Customer recommendations
“Performance-wise it was a lot more reliable than our other battery and lasted a lot longer under the same loads. We used it for 3 days to power second unit video village and at the end of each day it still had over 60% left.“
Joe Kirby - Unit Manager - ‘Hampstead’
“They’re brilliant. I wouldn’t want to hire anything other than Orbs again!”
Skylar Bredewold - Unit Manger - ‘Spiral’
“We simply couldn’t have done this job without them. Moving generators and laying new cable runs on each set move would have been a nightmare. The Orbs with their great battery life and handy wheels saved us.”
Alex Wood - Location Dept Spark - ‘Wicked’
