NAB 2013: Solid Camera Scatter Box and Sound Swivel

We've covered a lot of different accessories for Sony's F5/F55 cameras, and at our booth we're featuring a couple of new ones from Solid Camera. The Scatter Box is a power breakout box that mounts onto the back of the camera and features multiple power outputs.

We all know how important it is to have adequate power distribution for all our accessories, so having a unit like this can come in very handy.

Another useful new accessory is the Sound Swivel, a compact unit that provides two XLR connectors for audio into the camera, and also conveniently repositions the headphone jack. The three connectors are then routed to a small swivel cube (hence the "Swivel" in the name).

We've got both the Scatter Box and the Sound Swivel mounted to the Sony F55 in our booth - watch my video above to learn more about these new accessories from Solid Camera.

Tutorials & Guides
Rare is the camera kit that has no accessories hanging off it. Monitor, lens controller, wireless transmitter, signal converter, timecode clock, focus rangefinder -- sometimes the camera can barely be seen under the accessories. These devices need power, and often the cameras themselves do not have enough outputs available. Switronix has created several versions of the JetPack, a battery mount (Anton Bauer or V-lock) with multiple power outputs in a variety of useful voltages.
