What HEDBOX does

HEDBOX is a privately held designer and manufacturer of lithium-ion battery packs, chargers, and power solutions for the professional photo and video industry. The company was founded in Switzerland in February 2009 under the name REDPRO and rebranded to HEDBOX in 2015; it is operationally headquartered in Slovenia with R&D retained in Switzerland and production relocated to Shenzhen, China in 2013. The product portfolio spans six categories: Cine & Pro Battery Packs (HED-BP, NINA, NERO V-mount lines), DV Battery Packs (Sony NPF/FZ100/FW50, Canon LPE6, and other mount-specific batteries), Battery Chargers (compact travelers, LCD models with D-Tap/USB, and V-mount dual chargers), Power Stations (PROBANK, MEGABANK, GIGABANK lines combining charging and UPS functions), Power V-Lock Plates (UNIX series and brand-specific plates for Blackmagic, Sony, and Canon cameras), and accessories such as charger plates and carrying cases.

The underlying technology centers on Lithium-Ion cells (LG and Samsung 18650), proprietary packaging called Cells Framing Construction (CFC) for mechanical stability, and an Advanced Battery Management System (BMS) for operational safety. Differentiated features include Auto Capacity Indication (ACI), Low Capacity Alarm (LCA), and USB-C charging on smart SKUs. All warehouses are IATA-certified for the air transport of lithium-ion batteries, addressing a known compliance friction point for global professional users.

The business model is hardware sales of branded batteries and accessories, sold direct-to-consumer through the hedbox.eu web shop and through distributor and reseller networks. Distribution centers operate in Slovenia (Europe HQ/warehouse), Las Vegas (Americas, opened 2018), Dubai (Middle East/Africa, opened 2017), and Hong Kong (Asia). The company claims 18% market share in the European professional photo and video industry (up from 3% in 2009-2013) and an estimated 7% globally. Customers are professional photographers, videographers, cinematographers, and media production companies requiring high-capacity, multi-device power packs compatible with major camera OEM mounts. No funding rounds, acquisitions, or public reporting are disclosed.
