Fight the clutter with new Think Tank Photo accessories

posted Friday, April 6, 2012 at 10:55 AM EDT

Tired of hunting through your camera bag for where you put the spare camera batteries? Pockets full of flash cards? Does the lost socks fairy seem to have branched out into abducting strobe gels as well? If so, the folks at Think Tank Photo have a new line of products aimed at helping you reduce your photo gear clutter.

The DSLR Battery Holder 2 and DSLR Battery Holder 4 both compress flat for storage, have velcro closures, and can accept either a pair or quartet of typical SLR lithium-ion battery packs. Both sizes weigh significantly less than an ounce, so they won't add much to your load.

The SD Pixel Pocket Rocket, meanwhile, is a little over an ounce, and can carry nine Secure Digital cards in clear pockets, for easy identification. It also includes a business card slot, and has a clip tether so you don't accidentally lose all those valuable flash cards; just attach it to your camera bag or a belt loop.

Finally, the Strobe Gel Wallet has a similar folding, velcro-closed design, but with five pockets designed for Rosco Strobist filter gels. Again, there's a business card slot, and a clip tether.
