CHEAP Storage Solutions For Your Gear

[@ChrisFranklinJr]

What gear storage advice do you have??

[@joenicklo]

I've got a ton of different options. I've got a Cinebag High Roller production bag (that I rarely use), a Cinebags CB25 Revolution backpack (which I love). Depending on what I'm shooting I'll cycle between my CB25 backpack and a Nanuk 950. I also have Pelican and Nanuk cases. My MoVI Pro transports in a custom foam cut Pelican case from Jason Cases. My audio gear is in a small Nanuk case, my Ronin S, custom foam Nanuk case, Inspire drone is another custom cut Pelican from Jason Cases. PS, when you joining my Discord man??!! ;)

[@ChrisFranklinJr]

Dude crazy helpful insight! And I'm in there, I just never open discord haha! I should probably be more active!

[@MarkTrego]

You're a genius! I'm basically retired now but did photo full-time for over thirty years. I wish I knew this stuff starting in the 80's! Just one totally amazing job, Chris.

[@ChrisFranklinJr]

Thank you so much!!

[@demojoys]

good lord son, that battery set up is CLEAN. respect

[@ChrisFranklinJr]

Ayyyye!! Thank you!!

[@thenexthobby]

One thing I'd recommend is if you find a case or plastic box you like, buy multiples. Nothing's worse than deciding you need another next year and discovering it's not available and now you have mis-matched boxes that won't store well on shelves.

[@ericanelson2336]

You' re delivery is on point - you're explanations are concise and clear, the pacing is very comfortable for viewer.

I lost a lens today, so decided to come searching for better storage options. Haha. Will be going to my local harbor freight. Thanks for sharing

[@johngambriel4493]

Went to Harbor Freight today and got the Apache 4800 to build a portable power hardcase. Once that is complete and operational, I plan to pick up a used hardcase that is a tad bigger (looking at a previously owned SKB 2914 on ebay) so I can build a lockable portable case that I can hard-cable to the car frame, keep padlocked when not in use and have it tall enough to allow easier access to my rig with the Canon RF600 f4 attached and (if it ever comes in...)a separate rig with the RF200mm-800mm attached. Dry bags just don't cut it anymore ...I just need to bring more with me.

[@bsrodgers]

Chris! Thanks for this video. I'm in West Monroe, Louisiana and work at a church. I just picked up a ton of new gear and was looking for something new storage wise. HARBOR FREIGHT! Boom! Way to go!

[@ChrisFranklinJr]

Not too far from me! Harbor Freight comes in CLUTCH!

[@benjamincampbell7241]

Always bringing the heat. Killer vid, man.

[@RafaelLudwig]

Gah! You beat me to it! Was going to make a similar video about cases! Great video Chris!

[@ChrisFranklinJr]

I just got all these in so I had to!! Can’t wait to see yours!!

[@dimitrifevrier2138]

Whew this video filled with straight up gems 💎💎💎

[@ChrisFranklinJr]

Much love!

[@fotolillyphotography]

What is the name of the case for the tripods ????? Thank u

[@ChrisFranklinJr]

TRIPOD CASE: amzn.to/3gVcXHI Although I use a different one now! I use the zipper bag style now because it is easier to pack!

[@melindalivsey1]

Love the backdrop!

[@ChrisFranklinJr]

Thanks friend!! Decided to add a little variety!

[@phillipmcswain3084]

Helpful video. Did not think about my storage process once I begin to purchase more gear. Keep’ me coming bro.

[@ChrisFranklinJr]

Storage is crazy important! It's good to start early!

[@phillipmcswain3084]

I’m going to send this video to my friend.

[@KoolCreation]

I have the Apache 5800 similar to the Pelican 1510. I ended up getting the dividers and sold the foam. I will try to post an update video about it.

[@43srgrock]

Thanks for the info. I am looking at storing my trail cameras, and other charging components for hunting season, and for going up north.

[@jessestarks3128]

Good tip on Apache cases; will have to give them a look. Thanks Sir!

[@billlanagan2320]

not much more to say than phenomenal video! great info. clean visuals.

[@micahcrews]

This is excellent! Thank you, Chris. I really appreciate your perspective and your guidance.

[@christiandavis5840]

Good stuff brother. Thanks for the info.

[@ChrisFranklinJr]

No problem!!

[@MikeEdwardsphotography]

Next level organization Chris!!! These cases are a great investment! Thanks brother.

[@ChrisFranklinJr]

I appreciate it!! Always here to help!

[@TimHunold]

Harbor freight always has those 25% off coupons. And then they have seasonal sales and other random sales constantly. So you can pick up some of these cases for pretty cheap. I think I paid 40 bucks for that case recently. I also have to say that they have a folding mag liner type cart that has two levels on it and is incredibly useful for onset

[@bombzproductions9595]

Thanks for another great video! I’ve been struggling with organization!

[@ChrisFranklinJr]

Absolutely!! It feels so much better to have all I this organization in my life now!

[@justellen2384]

I love the battery case!! I'm definitely gonna implement that. i always tend to lose my batteries too

[@garden_hooligan]

You' re delivery is on point - you're explanations are concise and clear, the pacing is very comfortable for viewer. As someone just starting out the videos you make are a real help. I am wondering how you handle lighting storage and transport? Thanks for making these!

[@ChrisFranklinJr]

Glad you enjoyed it! I am currently working on a better way to transport my lights! Right now, I just carry everything separately!

[@bassgojoe]

Love your videos! Here’s a comment for the algorithm

[@ChrisFranklinJr]

[@ChrisFranklinJr]

[@Megawill127]

awesome vid man! definitely going to purchase some Apache cases. was saving up for the Pelican cases but I like the options you presented here!

[@ChrisFranklinJr]

Pelicans are awesome but that Apache case comes in clutch with the price!

[@knywtn]

This is exactly what I needed. Thank you!

[@ChrisFranklinJr]

Glad it was helpful!!

[@DeanBartley_]

Awesome video. Been looking for cheaper cases for a while now. Thanks maan.

[@ChrisFranklinJr]

No problem!! This is the way to go!

[@DeanBartley_]

@@ChrisFranklinJr do you think the Apache 4800 can hold a DJI Ronin M? Been looking for a cheap case for it.

[@joenicklo]

Great video Chris.

[@ChrisFranklinJr]

Thank you so much!!

[@BalefishTV]

I love this video. I am definitely in need of some hard cases and would never have found these budget friendly cases without you. Also I think you should make a video about building a video editing PC.

[@ChrisFranklinJr]

Glad it was helpful! And more and more people ask about that so I can definitely have that coming soon!

[@filmabent]

This helped a LOT! Thanks!

[@ChrisFranklinJr]

Here to help!!

[@ColtonSimmonsPhotography]

"Two Hours later" made me lol - I am definitely going to grab some of these Apache cases!

[@ChrisFranklinJr]

LOL!! Glad you enjoyed!!

[@newgearsmell2]

Sorry this is random. Your set looks fantastic. Very clean and balanced. Great job man!

[@CreativeCrooks521]

[@ChrisFranklinJr]

Happy to help!!

[@JaredRaines]

Super helpful, bro! Love to see FTF reppin’! Salute.

[@ChrisFranklinJr]

Much Love Full Time Fam!

[@HB-ow9wy]

I got me two of these just this week! They are nice and on sale right now for $45 so go there and stock up! One bad thing though is that the clamps are on the top cover so they get in the way when opening/closing the case but thats a small issue compared to the savings and what your essentially protecting.

[@nima3220]

Thank you! wish I have a closet like that too!

[@OffTheBeatenPot]

This channel doesn’t have enough subs. One more now! Thanks!!

[@ChrisFranklinJr]

Thank you so so much!!

[@Burritosarebetterthantacos]

You can pick up mil spec Pelican cases from the army surplus stores for about $25. Just a heads up👍🏻

[@ChrisFranklinJr]

Appreciate that!! Good looking out!

[@yesaira]

Super helpful thanks for sharing!!

[@JarredCordova]

Oh shit you already on that harber Freight tip, you got this man amazing channel I'm definitely sticking around man you've got a fan in me!

[@ChrisFranklinJr]

Out here doing what I can!! Thanks for the support!!

[@macbaar6073]

I use Bosch blue L-Boxx system - it’s sturdy, you can click it together and have a tower and they are cheap….

[@retrofilmworx9326]

Yo man all I can say is that Apache Case is K.I.N.G. wealth. thanks for that simple yet power-filled tip on being organized. It's a must from pre - post . BTW what mic are you using?

[@ChrisFranklinJr]

The Rode NTG 3!

[@tristankovatis2571]

Can't go wrong with Ridgid Pro Gear tool system. The new cases and boxes are wall mountable as well.

[@luissalazar2021]

I love the pelicans but they are heavyyyy, thanks for sharing

[@ChrisFranklinJr]

[@Chris1878e]

What are these cases like for stopping Camera gear getting fungus from humidity?

[@IonicTechYT]

A year late, but how do you keep humidity low? Are all these cases air tight and prevent molds and fungi? Thanks man!! Great video!

[@ChrisFranklinJr]

I wish I had an answer for you but I don't! Sorry about that, my area isn't really humid I imagine!

[@shanemckoy6123]

Thank you for this video!

[@highidf3701]

dope video been watching your videos

[@ChrisFranklinJr]

Thank you so much!!!

[@TheFirstMillion]

Very helpful, thank you ❤

[@KonQ242]

I'm definitely looking into these. My question is do you use any hard cases with rollers for travel?

[@ChrisFranklinJr]

I Don't yet because I wanted to buy a much larger one that I can keep more things in. Right now, I use the Peter McKinnon Nomatic Bag for travel since it can hold a ton!

[@markhoath44]

I use a Pelican 1610 for my BMPCC 6k. Has rollers for travel!

[@KonQ242]

@@markhoath44 Ill check it out!

[@TexpatOTG]

I'm more creative when things are chaotic. Cheers (no car here in Saigon, all my gear rides with me on a Honda scooter)

[@Kevlexicon]

love it! thanks for sharing ur experience/providing affordable solutions not requiring a garage for film stuff lol ❤️🎬

[@ChrisFranklinJr]

Haha Here to help!

[@markalanjackson]

Chris, you didn't tell us what hard case that is for your tripods and light stands? Please?

[@ChrisFranklinJr]

Hey Mark, the tripod case is linked in the description!

[@gg31hh]

Do you not use dry cabinet? how do you keep the humidity away?

[@ChrisFranklinJr]

I currently don't! I have has no problems so far but I keep everything sealed in cases.

[@JoeOberster]

You don't use a cart? Do you just carry your 5 or 6 cases two at a time and take multiple trips to and from your car?

[@ChrisFranklinJr]

Just started using a cart when I got them all! SUPER HELPFUL!
