How to power the URSA Cine Immersive for hoursā¦
ā¦of 8K per eye immersive timelapse without battery swaps or a generator?
Quick tip from my sunrise shoot. The @blackmagicnewsofficial URSA Cine Immersive pulls a lot of power: dual 8K sensors, 8160x7200 per eye, 16 stops, all on 24V. You canāt swap mid-timelapse, so I needed one block that runs the whole shot.
Iām using the @coreswx Maverick 605Wh, dual 14V and 28V outputs. Skip the B-Mount plate! I run a 3-pin LEMO to 8-pin LEMO cable straight from the Maverick into the cameraās rear power input. Lighter rig, clean 24V, less stuff to fail on location.
Hereās the thing most filmmakers donāt know: the Maverick is NiMH, not lithium-ion. NiMH is a dry-cell chemistry, which means itās airline legal in both carry-on AND checked baggage under FAA Pack Safe rules. A lithium-ion block at 605Wh would be banned outright! In fact, anything over 160Wh is forbidden on commercial flights. If you travel for shoots like I do, this is the one block in its class you can actually fly with.
One battery, blue hour to golden hour to full day light, done.

Check out the new PowerVault from @CoreSWX š
Last week at NAB 2026, we stopped by their booth to chat with Armando Ferreira (@mondobytes ) about the brand-new PowerVault and why he thinks it could be a game-changer in the world of batteries and power š

The Core SWX x Mondobytes PowerVault power station has swappable plates for V-mount, gold mount, NPF, and AAāplus camera-specific plates for Fujifilm, Canon, Sony, and Nikon. The kicker: a Power Share feature that redistributes energy across battery types. Drone dead? Pull from your cine batteries. Sound guy needs AAs mid-take? Drop them in.
Comment below for the link to the full interview.
NAB 2026 is in the books and what a show it was.
This year, @mondobytes was in the booth showcasing the new, award-winning PowerVault, and the response was incredible. There was a constant crowd around PowerVault all week, with Armando answering questions and giving demos from open to close.
PowerVault also brought home some hardware, earning @thenewsshooter ās Best of Show and @cinednews ās Best of Show honors.
Congrats to our raffle winners @artificialray , @amykschon , and @cruisesztamenits as well, who each took home $500 in Core Cash. Maybe it goes toward a new PowerVaultā¦or our new Nano X Snaps, another standout product from the week.
And last but not least, our team at Core SWX. From setup, to showtime, to teardown. We do this show right, and I wouldnāt want to do it with anyone else.
Next up, CineGear LA, but until then, Stay Core Driven ā”ļøšš
