old school Posted June 18, 2014 Report Share Posted June 18, 2014 World renown Key Grip and inventor of many things, Mr Herb Ault has a new offering. He invented and owns the Grip Trix and now that they are using remote arms and cranes on them, they need very clean power for the remote controls, so he came up with a sweet Lithium Ion system called CineJuice. Today it is running Sound, Video Assist, Video Village, and the DIT. 300 AH for each unit. No noise and very clean & green power. Personally I dig it. Also a big fan of Herb Ault.

Jeff Wexler Posted June 18, 2014 Report Share Posted June 18, 2014 Bravo! I'm a big fan of Herb Ault as well --- he is truly the total filmmaker with an understanding of the needs of ALL departments. I owe the quality of many of the soundtracks we've done to Herb's innovative and creative approach to the work we do together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

old school Posted June 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2014 Thanks Marc. I should of thought of that... That's why they call it dope... For the record, this unit ran us all day. Very clean power which can be a big issue when it's not so. Video Village (1 large monitor), Directors cart monitors (2), Video assist and sound cart power, DIT, Camera Wireless Clear Com, and various batteries charging. It all fit in a cable/sandbag cart. I hope it catches on. CrewC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boomhead Posted June 26, 2014 Report Share Posted June 26, 2014 Last fall we had it on a glacier in Iceland where a Genny would have been a disaster. They also used it on a pod driven pickup truck with HMI's mounted on the front. Usable dialogue even with an IMAX camera. Love Herb's Cine Juice. Ask for it by name.
