New IDX Duo Compact V-lock batteries from IDX
The new ENDURA™ DUO Compact batteries are a pair of new batteries from IDX which offer significant savings in size and weight. Making their debut at the BVE exhibition in London, UK, the two new batteries are truly more compact.
More energy density is the holy grail of battery manufacturers. The DUO-C95 packs 93Wh capacity into a slim form factor weighing just 1.3 lbs. The Duo-C95 weighs is designed to be used where it’s important to keep weight down as much as possible: on gimbals, smaller cameras that don’t need so much of a counterweight over the shoulder and on the back of field monitors.
For those needing even longer run times, the DUO-C190 weighs just 2.3 lbs. with a capacity of 185Wh and supports a continuous load of 11A/120W, ideal for high power demanding LED lights and digital cinema camera setups.
In common with the other IDX DUO batteries, these batteries are feature rich with 2x D-Tap and a USB power output to power ancillaries that are common on today’s camera systems. Always innovators, IDX have given one of the D-Taps a D.C. in pin. This ‘D-Tap Advanced’ socket will permit the battery to be charged from a low cost and lightweight travel charger that IDX will introduce at NAB 2016.
