 Posted: Tue May 05, 2009 9:33 am Post subject: Electrically Powered Props |
 |
|
Out of interest with regard to props that would ordinarily require electrical power do people generally use;
A/ non powered props (IE EG a real laptop but with no power hence a blank screen) and pretend its really working
B/Battery powered props
C/ or does the system use sites with mains electricity?
many thanks |

From what I have seen, out in the field you would use battery operated props or just pretend, but in the buildings you can generally find a socket and plug in your lappie, ecg, etc

Although having said that do be aware that not all sites have power sockets on site.
For instance the next event at Candleston does not.

I was hoping to have a generator at Candleston - so some limited power. May have to change the plans though as I Dave was bringing his along but there`s no way I`m bothering him.

On base I sometimes have a laptop on, out in the field is the (working) pda. I won't be bringing the laptop to Candlestone because I don't want sand in it, and at Candlestone sand gets in (almost) everything.
But yep, I do bring quite a few batteries. My charger is pretty much on all the week leading up to the event.
