How to Build a CHARGING STATION For Filmmakers

[@JamieFenn]

Would have been funny to include the footage of the station ripping out of the wall hahahah

[@bradpaulp]

I love this. I actually have all of the components sitting in my closet since like 6 months ago waiting to do this. Going to tackle this before end of year. I feel like charging station videos have become the new "desk tour" videos. hahah.

[@RomanWasntBuiltInADay]

You got this!

[@loganfolkmann536]

Jake, your a really good filmmaker. I’m hoping to make it a profession some day. Almost every day I go rip around on the four wheeler with the GoPro and photograph my goats!! Super awesome! Thanks for teaching me!😅

[@camilojilo]

He's not Parker. Just in case. He's Jake. Jake from StateFarm

[@micahreimerfilms]

Great video! Would love to see another variation of this for a portable charging station that doesn’t have to be mounted to the wall…

[@jozefdoyle]

you mean like some kind of table?

[@micahreimerfilms]

@@jozefdoyle I've seen some guys create a portable charging station in a small Pelican case for taking on long shoots that may require recharging batteries on set.

[@jozefdoyle4621]

@@micahreimerfilms That''s so cool!

[@landonbtw]

Love it.

[@hasib---ahmed1577]

Hello 👋 i am biggest fan of yours photography & cinematography. I am from Bangladesh

[@powellfilmmaking]

Great balance between keeping it practical and looking good at the same time!

[@CaseyBurnsInvesting]

This looks so clean. Good work and thanks for the pro tips.

[@Evanjames37]

Hey Jake, quick mounting tip. Make a French cleat, that way you can mount and dismount whenever you want. That’s how I run mine 👍🏻

[@LoudlabsNYC]

I need this

[@agustinmunozrocha]

I’ve been waiting this video for months

[@HFDWHALERS97]

Hey Jake I know you said the pegboard was custom made, but any idea where the viewers can do/make something like that with the built in outlet? Great video!

[@AudioJanitor]

What a great idea for ETSYers

[@Colliervideo]

intro is fire.

[@gwm-btdbattlesagar.ioandmo9988]

If pegboards are hard to find like where I live, locker hangers/trays also work great as it has holes you can feed cables through etc..

[@teolopez]

It’s like you guys can read my mind 🧐🛸 I was going to start working on this over Christmas break.

[@RivuSouravBanerjeeVideoEditor]

was waiting fr this video .. i bought a ikea white peg board to dobthis, bcus that’s what i hot here in india, this video will help. But Jake .. i think ur black peg board will look more dope with the background led, as it will create that matt black moody look. i feel the lights r ruining the dark themed look.

[@LeonardoAnchisi]

Great video! I love the way you made it.

[@Philipppppppp]

I’m so early that I don’t have anything funny to say

[@alexkooistra]

I get it, wall mount saves space. But batteries hate drops. This will sooner or later happen. I'd opt for a very shallow shelf system. I also work with a wide range of systems, from aa to bigger v-mount batteries. But good job, hope it suits you.

[@ShinyTechThings]

I'll probably do something like this but 3D print some of the components.

[@JakeWeisler]

That sounds awesome, send a pic when you do!

[@ShinyTechThings]

@@JakeWeisler I'll post on my community page and probably do a video on it as well but it will have to be after the Holidays.

[@aamsergie]

The video everyone wants!

[@joeladrianfilms8991]

Great video Jake but with my larger Sony NPF batteries, the command strips just didn't cut it. Two of the chargers peeled off and *thud* in the middle of the night!

[@TheMusicMaker311]

Keep up the good videos Jake. Have you ever used the canon 80. If so, do you think it's a good camera? Could you please do a video sometimes on how to use different focal length and how it effect depth of field? Thanks!

[@WonderFilm]

M50 would get you more bang for the buck. Look for anything with 10bit video and any other features you'd want. Thats my recommendation at least, haha

[@JohnKonye]

got a peg board... but used very few peg board accessories :)

[@gregbibens]

My issue is, I travel a lot for shoots....so what do you do when you need to take all the chargers for on the go charging? Seems impossible to take back apart each time....thoughts?

[@Roman.the.explorer]

Nice! I did one similar to Becki and Chris and also made a video about it! Super helpful!

[@Lastlineshow]

Great video it really turned out great. Where did you get your custom peg board made? Love the look of it.

[@poondawg]

Alright back to hardware mode... Nice setup!

[@WaltervanDusen]

**Question please**. The motion pop ups when pointing out items, was that done in Premiere or FCP? If Premiere, could you share where you got them?

[@vedant_sl]

Great set-up 👍

[@JessaWanders]

Heck yeah I need this!!!!

[@mello1631]

Where is the link for the items?

[@dhileebans5440]

Love from India 🤩

[@JBproductions.]

nice intro

[@loganfolkmann536]

Heyyyyy

[@MarkKidsley1989]

top tip, you can buy right angled cables and shorter ones too

[@watsonryan907]

Dude I love your channel. You seriously make super solid content with good advice. I make similar stuff on my channel. I compete in film festivals and I’m even working on a feature film

[@brandonlee1292]

Where is this peg board from?

[@jakubparzygnat]

What kind of lamp is behind on the wall

[@fawwazallie7736]

I appreciate the work , but bro you gotta wrap that XLR nicely

[@iSpike]

Well done 👍🏻

[@ValyArdeleanu]

and... when you travel you take the hole panel with you? :)

[@searcyproductions]

Beautiful

[@agustinmunozrocha]

Thanks FTF!

[@createdaley]

What did you use for the gimbal?

[@kimpossible211995]

Is it possible to do this with wood this question is because I have a lot of wood in my house

[@IndioA]

and when shooting 300km away from home for 3 days you get your board with you? ;- )

[@jim821122]

Hi, does anyone knows what the sound effect is in 0:15? I remember I have seen the tutorial in FTF but can't remember. Thx.

[@cinematicknifeart9744]

Stop the light leak will look better

[@diosesplenitud]

Nice

[@EthanGueck]

Is it okay to constantly leave the batteries plugged in?

[@masterfulldevil]

same question

[@MariusIhlar]

No. Batteries are happiest at 70% charged.

[@heldensatko]

thats nice fire hazard... :D

[@ulriktnnesen5987]

I was thinking of that too :)

[@brandonlee1292]

Why is it a fire hazard? Honest question. Why is this more hazardous than the standard way of charging all of this?

[@heldensatko]

@@brandonlee1292 heat form chargers. chargers should be always in ventilated iron /steel box. Always....

[@bj0ernaa]

Final upgrade: Position a smoke detector directly above this charging station.

[@sudhyadoor4637]

Super......

[@adamsobieski8470]

I've built mine out of an ironing board. It looks crap, but it works xD

[@NicklasToft]

cut off the plug and put the cable behind the pegboard and put a new plug on! Even better !

[@PrimalEdge]

Groovy

[@Ranger7Studios]

Scotch fasteners are better than Command Strips. They will hold a lot better, especially if you are hanging things. Plus, a roll of Scotch is cheaper then buying several packets of Command Strips.

[@nuthizo4578]

One day I will be like this guys 😂

[@agustinmunozrocha]

Finallyyy

[@VeranoDulce]

😵👍🌍

[@gregberzinski]

I'm waiting for someone to up the ante and create a wireless charge board. Electrical Engineers...ASSEMBLE.

[@StreetFoodTVCambodia]

I'm the first in comment section

[@Smack0r]

Thing is just: What are you going to do when you're on a longer trip and need all those chargers that are now zip tied and nailed and glued to the wall?

[@Kevin_Jerrell]

buy more chargers

[@Gavinnations]

I have second chargers specifically for travel. They only come with me then. The alternative is to Velcro mount the chargers to the board and buy more cables for each charger… a cheaper alternative Forsure just not as convenient

[@Sharethastory]

There’s probably a better way of doing this 🤣
