Remote Power Made Simple - How Portable Power Stations and Transforming Location Photography and Filming

Remote Power Re-Invented

Remote Power Made Simple: Why Portable Power Stations Are Transforming On-Location Production

When you're working on location, reliable power can make or break your shoot. Whether you’re lighting a remote film set, running monitors on a rural photoshoot, or powering essential equipment where sockets simply don’t exist, portable power has become an essential part of modern production. At Kit Cabin, we specialise in sending fully charged, ready-to-use portable power stations anywhere in the country — giving crews dependable energy exactly where they need it.

These compact units offer a clean, quiet and travel-friendly alternative to traditional petrol generators, making remote shoots more efficient, more flexible and far easier to plan.


Why Portable Power Stations Are Changing On-Location Workflows

Delivered Anywhere You Need Power

One of the biggest advantages of modern power stations is just how easily they can be shipped. Unlike generators, which are heavy, noisy and awkward to transport, portable units are cabin-safe, clean, and simple for us to send directly to your production hub, rural location or studio base.
This means you can arrive on site with power already sorted, rather than relying on whatever may or may not be available.

Perfect for Lighting, Photography & Film Equipment

Portable power is ideal for running:

  • LED lighting setups

  • On-set monitors

  • Wireless video systems

  • Laptops and DIT equipment

  • Battery chargers

  • Small motion control rigs

  • Still photography lighting and accessories

Whether you’re shooting interviews in a field, content in a woodland or product shots in a warehouse with limited sockets, these units ensure your gear stays powered without interruption.

Quiet, Clean & No Fumes

Generators are effective — but they’re also loud, require fuel, and pump out fumes. Portable power stations operate silently, making them perfect for:

  • Dialogue scenes

  • Nature filming

  • Indoor or enclosed locations

  • Live events

  • Corporate and branded content

No background hum, no exhaust, no restrictions.

Reliable Power Where It Doesn’t Exist

The real magic of portable power stations is that they allow you to work exactly where the creative idea takes you, rather than being tied to the nearest plug.
Planning a shoot on a cliff top?
Running lights in the woods?
Need to power comms for an event site?
We can send you a unit that delivers stable, regulated power — wherever you are.

Fast Recharge & Sustainable Operation

Most units recharge via mains, car adapters, or solar panels. For multi-day shoots, they provide a more sustainable, flexible and cost-effective solution compared to running a generator all day.


Portable Power vs Generators — What’s the Difference?

Portable Power Stations

✔ Silent operation
✔ Zero emissions
✔ Lightweight, easy to send nationwide
✔ Safe for indoor use
✔ No need for fuel
✔ Ideal for lighting, cameras, computers and charging gear

Generators

✔ Higher maximum power output
✔ Runs continuously with fuel
✘ Loud
✘ Heavy and hard to transport
✘ Not suitable for indoor environments
✘ Requires maintenance, fuel and ventilation

For most small-to-medium productions, portable power stations cover everything you need — without the logistical complications.


Remote Power, Delivered Wherever Your Shoot Takes You

At Kit Cabin, we make accessing reliable remote power simple. Our power stations are lightweight, safe, and ready to use straight out of the case. Whether you're shooting stills, filming promotional content, powering lighting rigs or running essential kit where mains power is limited, we can ship a solution directly to your location.
