Botswana in southern Africa: Still over 130,000 elephants live here. An ideal place to observe the life of the grey giants. The Hamburg biologists and animal filmmakers Jens Westphalen and Thoralf Grospitz did this for one year. In the midst of the giants, they filmed their lives at close quarters.
In their search for rechargeable batteries that could guarantee an uninterrupted power supply for their Sony F55 camera with Canon HJ 18×28 lens even under extreme outdoor conditions, the experienced film producers decided on our bebob V98. These can be easily transported to Africa by plane and convince (like all bebob batteries) with high reliability, robustness and many practical features.
The shootings of Thoralf Grospitz and Jens Westphalen resulted in a wonderful, touching contribution for Abenteuer Erde: “Abenteuer Erde: Ein Jahr unter Elefanten – zwei Hamburger im Süden Afrika” (Adventure Earth: A year among elephants – two citizens of Hamburger in southern Africa). In addition, other great films were made for Doclights / NDR Naturfilm, Arte and ORF.
