If you frequently find yourself needing to power some of your gear while on the go, you know what a pain it can be to make sure you have a way to keep everything powered up when you have no electricity to plug into. Of course, there a plethora of solutions to mobile power stations, but a lot of them are costly and/or excessively bulky. These handy little Power Pods from Indi Pro Tools, may be exactly what you need, especially if you already have some extra Canon LP-E6 batteries laying around. You can power all your gear using one of these adapters and your spare LP-E6’s.

- Dual LP-E6 Universal Power System 14.4V
- Dual LP-E6 Universal Power System 7.2V
- Quad LP-E6 Universal Power System 7.2V (uses a minimum of 2 batteries; max. 4 batteries)*
- Quad LP-E6 Universal Power System 14.4V (uses a minimum of 2 batteries; max. 4 batteries)*
*The Quad system will allow you to power 2 different devices at once, assuming you have four batteries attached to it.
There are a lot of different cable adapaters for the Power Pods allowing you to power just about anything you can think of (from mini USB devices like a GoPro, lights, monitors, DSLRs, mirrorless, pretty much anything all the way up to your 4K cinema cameras).
