We built the ULTIMATE charging station for filmmakers using an IKEA Billy Bookcase! It's perfect for filmmakers who work out of their bedroom or a small studio. Everything was built using IKEA products and DIY store parts, so really accessible!
We talk about all of the different camera batteries we use like Sony NPF, Sony A7s batteries, V-lock Batteries, and Insta 360. We also built a LED light charging bay holder to help store and charge our Aputure MCs and other LED effects light.

Neoprene Foam was 1mm thick. The best place to buy it is from eBay as you can buy different lengths, but if anyone needs some we have plenty, just pay for the delivery.
