Looking for feedback:
I'm interested in using an external battery with a custom cable that would go to the [hirose] power connector on the SD 744T. I found a Poweradd Pilot Pro 2 23000mAh power bank that seems good and was wondering if anyone has experience with this scenario.
I would be using the 12V option on the power bank. It is my understanding that the 744T draws less than 2 amps and with this size power bank, should last significantly longer than a 8 - 9 hour day of recording (or 3 shows?). I know people have done similar configurations with external batteries, whether with a custom sled to attach the power bank to the battery terminals (using a 9V option) or using the hirose connector to go to the power terminal (12V option).
My question is, who has done this using the hirose connector, what have you used, and how long recording time do you get?
