Oh dang dat's nice! Imma need this
AWESOME!!! I will definitely look into this setup. The amount of chargers is crazy.
Oh gosh, that is so gorgeous. Definitely goals for our office. I love how sleek it looks and the battery buckets. Definitely got me thinking haha. I absolutely hate the mess of wires charging everything before a shoot.
It's beautiful! I was just talking about something like this because I keep adding more and more stuff and it's a mess of cables at this point. This was super helpful! Nice job too!
I'm working on converting a guest house into a studio area so this is perfect 😍 😍 Thank you!
The screws are M8 capped hex screws for anyone wondering. As a tip make sure whatever stand off mounts you order come with drywall anchors and screws that fit inside stand off mounts to go into the wall. The M8 screws might take a little bit of drilling out of the peg board to make them slightly wider because they are a tiny bit larger than the holes. hope this helps someone. I built the same thing :)
I bought the screws updated on the link and I think they don't fit. LuckIns stand off 1/2 x 2 inch
I purchased M8 (40mm) capped hex screws but they seem to go right through the holes. Should I add a washer?
I came for the shirt, and wasn't disappointed. Good stuff dude!
dress to impress ;)
That looks amazing! So clean I love it!
This is a really great charging station you have. Nothing too complicated and helps save time in the long run!
👏🏼 Awesome job man! Stealing this and also subscribed.
Just now seeing this video... This is literally goals man.. Hope to have something like this in my office someday.
Thank you so much for sharing!! I love the idea! So neat and clean!!
This is awesome guys! We will definitely be building one of these this month :) Appreciate the creative idea and tips.
This was awesome! Can't wait to get mine all set up.
You guys are so awesome!! Really enjoyed this video and setup! Keep it up!
Great idea! Definitely going to put something like this in my new office next month!
Simple and effective! Love it.
Mate, this is so over the top! I love it! :D
Great job. One suggestion is the hole you opened up for the larger cables I would get something to cover the sharp edges. I would also zip tie the cables to prevent them from too much movement as things heat and cool.
I was thinking the same thing, he didn't seem to notice the sharp edges could cut the wires, that could in turn cause the metal peg board to turn live/Hot so metal would need to have a good earthing also.
Came here to say this. Those jagged knife edges made me cringe when he ran the wire through. Seems like painting a wood (or MDF or whatever it is) pegboard might be a better way to go. Especially since most of it’s attached with Velcro anyway.
Holy crap this is what I’ve been looking for! Much appreciated 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Forget about camera envy, I now have charging station envy! Top job!
REALLY COOL SETUP. Thanks for the video.
Dude I love this! Might just have to make one myself! Thanks for making this vid!
Super clean - great job and thanks for sharing
Just what I was looking for, thank you
Thank you so much for this video guys, we just ordered everything for our own studio in Atlanta.
where do you get the standoffs for the wall? Link would be great!
Absolutely loving this set-up! It's brilliant
Thanks so much!
Awesome clean setup.
Nice, exactly what I was looking for, thanks!
Installing this in my office right now!
Guys, this is awesome!
YES to this! Looks so sick
Def making one of these!
Nice and organized!
definitely need this.
Love it, looks amazing!
Just what I was looking for
great video men! thank you!
This is great. I’d love to do something like this, but built into a pretty cabinet or bookshelf so I can close the doors and not be looking at it all the time.
Thanks for the idea!
Might not be a good idea to close a cabinet full of electrical devices, could heat up and potentially ruin them or worse cause a fire
gonna finally tackle doing this
I like this a lot. I have xt4 and xt3 so the chargers are a little different but I think this could potentially work as well.
Cool, Thanks man
That is freaking awesome!!
That's so awesome!
This is great. Price is really good as well. My current charging station is a mess! I will definitely give these a look.
I just found this video this morning, totally went out and bought a matte black peg board :)
Yeah! more content! Keep it up!
Still good two years later🤘🏽
Well Done!
wow its very helpfull. thank you so much
So satisfying. Wish I worked in an agency that only does video. I work in real estate, so the budget doesn't have the flexibility to get something like this.
I need this.
wow ! pretty sick
Nice idea.
Very neat.
Very awesome!
that's so cool holy moly
DUDE THIS IS SICK NASTY CLEANNNNN.
Always come here for the shirts and fresh fades, but mean this monochrome goodness is de-lishhhh.
That’s dope dude
Great Video! I tried a similar thing myself but the glue on the velcro melted once the chargers heated up over night. Any tips to still make it work? Thanks.
Great Job and Great Video. I am subscribing for such Ideas.
BTW, GREAT CONTENT AS ALWAYS!!!
Great 💡
pretty cool set up! are the battery chargers on the left all upside down now though?
Love this. I just have a supper long power strip on the wall that can charge most of my stuff all at once.
Greetings. I like your video, it has good information. In this video I saw a NAS on your table. What model is it ?
Nice start! I would have mounted the camera and NP chargers so that gravity worked for you to hold batteries in place which would have not looked as nice aesthetically. Also a metal shelf between the charging levels could offer some protection from a cascade fire should you experience a battery failure.
Loooove this 😍😍
awesome and super effective idea u got frm ur video
Thanks a lot
Hello, Congratulations. 👍 Cool. I am impressed. Smart. 👏👏👏
office tour!!!
Clean setup. I’d be worried about the batteries dropping faced that way. When I’m on the road shooting, I get the USB dual chargers for the gh5 batteries to save on space. Wasabi Power makes some. Then I plug 3 dual chargers into the wall and can let them charger overnight if needed and not play the game of waking up and changing batteries. They’re also nice on the run because you can have a 10000mah portable usb charger and can charge some batteries.
Are you able to use the GH5 with the ronin and a monitor together?
You could get the ronin s charging adapter to have more space
Anyway, great solution and nice to see, thumb up!
to sick man !
Love this system! Curious about the wall stand off mounts, having a hard time finding exactly what they are and where to get them, any tips? Thanks!
Updated the description!
Hey Caleb just wanted to know why you chose the ronin s over the crane 2? Reason I ask is because I avoided it due to the fact that the manfrotto plate doesnt fit on the ronin s. Just wanted to see your perspective on why you got the ronin s. Thanks
Hello, what kind of nas is that on your desk in the background? Looks like it has two 2 slots for 2.5 drives.
This is so much better than my Alabama charging station, which is just a rubbermaid tub.
ummm, is it though? that definitely sounds amazing
I saw you comment and I just had to add my 2 cent. All you did was name/brand drop and ziptie chargers to the wall. Thats like asking guest to take shoes off at the door and your home full of cat hair and piss. Please Do better.
Once they are charged and your heading out to shoot, do you have a case to hold all your batteries, or do you toss them all in the camera bags??
Looks cool. Would be a pain if you needed the chargers for traveling even with the velcro.
Okay, I bought everything you have here, but I am having a HECK of a time bending the metal to get the cables through. You just used a screwdriver and pair of pliers?
Great work! 👍 BUT... I hope you've discovered hole saws and larger drill bits since 2019! 😛
You've saved me from the disorganized photographer's INSANE ASYLUM!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
You are so welcome!
Nice video! I love your shirt bro
Scotch and Soda ;)
Why have the ronin built?
You transport it built as well?
Where did you get the wall stand off mounts?
Great idea, been looking for solutions like this. I would have put the chargers the other way around though so the batteries slide in towards the ground instead of towards the ceiling. Just so gravity can help keep them seated.
Thought of that as well, but wanted to read the percentage indicators right side up. Also, after 2 years, I have never had 1 battery fall. So it locks in pretty good.
This stuff is so cool is have to say am neither one of what you suggested but I have many things that need charging and am sick of it setting on my desk or my dresser or my night stand. I like clean flat surfaces it just looks better. that peg board am going to mount behind my wall mounted tv to hold all of are video game consoles and controllers such good things my friend.
Hey, are you using a Blackmagic Pocket on your Ronin?
I bit late for the party, I have a few suggestions in case someone else wants to build this:
1. Put the powerstrip in a way that you can reach the switch on it.
2. When you put cables through the perforated sheet, use rubber grommets to protect the cables (And it looks more professional)
3. ???
4. Profit!
Damn that's a beautiful sight! Just be careful none of the chargers or power strips get too hot. It happened with my PC cable management and the Velcro strips lost their adhesiveness. It might be worth securing any of the items that get a bit hot with something extra.
it actually happened to me and so I got better velcro that I linked in our kit that doesn't lose stickiness and fall anymore. learned the hard way and killed a charger to the ground. not because of heat though, because of battery weight.
I just had an idea: If you hinged this setup to the wall so that it opened like double doors you’d have a much easier time changing or adding chargers to it. More of a modular set up and a good bit more user friendly. Other than some blocks and piano hinges, I’m not an engineer so it might take some trips to the hardware store to figure out how to make that happen, but I think it would make foe a nice combo of functionality and adaptability. 😎
Thats a nice idea. However, the goal is to never have to get to the chargers or add to it, Which is why its all tied up permanently behind the peg board. If I want to take the chargers with me, I just disconnect it and I have tons of those charger cables separately that I can just grab if I need to.
I’m so doing this thx for the life hack
glad I could help!
Neat. Bit concerned of cables being worm or cut with the sharp metal edges on the drilled/cut holes. Also Velcro is not a great idea, it tends to come off as the chargers (and the adhesive) get warm during use.
Our first batch of velcro came off within 24 hours. We updated our link to the new velcro we use and they have not come off ever. So get the high quality velcro and you will be set ;) Also, the metal edges don't dig into the cables for us but it is something people should be aware of.
Please tell us where you got the stand off wall mounts. I’ve been to every Lowe’s/home depot and can’t find them anywhere.
IMDR3W from amazon. Check our kit link in the description for the links 👍🏼
The new updated mounts don't fit naturally. did you bend the back part to make them fit ?
Obsessed. Have to find a way to do this with my tools. Thanks for the idea!
Why not have the cords be fed around the pegboard than through?
Where did you get those spacers for the wall to screw the peg board in?

WHERE DID YOU GET THESE AWESOME SHOE???????????????? PLEASE LET REPLY!!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
