SWIT has just launched the OMNI series, a new line of miniaturized V-mount batteries designed for mirrorless and compact cinema cameras. Let’s delve into what these pocket powerhouses offer.
Big Power, Small Package:
The most striking feature of the OMNI series is its compact size. Unlike traditional V-mount batteries that can add significant bulk to your camera setup, the OMNI boasts a miniaturized design, making it ideal for mirrorless and compact camera users who prioritize portability. Despite its size, the OMNI comes in two capacities: 50Wh and 99Wh, offering enough juice to power your camera for extended shoots.
Fly-Friendly Design and Versatile Outputs:
The OMNI series caters to the needs of traveling filmmakers. Both models fall under the 100Wh capacity limit for carry-on luggage, allowing you to take them on board most airplanes without restrictions. In terms of connectivity, the OMNI offers a variety of outputs, including a D-tap port for powering accessories, a USB-A port for charging mobile devices, and a Barrel DC output for regulated 8.4V power. The higher-capacity 99Wh model additionally features a 65W USB-C PD (Power Delivery) port, ideal for fast charging compatible devices.
More Than Meets the Eye:
The SWIT OMNI series packs a punch beyond its size and portability. Here are some additional noteworthy features:
- Clear Power Status: An LED display keeps you informed about the remaining battery capacity, allowing for better power management during shoots.
- High Load Capacity: Despite their compact size, both OMNI models boast a 150W/12A high load capacity, ensuring they can power even demanding mirrorless and compact cinema cameras.
- Built-in Safety Features: SWIT prioritizes safety with built-in second-level protection to safeguard your camera and battery.
Who Should Consider the SWIT OMNI Series?
The SWIT OMNI series is a perfect choice for videographers and filmmakers who utilize mirrorless or compact cinema cameras and prioritize portability. These miniaturized V-mount batteries offer a convenient and powerful solution for on-location shoots, travel productions, and situations where minimizing camera rig size is essential.
