Backup for Photographers
Power camera charging, drones, laptops, monitors and selective lighting on location without relying on venue sockets.
Problem to solve
- Shoots often move faster than available charging points.
- Drone batteries, laptops and LED lights can drain small stations quickly.
- Silent power matters for weddings, interviews and indoor locations.
Typical consumption
| Load | Typical watts | Planning note |
|---|---|---|
| Camera battery chargers | 10-40W each | Usually batch charging |
| Drone charger | 60-250W | High short sessions |
| Laptop | 60-140W | Editing / tethering |
| Field monitor | 20-80W | Continuous when used |
| LED light | 60-300W each | Can dominate runtime |
Autonomy and recommended solution
| Level | Load range | What it covers | Recommended solution | Runtime guide |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Charging Kit | 80-250W | Camera, drone and phone charging | C300/C1000 class | All-day light charging |
| Production Day | 250-600W | Laptop, monitor and some LED lighting | C1000/F2000 class | 4-10h typical |
| Lighting Heavy | 600W+ | Several continuous lights and monitors | F2000/F3800 class | Manual light plan |
Technical notes before buying
- Ask how many lights run at the same time. Lighting is usually the difference between a small kit and a serious station.
- For travel shoots, weight and charging speed may matter more than maximum capacity.
