V-Lock batteries have become the go-to power solution for professionals in the audiovisual industry. Their distinctive locking mechanism allows them to securely mount to a variety of equipment, providing a stable power source for cameras, sliders, and other high-demand tools. This level of security, along with their versatility and reliable power, has made them a preferred choice for filmmakers working in challenging production environments.
Key Advantages of V-Lock Batteries:
- Secure Mounting: The V-Lock system ensures a firm connection, preventing accidental disconnections.
- Long Battery Life: Designed to last for long shooting hours, these batteries minimize downtime during filming.
- Universal Compatibility: They are compatible with a wide range of devices, including cameras, lights, and sliders.
- Flexibility: Available in various sizes and capacities, they can meet the diverse needs of different setups.
- Durability: Built for rugged environments, V-Lock batteries continue performing reliably even under harsh conditions.
While V-Lock batteries are a major step forward, conventional batteries still have a presence in the industry. However, there are several drawbacks to using traditional 12V or similar batteries in modern filmmaking setups.
Disadvantages of Conventional Batteries:
- Limited Power: Conventional batteries often don’t provide enough power for high-demand equipment, leading to shorter usage times.
- Inconsistent Performance: As they discharge, conventional batteries can experience voltage drops that affect equipment performance.
- Frequent Swapping: Filmmakers must replace or recharge conventional batteries more often, resulting in more downtime and interruptions.
- Compatibility Issues: Conventional batteries are often specific to certain devices, meaning you need different types for different equipment, complicating your setup.
Noxon’s Transition to V-Lock Compatibility
At Noxon, we understand the importance of flexibility and reliability in filmmaking. That’s why we’re transitioning from our current 12V battery systems to V-Lock compatibility. Our slider will be the first to feature V-Lock support, launching in the first quarter of this year. By the second half, our cablecams will also offer V-Lock compatibility.
This shift means filmmakers can use their own V-Lock batteries, allowing for greater consistency across different pieces of equipment. No more worrying about using multiple types of batteries or dealing with frequent recharges during shoots. With V-Lock support, we’re making it easier to stay focused on your creative work, knowing that your power solution is reliable, flexible, and efficient.
At Noxon, we’re dedicated to evolving with the needs of the industry. By offering V-Lock compatibility, we’re ensuring our products remain aligned with the future of filmmaking, helping professionals meet the ever-growing demands of their craft.
