I've recently discovered a couple of other uses for charity bands, and it occurred to me maybe other people had uses of other non-photographic items that might be worth sharing.
I've used a charity band on my flash to attach modifiers (home made stofen, or a bounce card/roguebender copy). I've also used one on my Olympus 40-150mm lens. It covers the lugs when I've removed the tripod collar and is an alternative to the £20 decorative cover. It also feels nice and grippy. It occurred to me these bands might also be useful for unscrewing a stuck filter.
I read on here about being able to use a milk carton to create a stofen for my flash which I did recently having lost mine. Admittedly its not terribly robust, but it stays on.
Anyone else have anything useful to share?
