Powering the Cameras
Cinematographer Kevin Otterness has spent the past 25 years honing his craft, building a reputation as one of the industry's most respected cinematographers and directors of photography. On four recent commercial shoots for Sony Playstation, he relied on a selection of equipment from Core SWX to ensure the cameras stayed powered and rolling.
Otterness began using Core SWX products about five years ago after having ongoing issues with other manufacturers' batteries. He kept experiencing complications including V-Mount release buttons breaking off and batteries not holding their power over time. Otterness knew he needed a reliable power solution, which is when he discovered Core SWX.
Building Up His Kit
Over the last four years, Otterness has been building up his Core product inventory, which now includes the Core Fleet-Q4S Charger V-Mount, V-Mount HotSwap for RED, Hypercore 98 RED batteries, Hypercore SLIM 8 RED batteries and Hypercore 9 Mini (HC9 Mini) RED batteries.
