Anton Bauer has announced the largest ever expansion to its range of compact batteries with the introduction of Titon SL, Titon Micro, Titon Base, and GO 90. These new additions include smaller and slimmer batteries that are ideal for monitors, wireless follow focus, and on-camera lighting as well as larger capacity batteries designed for high draw cine lights and specialist cameras.
Anton Bauer is 50 years old this year and it was formed when ABC TV cameraman, Anton Wilson, and electronic engineer, George Bauer joined forces in 1970. Together they developed the world’s first camera mounted battery system.
To help customers find the best power solution for their equipment Anton Bauer has also launched a web-based “kit your camera” configurator that determines the power requirements of cameras and accessories to recommend the most appropriate battery.
So let’s see what is new.
Titon Micro
Titon Micro are available in 47Wh, 94Wh, or 140Wh, and in V-Mount or Gold Mount options. Titon Micro can run cine cameras and mirrorless systems for hours in what Anton/Bauer is claiming to be their smallest ever 14.4V battery.
Titon Micro 150 will power a RED Komodo for over three hours or will run cameras including Canon C100 and Sony a7R for over 18 hours.
Titon Micro are a good compromise when size and weight are critical, but power is your biggest need. Titon Micro batteries deliver a consistently reliable continuous 10A current, (8A Titon Micro 45).
The 45Wh version weighs just 340g (0.75 lbs).
An optional dual micro battery mounting plate allows twice the power in half the size of a regular battery.

Titon Base
The Titon base is a slimmer and lighter power base for compact cine cameras. The 68Wh Titon Base has been designed as a portable power hub to deliver hours more runtime than the consumer batteries supplied with cameras, all in a lightweight, travel-friendly form.
The Titon Base mounts under the camera. It features a quick-release plate and integrated ¼”-20 mounts.
Titon Base can be quickly released from a camera and mounted to a tripod or camera support with a simple click.
The Titon Base also features a built-in LCD fuel gauge that displays the remaining runtime of your camera and any other connected device down to the minute and the battery charge level when it’s not connected.
Titon Base weighs in at 520g (1.15 lbs).
GO 90
The 98Wh GO 90 is Anton/Bauer’s lightweight, low-cost V-Mount or Gold Mount 14.4V battery for those users who are looking for a simple plug and play power solution.
The slim GO 90 is an 8A solution for powering cameras, on-camera lights, or monitors without adding excess extra weight.
The GO 90 is compatible with Anton/Bauer V-Mount or Gold-Mount charging solutions or can safely integrate with chargers from other manufacturers. For image makers on the move when size and weight are critical, GO 90 batteries can be simply charged with a lightweight, portable P-Tap charger.
