The Tech Equipment we carry!

KISS systems are great to deal with and really know their stuff.
Pray for sunshine and the Mercury 11 solar panels will run the laptop which in turn will allow us to update the web site (seriously though very little sun is required). The two folders containing 2 panels each, unzip ready to use, and are really strong. The laptop slides down between the two folders and all three items fit into one front pannier. All cables and smart charge adaptors are kept in the opposite pannier along with all spare batteries. With all the equipment and lighting there are a total of 38 batteries of various types. A Saitek Ecco charger is used to charge all AA & AAA Alkaline batteries while the NiMh and Lithiums are charged by dedicated chargers, all of which charge from solar, car or mains.
This is what we carry now as all our movies are shot and edited with just the simple Firewire:
