Portable Power Solutions

Here is how this works in practice. Our portable power packages in New Zealand cover the full output range: V-mount and B-mount battery kits for run-and-gun doc work, Anton-Bauer Titon and Cine Series for camera-light loads, Bluetti AC500 / Goal Zero Yeti / EcoFlow Delta Pro battery stations for sustainable-tier interview lighting, Honda EU22i / EU30iS / EU70iS petrol inverter generators for sub-7kVA mid-size jobs, and Stage V Cummins or Perkins diesel sets (15kVA, 30kVA, 60kVA, 100kVA, 250kVA) for feature-tier and live-broadcast loads.

Here is how this works in practice. All packages distribute through 230V / 50Hz at 16A / 32A / 63A CEEform connectors with isolation transformers and Type B RCDs as standard. WorkSafe NZ electrical compliance is mandatory. We route all rigs through licensed electricians on every shoot — specific important on West Coast glacier work at Franz Josef and Fox, Fiordland's 7-metre annual rainfall environments, and Aoraki/Mount Cook four-seasons-in-one-day exposure.

Here is the short of it. Wilderness power options for South Island work — Glenorchy, Mount Sunday (LOTR Edoras), the Mackenzie Country UNESCO Dark Sky Reserve, the West Coast glaciers, Stewart Island/Rakiura — need helicopter-airlift staging via Heliworks Queenstown, Helilink, or Aspiring Helicopters, with Department of Conservation concessions covering any in-park fuel storage or generator placement. Mackenzie Dark Sky Reserve filming layers light-pollution protocols on top of standard rigs, needing blackout drape standards and red-LED-only crew lighting around any generator placement.

Here is the short of it. The portable-power lineage in Aotearoa was forged on LOTR (Tongariro Mt. Doom, Glenorchy Lothlorien, Mount Sunday Edoras), King Kong, Mortal Engines, and ongoing Avatar 2/3 wilderness pickups — establishing the country's standard for low-impact, regulator-compliant location power. We bundle ACC universal accident cover, fuel-spill response plans aligned to Maritime NZ and DOC needs, and NZSPG 20% + 5% productivity uplift records processed by the New Zealand Film Commission.
