Over the next few months i'll be preparing the truck for a new series we're working on. One of the biggest pain points we have is not having a dedicated spot to charge all of our gear while we're driving so I decided to build a camera charge station inside the console of my F-150 Wayne.

Having the same truck with the black wheels, these types of car washes destroyed my black wheels. They left crazy swirls and scratches all over them. Love the video and the new setup in the center console!

I need to do this for the F150 now!! I would definitely suggest picking up an little ozone for the for your vehicle, I do construction as well and once those tool & supplies sit in the back, nothing will get rid of the smell like a an hour with ozone machine.

@altArchitecture 3 ай бұрын

I love this idea. I think the best method would be to have a bag/box that is permanently plugged in that you can easily pull out of there. It would be tethered by its power cord. That way you can access it easier if you're not sitting in the truck (possibly leaning in from outside because you forgot a batt or cord). Also, you wouldn't have to worry about adhesives. Especially because if you constantly plug and unplug things in that tight space you're bound to knock it loose over time, whereas a compact plugged-in bag or box can just be shifted around like everything else. Lastly, you can simply unplug the bag and have all your stuff on the go. BUT yours looks better for sure lol

If the command hooks don't stick, try cleaning the area with rubbing alcohol first! This video has given me great ideas for my truck, I think I will do the same...Thanks 😊

Look into using the 3M Dual Lock instead of regular velcro. It's the same stuff that they use to mount EZ-Pass tags. Much stronger.

Nice ideas. I too had the same problem with charging all kinds of batteries. I'm using a Satechi 165W GaN Charger 4x USB-C ports - PD which can supply power for my Macbook, I also can charge my DJI drone batteries and Osmo 3 batteries. For my Sony batteries I use the Tri-charge from Jupio. When needed there is also a six port GaN Charger with 6 x USB-C ports. So you can add a GoPro and iPhone to charge. Works great!

My experience with adhesive Velcro in our truck is that the adhesive becomes useless in the summer heat. Makes sense when you think of the fact that a heat gun is used to remove adhesive. So the heat build up in the truck during summer makes the adhesive no longer stick to anything.

Does it not get hot af in your cars in the summer where you live? Because all of that velcro glue would just melt in my car in the summer where I live. I try to avoid keeping batteries in my car in the summer too. It can get up to 140f inside my car when it's parked on a hot day.

Regarding the "Aftermarket chargers": I did not own any Promaster - but other cheaper brands. And I ditched all of them as they only have the 2 pins instead of 3 for the battery contacts! I am not really 100% sure if the Sony charger utilizes the "Control pin" (center pin) but I would assume it does. The aftermarket chargers started to get wonky after quite some time and I could see a tiny bit of molten plastic on the pins which indicates that the chargers got quite warm. I ditched all of them as I would completely wipe my warranty with my batteries or my camera if there was an issue with the batteries. Just a heads up and a thought to you.
