Hi AV experts,

First a little background. I coach a flatwater canoe racing team in Cali, and I'd like some mobile way of taking video I have captured on a standard DV cam and reviewing it right there after practice at the dock. This is favorable to trying to get the team together elsewhere to review.

My thoughts are to mount or just bring a standard LCD screen (say, 20" monitor) in my trunk and power it somehow from my car. Being a total electrical newb, I have no idea what is the best way to power this setup. What I would require is:
1. Power a 20" LCD monitor for up to an hour
2. Possibly power a DV cam for up to an hour
3. Engine would be off during this time.

Any suggestions from the experts here on this forum?

Thanks in advance.

 

if you ran a tv and dv camera for a hour on an acura battery, you would have a dead battery, these can barely take 30 minutes of radio. All i can suggest is run power wires from the battery to an inverter, and keep the car on.

 

Optima Yellow-Top battery. Start there.

 

BUY A GENERATOR IS UR ONLY SOLUTION.
