Electric vs Gas genny
So I will be shooting a short film this summer, all exteriors over the course of a few weekends. As a result, I've been thinking of getting a genny or electric portable station to use on set for lights and recharging batteries.
In terms of lighting, I plan on using 4xnanlite 30c tubes (obviously re-chargeable) and LED Mats (max 220 Watts, but also have gold mounts) for night exteriors.
I've never worked with an electric portable station on set and so I dont know much about their efficiency and what the best models would be.
Its a low scale production and I would prefer something quiter (which is why Im leaning towards electric). Shoot days would typically run from 7-9 hours.
Essentially, it would be used moreso as a chargeable station as I would prefer to have the LED Matt's run on gold mount batteries and the tubes operate on internal battery. Then of course camera batteries (blackmagic), and NPF batteries for monitors
My budget is $1000, if anyone could recommend good electric portable station. And if gas is the better option, I don't mind investing in that. Recommendations under same price range but quiter would be great.
