Atomos, known for their field recorders, has recently announced a new portable power solution.

Interesting device that will be helpful but can we stop making things that go underneath the camera? All we are doing is raising the center of gravity and making DSLRs harder to work with for video in the field.
Image this with a sound recorder (like the tascam dr60 or beachtec box) underneath the camera. Now it's like twice the height.
/rant...(sorry I just like the bigger shoulder camera style for video haha).
