Power without limitation

The UPC and 12VA accessories provide massive power to ULTRA from the most common sources on set; V-Mount batteries or the vehicle’s own 12V battery. Both the UPC and 12VA are 100% flight-safe, making them simple for traveling with ULTRA or easily integrated into camera car builds for a battery-free solution.

No more hassling with the travel restrictions of big lithium batteries.

One less thing to worry about in your camera car.

The Universal Solution.

The UPC and 12VA are completely universal. Yes, that means any V-Mount battery and any 12V car battery will work. Just connect your batteries, charge the UPC, and connect to the MotoCrane PSU. The UPC contains its own power core, so there is no extra strain on the V-Mount batteries or car battery. The integrated flange on both the UPC and 12VA make it simple to mount both accessories semi-permanently within a vehicle for safety and security.

 

Simple Operation.

 

Intuitive Monitoring.

 

New firmware for the MotoCrane Controller allows operators to monitor individual V-Mount battery levels, power core energy, and a new batch of diagnostic codes for making sure the UPC is performing to the highest degree.

Users can update their MotoCrane Controller firmware using the ULTRA Programming Kit.


 100% Portable.

The UPC and 12VA have no lithium or hazardous materials, so they are 100% safe and easy for travel.

The available Flight Case has custom foam for the UPC, 12VA, and all cabling stored safely inside. Now your flight-safe V-Mount batteries can be used for powering ULTRA. With the 12VA, they can even be left at home.

High performance technology.

The UPC stores enough energy (39,000 joules) to swing remote arms 720° (2 complete turns) at maximum RPM, at maximum rated vehicle speed.

The UPC contains 3 ultracapacitor pairs, each thermally managed.

The UPC contains 3 ultracapacitor pairs, each thermally managed.

The Ultracapacitor Power Core utilizes the latest in capacitor technology.

It works by storing energy from the V-Mounts or car battery within its massive 87 farad core, making large bursts of power available to the connected system.


 

How long will the UPC power the arm?

Flight-safe (<100Wh) V-Mount Batteries will provide power for 4+ hours.

High capacity (~200Wh) V-Mount Batteries will provide power for 8+ hours.

With the 12VA, the UPC will provide power continuously without interruption as long as the engine is running.
