In 1970 Anton Wilson, a cameraman for U.S broadcast television network ABC, formed a partnership with his Cornell University roommate, George Bauer, an accomplished electrical engineer. Their mission: to build a better battery. Using Anton’s real-world experience and his intimate knowledge of the challenges and frustrations encountered by camera crews every day, Bauer was able to engineer powerful solutions that pioneered the industry’s first smart chargers and digital batteries.
Anton/Bauer® is the pioneering force behind many of the battery technologies that have become industry-standard in the world of broadcast, video and cinema.
Camera operators using DSLRs and mirrorless cameras through to camcorders and cine rigs and right up to large shoulder cameras for ENG or EFP can all find a solution to their power needs in the Anton/Bauer range. Its industry-leading products include Gold Mount® and V-Mount batteries, smart chargers, cine batteries and battery mounting brackets specifically designed for digital video and electronic field production equipment.
