Anton/Bauer EDEN Portable Power Station – features
The Anton/Bauer EDEN is designed specifically for cinematographers and productions of multiple sizes with the demands and challenges that come with filming on location. The portable power station has many advantages, including providing constant power when filming in locations without reliable power, or in remote areas. There are more consumer-friendly mobile power stations, but they aren’t built for the type of power demands of a production.
The EDEN features a portable and rugged aluminum design with 2.5 kWh capacity. It includes two AC outlets and four USB-C ports. The grid-style mobile power station provides power for cameras, lights, chargers, laptops, and other production equipment. The IP65 rating ensures that the EDEN can operate in a variety of environments and conditions. Several EDEN power stations can be daisy-chained together for continuous power.
