SWIT recently launched its first lineup of products with the new ARRI B-Mount 12/24V standard: the SWIT HB-A290 battery, the PC-P461B 4-channel fast charger, and a series of hot-swap plates for ARRI cameras. Let’s take a closer look at all these new powering options from SWIT! In 2019, ARRI made B-Mount their new battery and powering standard for cameras and lighting. However, moving from the 14.4V V-Mount/Gold Mount standard takes time. Indeed, you can’t set a new standard if minimal products are available for customers/rental houses.
