Benefits of having these BOBs on your next shoot:
LESS ENVIRONMENTAL & NOISE POLLUTION
Fuel generators give off toxic fumes.
Assistants can spill petrol or diesel when refilling the generators.
Generators are noisy, especially in the early hours, which can lead to complaints from the public
SOLAR POWER
The BOB boxes arrive on set fully charged and can be topped up if required, using solar panels, and even a wind turbine
PRODUCTION
A single Billy BOB can provide power for 3 x laptops, a Wi-Fi router, and a medium-sized commercial printer.
UNIT FRIENDLY
The ECO NINJAS are fully trained to manage these Eco-friendly power boxes and will assist the unit department.
The Unit Managers will still provide their usual kits, plus extension leads, strip plugs, work lights, etc.
A single Billy BOB can easily power 10 x Work Lights, run a lead to the Lighting Truck for their truck set up lights, and provide power to the Production Tent.

SAVE ON FUEL COSTS
The cost of Petrol is R25.09/litre and Diesel is R26.48/litre in August 2022.That is a 37.5% increase for petrol and 70% increase for diesel since August 20213kva and 6kva generator tanks are 15L = R375 to R398 to fill.
The average Petty Cash claim for genny fuel per day is between R900 and R1500 per day for the 2021/2022 Film Season for having 2 x 3kva/6kva Generators on set.
By replacing the fuel generators with BOB boxes, your production company will not only save on fuel costs but they will be making a huge move towards being green and eco-friendly as the BOB boxes can be replenished using Solar power or Wind Turbines.
VIDEO TAKE OFF
The client's VT Village only requires 1 x Billy BOB to power up the monitors, Wi-Fi router, and laptops for hours as the BOB is being recharged using solar power.
Plus it's silent and does not give off toxic fumes.
CRAFT
Connecting a Big Bob and a smaller Billy Bob together provides enough power for the craft team to run their medium-sized Cappuccino Machine, boil a kettle, and even their sandwich press for those midday toasties.
MAKEUP & HAIR
Hair Dryers and Flat Irons are high-wattage items and the ECO Ninjas will provide power and guidance so the team knows what they can switch on and run without BOB cutting out.
LED Makeup Mirrors are low wattage and not an issue
WARDROBE
Steamers and Irons are high wattage appliances but the ECO Ninjas will ensure the Wardrobe Department is able to do what they need to without feeling frustrated
ART DEPARTMENT
These BOBs have even provided power for high-wattage power tools for quick alterations required on set.
