I will premise this with a "I know its probably more complicated than it needs to be, but I am curious anyways". I currently own entirely too many portable generators. All rated between 6500 watts & 9500 watts.... I was looking into how to use 2 of them in parallel to provide emergency power for my entire house during outages and it would appear that without them being Invertor Generators this is basically a no go. Which makes sense with the possibility of phasing being off a few degrees.

Is there anyway to hook these up and load balance between them without having to basically split my house in half so if their phasing is off a little its not shared on the same circuits?

We have reached the end of my electrical knowledge with this one...

Does a Phase Matching circuit/box/whatever even exist? Watching some videos from Chris Boden would tell me this was a dumb question...but I am asking anyways.

Can I put the power from each generator into their own invertor that is made for parallel operation, then run the house from there? This option also allows me to add batteries down the road to act as a UPS (which is tempting considering how often we lose power over the year).

Any insight is greatly appreciated. Even if I can't get a solution, the added knowledge will be helpful!

Thank You.

Budget: Under $500 (No idea if this is even possible)

Country: USA

Condition: New?

Type: No idea. I'm a novice for anything beyond my phone.

Intended Use: Night time Star Photography & Overnight time lapse.

Features Needed: Durable! Rechargeable Battery and spares.

Portability: For Canoe trips, so portability is helpful.

Cameras Considering: Again, no idea. I don't know the first thing about what to look for at the moment. I need the experts. 😁

Cameras I Own: None technically, aside from my Pixel 8 Pro.

Background Information:

Any recommendations for a waterproof/resistant, durable solution to getting time lapse videos of stars and northern lights? Currently using a Pixel 8 Pro...(I know, not a real camera, and I'm sorry...but that's why I'm here! Need some expert opinions)

I do some middle of nowhere canoe trips (USA & CA) that last 7 to 21 days and I love taking pictures of the stars and the northern lights, however getting really great night and time lapse photo/video with a phone is hard. Not impossible, but can be annoying. My phone also links to my inReach so not killing its battery for a time lapse is a big safety bonus with this idea.

Thank you in advance! I appreciate any advice you may have.
