Anton/Bauer is pioneering power
A leader in the design, manufacturing, and testing of mobile power systems for use in broadcast and film/video
Anton/Bauer® is a leader in the design, manufacturing, and testing of mobile power systems for use in broadcast, film/video, healthcare and adjacent markets. We produce rugged systems for real world use that can be adapted to just about any situation where reliable, mobile power makes the difference.
40 years of being first
With more than 40 years of experience, Anton/Bauer has gained an unrivalled understanding of battery system technology and power management.
The brand was first founded in 1970 when Anton Wilson, a former ABC cameraman, and George Bauer, an electrical engineer, formed a partnership setting out to furnish the broadcast industry with reliable battery power.
Prior to Anton/Bauer's
entrance to the market, dependable power solutions were almost
non-existent. Using Anton's real-world experience, and George’s
engineering background, they pioneered powerful solutions such as the
industry's first smart chargers and digital batteries, yielding many
patents for advanced technology including the industry’s first
viewfinder fuel gauge.
In 1997, Anton/Bauer was acquired by the Vitec Group, joining the ranks of other industry-renown brands serving the broadcast/film/video industries.
On-camera Batteries
Gold Mount / V-Mount - Digital Battery Series
The Digital Battery Series is designed to power contemporary digital productions and offers world-class levels of safety, performance and reliability in a sleek, ergonomic design.
Truly Digital: Designed to limit the high frequency “ringing” produced by digital equipment on start up.
Easy to Read LCD Display: Conveniently reports run-time in hours and minutes when attached to a device. The display automatically changes to show battery charge as a percentage of full when not attached to a device or when no load is placed on the battery.
Ergonomic Design:
Easy to hold, rubber over mold helps grip and cushions shock.
Electrically and Mechanically Safe: Multiple sensors detect temperature and
over-current states making these the safest batteries on the market.
Updated “honeycomb” design provides mechanical separation between each cell in the pack to allow for airflow and to isolate cells from potential cascading damage.
