I bought this power station and based on a recommendation bought two SmallRig V Mount Battery VB99 Pro, 6700mAh 99Wh 14.8V. I am wondering what I am doing wrong. When I plug both these batteries into the APUTURE Power Station, the batteries shut off and will not turn on. Therefore I am not getting the green light lit on the power station. I tested both batteries on other products and they seem to be working normally as intended. It’s just using them on this power station. Would these just be incompatible, too low a wattage? On the Q&A on the B&H website page, the staff of B&H stated these batteries will work fine with the Aputure battery station providing the load is a match. Any ideas? I would appreciate anyone’s suggestion. Thank you.

WHAT ARE THE CHANCES YOUR FROM DETROIT THANK YOU FOR THE GAME !

I really like both Amaran and Aputure stuff - I use products from both. I do have n interest in the charge station, but that handle looks awful. It appears cheap quality and looks like it wouldn’t last. Most brands have molded plastic for the handle. I don’t know which is the better option. I’m just surprised Aputure designed it this way.

Baking soda and water solution sprayed back on will restore the flame retardant. If it washes out easily that's all it is

Not the plug I was looking for 😂

Great thank you. Any surveillance recommendations for the best quality?

Can you use this on a lightstand instead of a C Stand?

This video has been included in the MPIO course for BC, Canada lol. It's useful

We were Matthews Studio Equipment dealers in the early/mid 1980s. The prevailing story at that time was that, in the Matthews Catalog, the clothespins had an item number of C-47. I never bothered to look it up myself. Anyone with an early 80's Matthews catalog could verify/dispel that story. BTW, some of the grips we worked with regularly only referred to the converted clothespins as C-47s. Otherwise the were just called clothespins.

i loved every minute of this also it made me hungry

I'm commenting on a 6 year old video to say I thought Dave looked suspiciously deadpan during the intro, so I played it again and noticed that he produced the adaptor from behind his back, fun end pointing up (Greenhorns, please use caution when using your adaptors in this manner, as they lack a flared base.) Subtle details like these are what set Grip Tips apart from countless lesser grippage tutorials on youtube.

Actually, I am planning something similar. However, for aesthetic reasons, I will be using chipboard on the outside, attaching hinges a a door knob on each. I hadn't thought about using plywood between the crates, so thanks for that. I don't have room for a dresser in my bedroom, but I do have room for two of these side by side. I plan on at least three tall, attaching them to the wall. The chipboard will go on inside and outside, unless I decide to use several layers of cardboard put together. Great video, thanks for the plywood idea.

Any updates on what you would recommend these days since there seems to be a plethora of options now

Hi Dave, hope you can do a review of the new Matthews Grip Rail vs the regular speed pipe you’ve done tutorials here on the channel. Curious if they are functionally any better or worse. If they’re worth a purchase if starting to assemble a working set vs regular speed pipe (Matthews markets it as saving on cutting and destroying speed pipes). Thank you!

Thaaankyouu so much for this page. I am learning cinematography without school & I honestly find The Grips team work really really interesting. And I really wanted to learn what goes around & how to figure it out, since we cannot experiment on set.. thankyou.

great video, Dave!

short and to the point. Thank you.

Great video. Thank you

Helpful! Thanks. And now that I have LEDs in my house, nothing matches.

Hi Folks! I’ve been teaching my film production students using Grip Tips for years! Thanks for the great content! Question: if there an electrician/gaffer version of Grip Tips? I’m looking for something as extensive and professional as Grip Tips. channels! Shane Hurlbut is GREAT, but to get to the real content, you have to pay for a subscription (which my school won’t do). Aputure is wonderful too, but I’m looking for something that covers generators and electrical distribution, as you would see on a medium to high-budget production. Thanks in advance!

Thank you, great video!

Hi Dave! I just bought a 12x12 frame, and my first couple rags (silk and black duvetine). I'd love to see you make a video about big frames - I've gotten some advice some a couple gaffers, and I've helped in a few big shoots, but I feel I have a lot to learn. Great video, as usual

I wasn’t able to get all of the green sticky residue off. I thought it would be best to just paint that side white, would you recommend a Matte white or a Semi-Gloss or something?

What gauge is speed rail? The size, material and thickness?

Bro is a LIONS Fan? LFG 🎉

Thank you!!!

I found this video to help test for shorts in conjunction with the tester you have. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ncihedViuNathKc.html It's taking me a few more tries than I anticipated. I must've tightened the female end too tight; I can't get the tester in all the way.

Not sure what we are talking about but am mildly aroused, I mean interested.

Keep going!

Welcome back!!! I love your channel!!!!

The boxes dont come coated with polyurethane?

Does the Aputure 2-Bay Battery Power Station sold separately work with the 150c Amaran light ?

Whoa first time seeing that Star Wars-ian intro! 👏🏼

Good Video thank You ...

Welcome back.

Everybody gets all excited about lights, cameras, lenses, and software but then neglects organization, functionality, and ergonomics.

What kind of clamp would you use to rig a camera or a light to this rig? Preferably something with a 3/8 inch thread. It can be heard to search for what you need if you don't know the exact terminology for it. Thanks!

Some of this applies to California only, especially non-union and things like meal penalties, because of the labor laws there. Whereas other states don't have as strong laws, so you might not get meal penalties unless you tell production when negotiating. As far as Grace, technically, by contract, they're supposed to ask the keys if they can go into grace, not just we're going into grace. Also depending on where you are, once they call grace, if the slate changes, grace is over and they have to buy the penalty. In other areas of the country, they're not as strict. Technically a meal is 30min sit down, not just grabbing a breakfast burrito or a slice of pizza and going back to work, doesn't reset the meal penalty clock.

Hey Dave, great Videos. I've been a DGA AD for 8 years, and now teaching Set safety at college level. I've been using some of your videos for my students! Maybe I can shed some light on your NDB Questions of why ADs ask for that (near the end of the video). In my experience it comes from a back and forth between a request to start earlier, vs the UPM (unit production manager) not not wanting to pay the meal penalty. A good example: The day isn't scheduled to be a 12 day overall, so the UPM has no problem with Grips coming in 30 mins early to get setup and do what they need. Doesn't cost them anything over their budget EXCEPT if they hit Meal Pens now. So they basically say, yes you can come in early as long as you NDB. Even though practically speaking you don't really ever have time to take 30 minutes exactly as you expressed. But the Key Grip or the Best boys usually agree to it because in the long run, sneaking in a burrito after you're set up (say 70 minutes after call) is more effective and less stressful then having to come in at call and bust your tail to get ready in time. The ADs are the ones asking for this sure, but it's almost always comes from a mandate from above. (Again in my personal experience). Hopefully that helps. Cheers!

Dave! I'm in film school now and we mostly work with Kinos, Arri tungten (100w-1k) and some LED from ARRI and Apurture. One thing we don't talk about is electrical safety, especially with the tungsten lights. I was hoping despite your busy schedule, could you do a video on indie gaffing and safe practices using common house outlets and all things concerning breakers!! Thanks! hope your doing well!

is it bad if a bit of the copper from the ground makes contact with the hot or neutral at all?

Question about Grace- Doesnt production need to ASK for grace, not CALL grace? In other words, the crew has the power to grant or veto grace. I’ve never seen it happen but my understanding was that they’re asking crews permission to go :12 more.

when the 20 year patent is over anyone has rights to inventions and manufacturing and sales without paying anybody

here in europe our nomenclature is a little bit more clear and understandable, it makes sense. what s a low boy, low girl, is it fat how much weight does it take, how high? thats why avenger exists...clear naming standard

u re fat, i also got fat, man 70 pounds i put on,,,cannot believe me

Great video. Just got one. What board are you using? Thanks
