You may have heard rumors of a new professional battery mount recently and been wondering, “Is that a new battery mount, or should I get my hearing checked?” If you believe what you are hearing is the term “B-Mount” and not “V-Mount,” then you can relax, you got it right. With this first major update to pro batteries in years, ARRI has teamed up with bebob to create what the company hopes will become the new standard for 24-volt batteries, cameras, and related gear: the B-Mount battery. The system is well thought out, as you would expect when you team a company known for its camera and lighting gear with a pro-video battery company. The new B-Mount resulting from this collaboration promises some advantages over the common 12-volt Gold mount and V-mount battery systems that are currently available.
The Inspiration: 24 Volts
24 Volts—this is the impetus behind the new B-mount system. ARRI has been making 24-volt cameras for a long time, even before digital cameras, when in the days of film cameras ARRI switched over to 24 volts because of the obvious advantages, which include being able to pull more power without needing to use heavier wiring. With digital cine cameras, ARRI continues to favor 24 volts, because it provides more power for the cameras to achieve higher frame rates and better performance. 24 volts isn’t a recent standard either; it has been around for decades in block batteries for motion-picture cameras and all current ARRI digital-cine cameras. A great deal of ARRI’s lighting runs on 24 Volts.
