Hey Everyone,
Let's talk about batteries and battery life in general. I was shooting a marathon this morning and I tried to shoot it on one battery all morning. We are shooting on Sony XD-Cam F335's and using anton bauer hytron batteries 100, 120, and 140 (still don't know what those numbers mean).
Anyway, So right before the marathon runner crosses the finish line, the camera/ battery starts freaking out and the battery is only at 50 percent. Now I'm no math wiz, but 50 percent and 0 percent are 2 different things right?
Now I forgot a very basic rule, carry extra gear. I had my tripod, and my camera with battery attached and stick mic (it was for sports) so is there any suggestions in something you could buy/make to hold some more batteries? I"m not rich here I'm an intern but something cheap maybe?
Final question, these aren't lithium batteries right? So why should they degrade over time?
Thanks a lot guys,
Kyle
