    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 :)

    • @riseabovesoccer946

      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?

  • @pcmodderz
    @pcmodderz 5 ปีที่แล้ว +23

    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.

    • @martinmuldoon603
      @martinmuldoon603 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      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.

    • @jakeniederhauser5539
      @jakeniederhauser5539 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      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.

    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.

  • @BillStreeter
    @BillStreeter 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    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.

    • @Whiteinrevery
      @Whiteinrevery  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      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.

  • @rickjbradbury
    @rickjbradbury 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    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.

    • @Whiteinrevery
      @Whiteinrevery  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      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.

    @InfuzedMedia 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    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.

    • @Whiteinrevery
      @Whiteinrevery  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      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.

  • @RetrowTV
    @RetrowTV 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    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. 😎

    • @Whiteinrevery
      @Whiteinrevery  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      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.

  • @tommytomtomtomestini3894
    @tommytomtomtomestini3894 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    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!

  • @Stealther
    @Stealther 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    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.
