Camera wireless transmission

There are many factors that film and television teams need to consider when shooting outdoors, among which the power supply of professional equipment is definitely one of the most worrying issues. Equipment frequently used in the shooting process: cameras, monitors, wireless image transmission, drones, stabilizers, electric slide rails, photographic lights, and even mobile phones and computers all need extra power. Outside, every time the power of these devices drops, my worry increases by one point. Especially in cold weather, I can only pray in my heart that the battery will not fall off. How can small and medium-sized film and television teams continue to live outdoors without generators?

How does the shooting team solve the outdoor power supply problem? Fuel generator, oil supply is a problem, flammable materials are dangerous, and the noise when the generator is running is a headache. Although using on-board inverter is cheap, its quality is uneven, and it can only be used near the car, so its maneuverability and flexibility are limited. There is also a product on the market called outdoor power supply, which is closer to our needs. We also see that there are many products of this type on the e-commerce platform, but the capacity and discharge power of these products are generally small, which is stretched in front of high-power equipment.

Not long ago, Ecoflow Zheng Hao released its flagship outdoor power supply named De DELTA MAX, which has large capacity, high discharge power and fast charging. With it, the outdoor power supply problem of most high-power film and television equipment has a new solution!

Delta MAX outdoor power supply capacity is 20 16Wh(560000 mah), rated output power is 2400W, peak value is 4600W, maximum charging input power is 2000W, fuselage interface is rich, APP operation is simple, which can be summarized in three words: sufficient, practical and easy to use.

First of all, the first one is enough. Delta MAX's 20 16WH power is about 2KWH (kWh), which is twice as much as it is often said. Simply understand, it can supply power to 2000W equipment for about an hour at full power. Is two degrees of electricity enough for outdoor use?

Some time ago, we conducted a commercial aerial photography project next to Miyun Reservoir in Beijing. Due to the huge demand for materials, the three sets of UAVs, 52, DJI Air 2S and DJI FPV, we carry need to fly for a long time and take off repeatedly. These three power consumption experts have not been idle all afternoon, and the use intensity is quite strong. The three sets of battery housekeeper charger, remote controller and high-brightness screen charger are just filled with four AC sockets, and Delta MAX is also fully fired. When the shooting was over, we found that DELTA MAX had not been squeezed dry, which was enough. In the past, even if we used a car to charge, it was impossible to charge so many batteries at the same time, not to mention the charging power was far from perfect.

We have been to an unfamiliar set to shoot. Although it is indoors, it is midsummer, and extreme weather such as wind, rain and lightning may cut off the power supply. In order to cope with the possible sudden power failure, we brought Delta MAX. In the case of power failure, DELTA MAX can continue to supply power to most devices. After all, there will always be emergencies in the shooting work, and large expenses such as lighting, venues and personnel will be spent. Finally, because of the power supply problem, the shooting was affected, which was a big loss! Although the studio power outage is a small probability event, I still use DELTA MAX Town practically.

The peak output power of DELTA MAX is 4600W W W. Theoretically, it is no problem to supply power to three 1.2K dysprosium lamps at the same time. The power of most other film and television equipment, such as cameras, monitors and ordinary LED lights, is between tens of watts and 300W, not to mention driving ten or eight such equipment.

Moreover, DELTA MAX can move around, even if the cooling fan is on at work, it is acceptable. It can easily support all kinds of electricity demand on the shooting site and places that need to be moved.

The second characteristic of DELTA MAX is practicality. We can see that there are abundant power connectors on the fuselage. The four AC output ports output pure sine waves of 220 V and 50 Hz, which are exactly the same as domestic commercial power. The advantages of pure sine wave are that the equipment will not produce extra noise when running, and the power consumption is small, and the battery and power adapter of camera and computer will not be damaged when charging.

In addition, DELTA MAX has several DC sockets, four USB-A interfaces, two fast charging and two slow charging. Two Type-C interfaces support 100W fast charging, and two DC 552 1 interfaces. When working in the field, these DC sockets enable us to directly plug in the DC interface when charging small appliances without plugging in the charging head.

At the beginning of this month, at an outdoor activity held by a BAT company, as a shooting team, we also brought DELTA MAX to the scene. One of our tasks that day was to shoot the wonderful scenes of the scene, and then immediately send the materials to friends in the office to make an activity collection.

At the scene, our computer needs to run for a long time, copying, sorting and uploading data. If you only rely on the battery of your laptop to run these things, it is estimated that the computer will be turned off in an hour. With DELTA MAX, the power supply can be stable for a long time, and the active substances can be treated without pressure all day.

At the scene, we also met the situation that the curling iron that the stylist made up for the host was out of power. You should know that the communication interfaces at the event site are as scarce as rare animals and plants. DELTA MAX has four communication interfaces, and it is no problem to provide a curling iron for the stylist to charge. After using it, the host's little brother and stylist's little sister said that our large "charging treasure" was very powerful, and they also asked about the price and model. In this way, Delta MAX provided help to his comrades in the same trench while ensuring sufficient supply!

The camera battery is dead, don't worry, just connect the battery holder with the power supply by USB-C to C, and you can charge it quickly. When uploading materials with a mobile phone as a hot spot, it is crazy to lose power. Don't worry, plug the charging cable of the mobile phone into USB-A and you can charge it. The mobile phones of other small partners of the shooting team are dead, don't worry, come here and charge them all! It can be said that as long as there are electrical appliances that need to be charged on site, just plug in DELTA MAX. Rich interface types and sufficient power reserves allow us to handle professional problems such as shooting more calmly, and do not have to worry about logistics problems such as power supply.

Will it be particularly time-consuming to charge such a large "charging treasure"? DELTA MAX has three interfaces for charging. The first one is mains charging. It has X-Stream fast charging technology. Switch to this mode to charge, and it only takes 1.6 hours to fully charge this big guy, which is faster than charging a mobile phone charging treasure. Moreover, DELTA MAX does not need a special power adapter, and it can be directly charged with an ordinary power cord.

The second is to charge the car. When shooting outdoors, you can use the cigarette lighter interface to charge during the transition. The third is solar panel charging. At present, manufacturers have 1 10W and 60W solar panels to buy separately. With solar panels, you can quietly charge them outdoors with the help of the power of nature when the sun is shining.

We shoot indoors, on the road or in the wild. The manufacturer has designed charging methods for us in these situations, such as charging with mains electricity indoors, charging with cars on the road and charging with solar panels outdoors. There's always a way to recharge!

The third feature of DELTA MAX is its ease of use. After wirelessly connecting its application to the device, you can use the mobile application to adjust various parameters. The operating logic of the APP is also very simple. There are DC and AC switches on it, and the corresponding interfaces can be turned on or off as needed to ensure safety.

If you don't use alternating current, you can turn it off, so its working time will be relatively long. You can also adjust the frequency of the current and switch between 50Hz and 60Hz. You can see that there is an X-Boost switch on the APP. Turn on this switch, you can supply power to 600w- 1800w electrical appliances, and even turn on cooking outdoors.

Delta MAX has a function called EPS (Emergency Power Reserve), which plugs the mains power into the charging port of the machine, and then connects the power of the AC output port of the machine to some important equipment. If the mains power is suddenly cut off, DELTA MAX can immediately output its own power supply to power the equipment within 30ms after the power is cut off. Although there is a certain gap between this and professional UPS, it can also play the role of emergency power supply in many cases.

DELTA MAX is suitable for equipment that can withstand power outage time of about 30ms, and should be used with caution for professional equipment that needs shorter power outage switching time. Pro test found that using it to power the LIVEPRO switchboard, Sony camera and ATOMOS display in our hands, the power failure time of 30ms does not affect the normal operation of these devices, and it can also be used as a backup UPS, even if there is power failure during live broadcast, there will be no broadcast accident!

DELTA MAX does have many advantages, but it is not perfect. For example, its weight is a headache, 22KG, which is 2KG heavier than the common standard bottled mineral water, which is a great test of arm strength. Of course, weight and capacity are like fish and bear's paw, and it is difficult to have both.

In order to let users move with both hands, manufacturers design the left and right handles on the side, which is very uncomfortable to use with one hand, and the handles grow out of the fuselage, occupying extra loading space. As an outdoor power supply, it is suggested that manufacturers design an interface cover to increase waterproof and dustproof performance. If it is used in the film and television industry, it is necessary to add some anti-collision rubber cushion design. After all, the equipment in the film and television industry is often handled, and bumping is a common occurrence.

To sum up, Delta MAX has super capacity, and the capacity of 20 16WH can fully meet the outdoor power demand of small teams. The interface is comprehensive, with four AC sockets and various types of conventional charging and fast charging DC interfaces. You can charge by plugging in the cable without using a charging power adapter. The operation is simple, there are not many buttons or knobs on the fuselage, and all the settings are adjusted through the APP, so you can get started as long as you get started. In addition to the flagship model DELTA MAX, the DELTA series outdoor power supply of Eco-Flow Zheng Hao has three small-capacity models: Mini, 1000 and 1300. DELTA MAX can also double the capacity through the power pack, and small partners can choose according to their own power consumption scale.
