I need to buy or rent a power supply for a shoot. The shoot is 4 hrs non-stop so I will be using disk cache exchange and will not be able to switch batteries.

My Switronix charger only goes up to 50w.

What are people using on the f800 as a 120V power supply?

My IDX charger has a DC output. I would just connect an XLR cable between the charger and camera.

Hi Tom,

Understand IDX charger just a power supply. I have a Switronix charger that also has a power supply but only 50w and I am told by people at Sony that is should be minimum 100w.

I'm looking for the cable that goes between my Sony V mount DC battery charger and my Sony F350. It is a 4 pin connector both on the power supply and camera. Where can I get one from?

I need this as I do some long gigs where I cannot change batteries during the shoot If I'm the only camera.

Cheers
