EQUOIA IS ALIVE AT THE MELBOURNE SCREEN HUB

The Power Droid had a positive impact in being quiet and also boosting crew morale in terms of the discussions it's sparked on set about the ways in which we can minimise our environmental impact as an industry.”

From my perspective one of the advantages was that it didn't change the work day - ie everything ran as smoothly as it normally does, from a unit power perspective. Except - it was a lot quieter.

The crew are loving the silence. Crew are fondly referring to the Power Droid as "Jenny" spoken with a Forest Gump accent. Lots of positive interest from the agency and production.

"Changing the game"

 Richie Young

Unit Manager

We trialled the Equoia Power Droid, on a shoot we recently did, which powered the whole of our unit truck and all the bits and bobs that come with that, coffee machine etc. I have to say how impressed I was with it and the leap in technology it shows for our industry.  It was quiet (silent on set) so didn't interfere with sound on set.  Would love to use this again as I thought it was really great and has a good environmental impact.

We were working on a remote Strawberry farm in VIC with difficult access and with Equoia we were able to get power onto set without an issue. 

No need for a generator van and easy to move around – it could pull ample power for all the lights we needed to bring our set to life out of a tiny little "Jenny!"

Very small, compact and easy to transport.
