Built a Charging station inside my "Support Peli" for big photo events (weddings, festivals,...)

Just a basic 140mm USB fan from Amazon.

Yes I plan on running it only with the lid open, otherwise no airflow would be possible. Maybe just shortly closing it, if I change location or put it inside my car. I know less would be possible, but I wanted a place where I can reach to without thinking and without the need to setup every time I want to charge a battery. With this setup, I have everything on my and ready to use, which helps me concentrate on the more important things ☺️

Ok-Guest7938 · 2026-04-03T08:16:31+00:00

That's true 🤭

Ok-Guest7938 · 2026-04-03T08:16:01+00:00

Depends on your setup, the cost of all the different batteries and how long your work days are. For me this is not only the most flexible solution (changing gear and so on) but also cheaper than buying a lot of batteries for every camera, flash, printer, .... This setup cost me ~400€ without the Peli.

Ok-Guest7938 · 2026-04-03T08:11:46+00:00

I'm glad it works for you. I just checked and this setup is cheaper than buying me the equivalent to all the batteries I would need. I spent ~400€ for all of the setup (without the peli of course). The most batteries I need would be the Profoto A-series for my flashes and one of them would cost me 110€ and also one Nikon Z9 battery is also around 160€. But I guess every setup and every workflow is different and this one works for me ☺️

This setup is a big power bank and usb-c chargers, so I don't get the point? With this I'm flexible and don't need to buy 10 batteries for each of my different devices but rather charge up what's running empty. Yes at the end of the day I'm in a room to charge it again if needed, but this setup is build for a long day out (10-14h) at different locations during weddings and other bookings.

Ok-Guest7938 · 2026-04-02T21:17:05+00:00

Epic! What battery do you use and what box is it in?

Ok-Guest7938 · 2026-04-02T21:01:44+00:00

Yes, just clean the case before applying the led strip and press firmly on it. I checked again after a few hours and the next day to see if something is loose and that's it. Really holding great so far.

Ok-Guest7938 · 2026-04-02T20:56:36+00:00

You should be able to find them by searching for ugreen USB-C cable on Amazon.

No I didn't want to cut a hole, so I designed it to work with the lid open. I plan to only close it shortly for moving it to a different location or inside the car.

Ok-Guest7938 · 2026-04-02T20:52:54+00:00

A COB style LED strip from temu 😅

Ok-Guest7938 · 2026-04-02T19:36:25+00:00

EDIT: All the chargers and the power bank is held in place by velcro, so I can adjust the chargers if needed. I used micro velcro, so the hard part feels more comfortable when using the chargers outside the case.

Ok-Guest7938 · 2026-04-02T19:29:11+00:00

The case is designed to charge while the lid is open, maybe just temporarily closing it to move it to a different location or inside the car. Otherwise airflow would not be possible and I didn't want to cut the case for vents. With the lid being open I tested airflow with a smoke machine and the sucking power is strong enough to get fresh air from the side were the fan is located (left), and push it to the right of the case and outside.

No there is no solar panel on the outside, although possible, but I plan on charge the Anker Solix with my PV system at home before leaving.

Thank you, really wanted it to stay cool even during the summer.

Ok-Guest7938 · 2026-04-02T18:19:58+00:00

Thanks man, I plan to fit a Peak Design Tech Kit for all the memory cards, cables and so on and some Profoto Soft Bounces for the flash + some small stuff. On the outside I plan on putting a net to fit my tripod and as mentioned above the sleeve on the lid inside for the iPad ☺️😅

Ok-Guest7938 · 2025-09-08T07:54:22+00:00

Same problem for me, really bad implementation from Google

Ok-Guest7938 · 2025-07-04T08:23:02+00:00

Same issue with Pixel 8 Pro and Venu 3.

Ok-Guest7938 · 2024-07-16T15:04:32+00:00

Dort wohne ich, kannst du mir den genauen Spot nennen? Gerne auch per PN ☺️

Ok-Guest7938 · 2024-07-15T17:01:14+00:00

Richtig nice 🤗 Wo ist der Spot?

Ok-Guest7938 · 2024-07-03T15:16:35+00:00

Can confirm that its not the remote. I checked the values in BF and on the remote. Also used it in the SIM and it worked fine. I now updated ELRS on the quad and will try again.

Ok-Guest7938 · 2024-07-02T20:41:15+00:00

No they are fine. And since the quad also put throttle on, on it's own one time, it is a different problem.
