We all know CineroidΒ as a leading EVF and LED light manufacturer, but as we’ve seen earlier todayΒ in our crowded filmmakingΒ industry it is a good ideaΒ to come up with different inventions to capture the attention of a broader audience. That’s where “Eneroid”, a new smart AA battery charger from Cineroid enters the picture. In their Indiegogo Campaign, theyΒ are trying to capture our attention with a refreshing approach to charging batteries.
Most, if not all of us are still using AA batteries to power some of the equipment we useΒ during our daily shooting routine. I’m not sure about you guys, but whenever I’m looking for my rechargeable batteries, I always end up with either emptyΒ ones or I simply can’t find them.
Eneroid is aΒ device that isΒ supposed to solve it all. ThrowΒ up to 20 rechargeable batteries into theΒ top of theΒ smart AA batteryΒ charger without even worrying about polarity, push one button and 4 batteries will slide into the charging slot, charging them rapidlyΒ within an hour.Β The chargedΒ batteries will make their way to theΒ storage containerΒ located at the bottom of the charging tower.
What do you think?Β Can a charging device like this make our life a bit easier or are the days of heavy usage of AA batteries already behind us? In any case, if it works reliably, then for $39 this device might be a no-brainer for many of us.
