Hey guys I know that there have been a ton of bag suggestion threads but I am looking for a bag to store chargers, cables ect. when traveling. I really like the thinktank line but don't want to spend $150 plus on a bag thats just used for chargers and what not. any ideas??

thanks
BA

I just use a medium sized ripstop nylon packing cube for chargers, cables, adapters, knives that I can't carry on, etc. Has worked for years.

I just use big pencil bags with zippers. Some are pretty big and I can carry almost all my chargers in one, cables and adapters in another. Just have to remember they can sometimes get stolen in your check in bag. Happened to my son.

I bought a small, cheap camera bag at Wal-Mart to store all my e-cigarette stuff.

Just go to any big box store and see what they have.

I use a combination of accessory management accessories (accessories for your accessories?) and simply toss them into whatever bag I am using at the time. For example -

The Grid-It (external link) line from Cocoon is great for organizing a lot of accessories that vary in size. The Storacel (external link) line of battery holders are great for your AA/AAA battery organization needs. Lastly, I use Think Tank Battery Holders (external link) to organize my extra camera batteries.

With accessory organizers like these, it doesn't really matter which bag I use.

Any bag will do, my chargers are in a small lens bag with their cables, other cables are Velcro closed and thrown in, along the charger bag, to a small hold all. No need for an expensive camera bag if you have an old travel bag at home somewhere

I seem to accumulate small zippered pouches/bags as freebies, giveaways, airline toiletry bags etc. etc. I seem to be able to find a photography related use for most of them.


Cheers, Damien

I use Amazon's Universal travel case for small electronics here (external link). It is ok for USB cables, wall worts, etc. It is a little bulky, so I'm thinking about other options. The Grid-It line gets a lot of recommendations.

For somethings i just throw them into individual zip lock bags. That way I can keep related things together and put a tag in the bag so I know what it is.
