable back up power that is solar renewable is just a good idea in earthquake country.
I've had a Goal Zero Yeti 1400 for about a year and a half. I use it all the time. I installed an MPPT charge controller for more efficient solar charging. Such a useful tool for filmmaking, camping, or backup power when hurricanes come haha. Great topic!
Thank you! I was struggling to find a guide on portable power banks that went in depth and gave relevant examples to what I was looking for. That example you gave with the Aputure lights was perfect. This video is exactly what I was looking for
Thanks for the idea. I ended up buying 4 Jackery 160's. I use 3 of the Jackerys to power my 3 80W LED lights and the 4th Jackery I use for my bmpcc 4k, ninja V and my phone (about 32W total). Having one Jackery per light makes the lights very portable with no extension cords. I love having AC, regulated 12V and USB all in one battery system - so convenient. The 160 model only weights 3.8 pounds. Having the separate power stations lets me charge them all at the same time which is much faster than charging one really big power station. Interesting tradeoffs.
I’ve been thinking about doing this!! You beat me to it!
Justin Phillip my dude what’s up
I think Tom is my spirit camera animal
I was looking at those very chargers. Great video!
Tom! In another video I saw you doing weird stuff when selecting skin matte in Davinci Resolve. Little tip! :) - When making a matte selections on skin, YOU SHOULD ALWAYS DENOISE AND/OR BLUR IT!!!!!! with the controls situated just right to the Qualifier tab, in the "Matte Finesse" tab! You are very talented, you should have come to Resolve earlier, it is for professionals, stuff you can't do in FCPX etc.!!! "Denoise" removes littles specks in selection. "Blur" blurs the edges of selection (and edges of noise particles if present). Clean Black and Clean White eats out little particles (black/white - selected/non selected part) by shrinking them - cleaning the selection from debris.
This is more important in noisy material. Most often you don't want sharp edges in selection when selecting skin tones. Depends on what you do with the selection - if you change the color, then the noise specks in selection have the original color.
I've been using Resolve for color grading since 2009 and I know about blurring the selections etc. Thanks for the tip and for coming over to check out my video.
@@TomAntos Very nice! Either way, you are very talented in all your work - shooting, lighting and VFX and more! Good eye for composition and natural flow in VFX! You're an inspiration! Was just wondering, no problem!! Maybe you were just busy in that video, no time to finesse, np!!!! :)
Thanks Tom sir
If I'm doing my math correctly, this will power my two 150w LED softboxes for over an hour. SOLD.
which battery station are you referring to?
this is an amazing insight into the build, i just subscribed i also have built a 50 watts, 75 watts panel and 2 wind turbines on my channel successfully
Tesla makes their own batteries and Panasonic has been their partner until recently when they bought Maxwell Technologies!
They also buy batteries since they can't meet their own demands. Check out the headlines from 4 days ago "Tesla Inc. agreed to buy batteries from South Korea’s LG Chem Ltd. to be used in electric vehicles"
Thanks for this video. Is it possible to daisy chain 2 packs together? Example: Could I plug up one pack to a solar panel and then plug another pack in to the first pack to receive a (relatively}constant charge as its being used? I know that this may be a rare situation but to know that it would be possible to do so would be a plus.
Yes you can. You can plug the ac charger from one to the AC plug of the unit that is connected to the solar panels and it would be charging both.
Hey Tom!! Great video!! How long do you think a quasar light 4inch will last with the small unit?
Interesting! Are the weather sealed?
Thanks for sharing this video! I'm wondering: Does Maxoak make a solar array? I assume this would be an additional item that would be needed.
Maxoak doesn't but you can get any of the panels I listed in the description and they will work great with these generators.
Hey Thomas, have you seen anywhere that will rent these, or something similar?
It's official doomsday comes I'm coming to you to charge my phone lol.
👍
hey Tom， got any RGB light video review ?
if im powering 2 amaran 200d's how many hours can I get at "full power" using the larger blueetti eb150?
1kw, not a thousand lol. For on location works I throw a little 1.2kw whisper quiet generator for my charging station.
1000 watts is 1 kilowatt its the same thing and both terms are correct
@@TomAntos I meant it as a joke Tom 😅, as long as I don't have to carry it too far I think the 400w one might be enough to recharge drone batteries on the go.
1500 dollar battery vs a 299 dollar 2000w generator
I know it really doesn't matter and I usually don't care - but DAMN that is one ugly battery on the left! Looks like a mini fridge :D
Hey, stop insulting my girlfriend
@@YoungBlaze Hah, LOOOOL!
Use the Metric System only!!!
Literally wouldn't even power a 1k HMI. How can you use this?
