If you power your camera rig using a V-Lock or Gold mount battery, it’s always a good idea to carry a D-Tap voltmeter in your camera bag. Indeed, when this small device is plugged into a D-Tap power source, it can provide a clear reading of the remaining battery life, thus helping you avoid unwanted shutdowns in the middle of a shot. This is especially useful if your camera and battery (or battery plate) can’t communicate with each other.

Last year, Italian company Hovervolt introduced the Volt One, a simple voltmeter with a built-in display that can be plugged directly into a D-Tap port. Now, they are following it up with a wired version, called Cable One. Let’s take a closer look!

Hovervolt Cable One Voltmeter – features

The Hovervolt Cable One is a tiny voltage meter (52x21x16,5 mm) with a color display showcasing the level of charge of the battery it is connected to. Just like with the existing Volt-One D-Tap voltmeter, there are 4 different color display options available:

• Ultra bright green (for outdoor use);
• High bright blue;
• Standard bright red;
• Low bright amber (suitable for studio applications).

This time, however, the voltmeter is equipped with a 1/4”-20 mounting point and a cable ending either in a D-Tap or a black LEMO 0B connector. You can choose from 4 different cable length options (10, 15, 20, or 25 cm).

This design allows you to mount the device anywhere on your camera rig. Moreover, the company stated that they will soon come up with a 1st AC-oriented version of this product, which will be even easier to attach on top of your focus monitor.

Finally, in addition to choosing between different display colors and cable lengths, you can customize the orientation of the display relative to the 1/4”-20 mounting hole and the direction of the D-Tap or LEMO cable to better suit your setup.

Price and availability

The new Hovervolt Cable One Voltmeter with D-Tap connector is already available to purchase for €37 (plus shipping). The LEMO version can be pre-ordered now for €47 (plus shipping) and should start shipping towards the end of this month.

Lexar is well-known for their data storage and memory solutions, such as their memory card Lexar CFexpress 4.0 Type B Diamond. With the Go Portable, they’ve truly come up with something interesting – a super-compact SSD that attaches to your phone or camera with an included hub featuring four Type-C ports, providing both storage and connectivity solutions in one package.

So how small is small…

Turns out – very small. The kit is impressively compact, measuring just 2.71×1.71×0.32in (6.88×4.35×0.81cm), while the Portable SSD itself is only 1.71×0.98×0.32in (4.35×2.48×0.81cm). This means the overall width of the kit is slightly narrower than that of an iPhone 15 Pro & Pro Max. Additionally, the SSD’s thickness is only 8.25mm/0.32in, which is close to that of the iPhone 15 Pro Max, and the entire kit weighs only about 35.83gms/0.079lbs, so its design should make it easy to attach to a phone and shouldn’t interfere with handheld recording. Plus, it offers up to 2TB of space.

The Hub

The hub features a variety of connectivity options, including four Type-C ports, enabling connections for a Portable SSD, microphones, power banks, and more. One port supports up to 30W PD charging and offers a transfer speed of 10Gbps. The versatility this hub offers will not only let you record Apple 4K ProRes videos externally but simultaneously handle audio and charging needs.

The Go Portable has a USB 3.2 Gen2 high-speed interface that features read speeds up to 1050MB/s and write speeds up to 1000MB/s.  The unit comes with a silicone protective case, has an IP65 rating for dust and water resistance, and can withstand drops of 1 meter, according to the company.

After releasing the highly affordable HD7H on-camera monitor a month ago, Chinese monitoring solutions specialist Portkeys is already back with one of their first director’s monitors: the HS8. The company continues to offer affordable monitoring solutions for filmmakers and content creators, and the HS8 is no different, as it comes packed with many exciting features for its price range, such as HDMI and SDI video input/output ports and a built-in Sony NP-F dummy battery plate with power passthrough, that can be used to power camera accessories such as a wireless video receiver.

Portkeys HS8 design and main features

The Portkeys HS8 is the first director monitor from the brand. Built of aluminum alloy, the HS8 weighs 675g/1.48 lbs and measures 208 x 133.7 x 50.5mm/8.18 x 5.26 x 0.20in. As people around the set usually touch the monitor, there is a user-replaceable protective glass that screws in front of the display, which is a nice add-on.

The 8-inch screen has a resolution of 1920 x 1200, a maximum brightness of 1,100 nits, and a contrast ratio of 1000:1. When you invest in this kind of gear, you want it to perform in as many situations as possible, and with these numbers, the monitor should perform in low-light interior scenes as well as exterior daylight shootings.

Another essential characteristic to look for in a monitor like this one, no matter its price range, is how color-accurate it is. In that regard, every HS8 unit is color-calibrated before it leaves the factory and features a 10-bit (8+2 FRC) panel.

Portkeys HS8 – a versatile director monitor 

Regarding connectivity, we can find the video and power input ports at the bottom of the monitor, which are recessed to prevent accidents. These ports include one DCI 4K60P HDMI and one 3G-SDI 1080P60 video input port, and an HDMI and one 3G-SDI video output port. Both video output ports support resolutions up to 1080P60. Furthermore, the Portkeys HS8 supports cross-conversion from HDMI input to SDI output and from SDI input to HDMI output. A 3D LUT can be output via the SDI and HDMI ports to assure consistency throughout the monitoring stages.

At the bottom, there is also a 3.5mm headphone jack and a USB-A port to install updates and custom LUTs. A DC 7-20V power input with a locking DC 5.5×2.1mm barrel connector powers the monitor for an extended time via a V-Mount/Gold Mount battery and the included D-TAP to screw-in DC power cable.

The HS8 features a dual Sony NP-F battery plate. Portkeys reports that two Sony NP-F970 batteries can power the monitor for around five hours. One of the most interesting characteristics is the addition of a Sony NP-F power output dummy battery with power passthrough (8V/10W) to connect and power a wireless video receiver at the back of the HS8. This plate can rotate 360° via the big yellow knob at the center.

At the back, we have VESA 100 x 100 mounting points to install the monitor on different supports by an optional monitor mount. At the top, the Portkeys HS8 has four user-assignable buttons, an On/Off switch, a button to switch from HDMI to SDI input, and a dual-function menu/scroll wheel.

For increased versatility, the unit features four 1/4″-20 mounting points with locating pins on each side of the monitor. In most scenarios where you would use this monitor, many accessories will be around, so it is always good to have the possibility to rig gear without the need for a cage. Anyway, the monitor could also be used bare without adding much weight to your monitoring setup for run-and-gun situations.

A suite of monitoring tools

The Portkeys HS8 features a bunch of tools that can be displayed simultaneously for a better and more accurate monitoring experience:

• 3D LUT monitoring with 3D LUT SDI output. Custom LUTs can be loaded via the USB-A port at the bottom of the monitor.
• RGB and Luma Waveform/Histogram exposure tools. Adjustable Zebra tool.
• Customizable False Color with 13 different colors, including ARRI False Color.
• Anamorphic image de-squeeze with all the standard ratios (1.33x, 1.5x, 2.0x) and customizable aspect ratio from 0.25 to 4.0x.
• Peaking and Zoom functions.
• 3G SDI Level A/B auto output and SDI transform from Progressive to Interlaced capabilities.
• Framing tools: crosshair, check field, guides, grids, rectangle crop.
• Audio meters.
• Monitor adjustments: black level, backlight, contrast, color temperature, sharpness, chroma, brightness, tint, HDR HLG, OSD Flip mode.

Price and availability 

The Portkeys HS8 is now available to order and retails for $399/€421.95. The monitor ships with a D-Tap to locking 5.5mm power cable, a screen cleaning wipe, a USB key, a set of M3 Allen screws, an Allen key, and replacement cup head gaskets for the protection screen.

Fuel-based power generators have long been the go-to choice for filmmakers shooting in remote locations where portable electricity is the only option to fire up lights or recharge batteries. However, for certain applications, they’re starting to be replaced by “greener” battery power stations that offer the added benefit of quieter operation.

BLUETTI is one of the major players in this field, and while their products are already popular among campers and outdoor enthusiasts, they can easily find their way into the van of adventure filmmakers, too. So, let’s take a look at what the new BLUETTI AC50B has to offer!

BLUETTI AC50B portable power station – features

The new BLUETTI AC50B portable power station has a power output rated at 700W and a nominal peak power of 1,050W. At its core, a 448Wh LiFePO₄ battery can be charged using AC power (max 580W). According to BLUETTI, this allows you to charge up to 80% of its capacity in just 45 minutes or charge it entirely in 70 minutes. Alternatively, you can use a solar panel (max 200W) – like BLUETTI’s own PV120 – to fully charge the unit in about 2.5 hours.

Efficient charging and optimization of energy consumption are achieved thanks to an AI-powered BMS (Battery Management System), which also protects the power station from overcharging, over-discharging, short circuits, and overheating. When you’re not adventuring outdoors, you can also use the AC50B as UPS unit that kicks in in just 0.02s when a power outage occurs, thus helping protect your precious gear.

The unit integrates a front LCD color display to monitor its status and offers six different outlets to power or charge a wide range of devices, such as cameras, drones, or even small lights. These include:

• 1x DC output (12V/10A)
• 2x AC output sockets (120V/700W)
• 2x USB-C outputs (65W)
• 1x USB-A output (15W)

Most importantly, the power station is reasonably compact and lightweight, weighing only 6.7kg/14.8 lbs. It also has an integrated handle that makes it easy to carry around when shooting in remote scenarios.

While not completely silent, the unit is claimed to be fairly quiet (around 50dB) during operation, which can help when recording sound on location. Lastly, the AC50B is equipped with Bluetooth and can be controlled via the BLUETTI smartphone app (iOS/Android). This allows you to control and monitor battery status, power consumption, updates, and more.

Price and availability

The new BLUETTI AC50B portable power station is already available on Amazon US. Its official retail price is set at $399.

However, the company is running a Prime Day Sale on their website until July 21st, so you can get your hands on the AC50B at an early-bird price of $299 (or $498 when purchasing the AC50B bundled with their PV120 solar panel). Finally, please keep in mind that BLUETTI Prime Day discounts also apply to other models, including some of their flagship generators, such as:

• AC200L (2,048Wh, expandable to 8,192Wh) – $1,299 ($300 off)
• AC500 & B300S (3,072Wh, expandable to 18,432Wh) – $3,099 ($900 off)
• AC300 & B300 (3,072Wh, expandable to 12,288Wh) – $2,099 ($100 off)

Earlier this year, American camera accessories manufacturer MID49 released their entire ecosystem of products for the Sony BURANO. At Cine Gear 2024, we met with the company to discuss the Rainbow Handle they were showcasing with the BURANO. As the company is always trying to solve real-life problems and make filmmakers’ lives easier, they just released two new small accessories: a monitor cover and an EVF loupe plug for the Sony BURANO.

MID49 Sony BURANO monitor cover and EVF loupe plug – features

Let’s start with the MID49 monitor cover for the Sony BURANO. This little 3D-printed flexible cover is designed to snap on the OLED panel to protect it. According to MID49, this cover “contours to fit Sony’s monitor with MID49’s EVF Pivot installed and also with the Sony knuckle directly on the screen’s side.”

The next little part that MID49 released is an EVF loupe plug. This dust cover is designed to snap to the loupe when you’re not using it. It helps keep the inside of the loupe clean, as it’s usually a dust trap and often not easy to clean once dust or fingerprints get stuck in it.

Price and availability

The monitor cover is available now for $25/€23.95, and the EVF loupe plug is $15/€14.95. As both products are 3D-printed, in an excellent move, MID49 is giving you access to the 3D digital files free of charge. This allows you to print both products at home if you have a 3D printer or send it to a local shop that has one.

For more information, please visit MID49’s website here.

As mirrorless cameras have become smaller and smaller over the years, always packed with higher resolutions/framerates/codecs, heat dissipation has become a problem. Indeed, most of these hybrid cameras are not designed to record footage for extended periods of time as it can cause overheating issues. One of the most well-known cameras with overheating problems is probably the Canon EOS R5/R6, which got a lot of attention at launch.

To solve this overheating issue, companies such as Tilta and Ulanzi developed small cooling systems that attach to the back of your camera, with the LCD screen open behind the camera sensor. SmallRig now offers three different cooling systems designed for Sony, Canon, and FUJIFILM mirrorless cameras.

SmallRig cooling system – features

The SmallRig cooling system is a small 7 x 5 x 2cm/2.75 x 1.96 x 0.78in unit made out of aluminum and plastic. This versatile unit comes with eight mounting brackets, making it compatible with multiple cameras, including:

• The Sony ZV-E10 / ZV-1 / ZV-E1 / a7 IV / a7S III / a7C II / a7C / a6700 / FX3 / FX30.
• Canon EOS 70D / R5 / R6 / R7 / R8 / R10 / RP / R50.
• FUJIFILM X-T4 / X-S10.

At the back of the unit, you’ll find a power switch, a USB-C power input, a temperature display, and an air intake/outlet. The cooling system doesn’t have a built-in battery and requires external power. According to SmallRig, it has a low noise level of around 38 dB.

In terms of gains, SmallRig claims that when shooting with the Sony ZV-E1 (XAVC HS 4K60P) at 25°C/77°F, you can jump from 30 minutes of maximum recording time without overheating to unlimited times. However, at an ambient temperature of 40°C/104°F, you’ll only gain 8 minutes of recording time.

Price and availability

The SmallRig cooling system for Sony, Canon, and FUJIFILM cameras is available now for $49.99 (codename 4815). Another version specifically designed for Sony cameras is also available for $69.99, but it doesn’t seem more efficient than the universal version.

For more information, please visit SmallRig’s website here.

OConnor is an American company founded in 1949 by Chadwell O’Connor. Passionate about steam locomotives, he designed and built a fluid head camera support that allowed his camera to follow the moving trains without jumps. One day, while filming trains at Glendale Station, a man asked him if he could build a fluid head for his new film. The man was Walt Disney, the movie ‘The Living Desert’, and the story marked the company’s beginnings.

OConnor Ultimate 2575E Platinum edition for the 75th anniversary

After that encounter, OConnor became one of the film industry standards in support systems, and the company now introduces the Ultimate 2575E Platinum Edition fluid head to celebrate the 75th anniversary of that encounter. The Ultimate 2575E features OConnor’s patented sinusoidal counterbalance system for accurate balance throughout the tilt range. This system combines with a stepless pan and tilt fluid drag for control and stability. The Platinum edition features an infinite drag adjustment to perform movements at different speeds.

The 2575E Classic features:

• Payload Range: It supports 0 – 105 lbs (0 – 47.7 kg) at a 6” center of gravity height above the platform.
• Counterbalance Crank with a numerical readout.
• Operator-friendly controls are conveniently placed on the operator’s side.
• Versatile platform: includes four handle rosettes.

Last year, Swedish company Lit Systems first teased their LIT DUO 1 pocket-sized light meter. It looks quite convenient as it combines a light and a color meter into a single tool, so you don’t have to carry two separate devices on set. In case you missed it, make sure to read our initial coverage here.

Since then, the company has released additional details about the LIT DUO 1, has teased the advent of a second product called LIT C1, and is now getting ready to open pre-orders for both devices. Let’s take a look!

LIT DUO 1 compact light meter – updates

To sum it up very quickly, the LIT DUO 1 is a light metering tool offering 7 metering modes (Color Temperature/Full-Color/Video Exposure/Photo Exposure/Illuminance/Spectrum/Flickering) in a compact (13x5x3cm), sleek body made of CNC-machined aluminum on the front and durable plastic on the back.

The device features a large front LCD screen with physical control buttons, is powered by 3x AAA replaceable batteries that should keep it running for about 40 hours, comes with a protective case and a 1-meter neck strap, and has Bluetooth built-in to connect it to a smartphone app. For some users, the biggest complaint, however, could be the lack of a spot metering function. But other than that, the device seems to be really well-featured.

Furthermore, over the last year, the company has been hard at work to implement extra features. These include:

• fast operation and low power consumption;
• Flash Exposure & Flash Analysis Modes;
• a USB-C port for power and firmware updates (it can also charge AAA batteries if rechargeable);
• sound feedbacks;
• improved tripod head thread at the bottom;
• Improved ergonomics.

LIT C1

Next to the LIT DUO 1, the company is also launching the LIT C1, short for LIT COLOR 1. Essentially, this is a stripped-down, more affordable version of DUO 1 that lacks Ambient and Flash Exposure metering modes but retains all functions related to Color and Spectrum, Light ratios, Illuminance (lux/fc), and Flicker metering up to 8kHz, according to Lit Systems.

Price and availability

Both products will be available to pre-order on Kickstarter for 25 days, starting on July 10th at 9:00 AM EST time. The official target retail price for the LIT DUO 1 and C1 is set at €849 (incl.VAT)/$769 and €729 (incl. VAT)/$649, respectively. However, by supporting the Kickstarter campaign, you can benefit from discounts of 30, 35, and 40%.

Quoting Lit Systems, these “funds will be used to streamline the design for industrial production and enable mass manufacturing.”
