What do you keep your bits in?

No, not those bits...

The more I get into photography, the more I find there are nuisance little pieces floating around my camera bag which I really feel deserve a more appropriate home. Things like cleaning cloths, swabs and cleaning lotions, eyepiece covers, welding glass, various filters, adapter rings and such.

What do you all use to contain these pieces? I don't like having them bopping about in my bag but can't think of a way to keep them all in their place. :thumbsdown:
 
Well, if you have the Lowepro Fastpack 200, like I have, there's lots of little pockets etc to put them in! If you still have stuff knocking about, you have too much stuff!!! :D
 
All my bits and pieces just end up in the "packed lunch" compartment in my KT-467.

Loads of batteries and chargers and cleaning stuff and leads and lens caps and...........

.........strangely enough my marriage certificate!!:thinking:
 
The top compartment of my Lowepro Slingshot 200AW is plenty roomy and suffices for my charger, card reader, batteries, cloths, battery covers and testicles. A bloody good design the Slingshot series, if I may say; great if, like me, you ride a bicycle/motorbike, and want to carry your kit, but don't want to have to remove your bag every time you want to stop to use your camera.

:plusone: .. I have a number of these at various sized, which I bought from WHS .. they're perfect for storing all my odd little bits & pieces.

WTF is THAT doing in there :lol: :cuckoo:
 
The boxes that business cards come in
 
I've been looking at those cases which hold SD cards in - 7dayshop do a £4 one and Lowepro do a £8 one. However, I was hoping they'd be able to hold 4 SD cards and then have space for a spare camera battery or the SD card reader - anyone know of any which fit the bill? That'll get rid of a few of my loose bits in one fell swoop!

Only this one will hold anything more than the cards. Won't hold a reader though unless it,s the very, very compact one!

It's just a USB stick-size. I suspect it'd probably fit in the opening above the SD cards on the left side of the picture. Will probably order one as I'm needing some batteries from 7dayshop anyway - for £3.50, it's worth a punt!

I think I prefer the Lowepro Pixel Back V1 for holding SD cards though - it looks a slightly more hardy and secure storage solution.
 
Most of the odds'n'sods slip into nooks and crannies in the kit bag. Other stuff (sensor cleaning kit, sparespare cards, spare cleaning stuff etc) lives in a box in a cupboard unless it's been tidied away!

While in the bag, spare cards are kept in 7day's aluminium cases - label up for empty, down for full; batteries and remotes slip into small spaces between lenses; filters, cloths etc go in the clear pockets on the inside, as does a compass, level, hand glass (x5 magnifier) and some other stuff. A torch, a lenspen and other fairly robust stuff gets put in the outside pocket, along with the manual for the camera.


ETA... The bag is a LowePro MiniTrekker
