Where to store all the filmmaking gear in a small space? I wish I'd known about this one I've been using for a few months, it's been perfect for my small office space!
When I bought the rolling cart from Home Depot it was about $130. The price online now might be different, but hopefully you can snag a similar deal!

@FellowFilmmaker 2 года назад

@brettsmithphotography2463 2 года назад

@AskJoe 2 года назад

What a great idea! I'm a tool junkie so I have one like that in my garage, but never thought about using one for my studio gear... and YES. I'm a "Box Junkie" too. Not sure why, but I have the boxes for most of my gear, which means I need places for the boxes too. :)

@jer3006 2 года назад

Yes, Heather, well done b/c the price is right too; it is now on my To-Buy List. You may recall helping me out with my questions RE, as a hobby photographer, how to become a hobby video maker, and I'm inching along in that regard, thank you very kindly. Hopefully, that might somehow be the subject of your yet-to-be-identified next course. (?) Sorry, 2 more comments coming... Box savers -I'm the king of- and I also save all my Amazon boxes by flattening them: You never know when someone will need one. Now, product boxes I HAVE TO save b/c I make so many photo-gear purchasing mistakes I know I'm going to have to return it, or sell it and try again. 🤪See, there ARE excellent reasons for box saving! Next... This week I happened accidently onto G.U.'s "Camera Gear Used by RU-vidrs" video from 2021 and recognized the "Fellow Filmmaker" logo among the list. This following several weeks of analyzing your gear and trying to apply it to creating a system for untrained me, a PC guy. (BTW, I'm thinking your advice to consider D.Resolve is excellent.) Anyway, the strange point of this comment is the ridiculous sense of pride I felt in seeing you as a member of the Undone select group, knowing I had only just located and subscribed to your channel 2 weeks earlier. Cue music from The Twilight Zone. 😊 Update: Oops! Just checked your link below to Amazon and the cheapest is $319, not $130. There is one seller for $275 but you have to add $40 for shipping. Something is a-tilt. Home Depot shows it for $129.

@FellowFilmmaker 2 года назад

Happy to hear this helped you find a good fit for your to-buy list! :D It's true, a good box can do alot of thing! I keep a few incase I need to ship anything oddly shaped. And yes, it was fun to be a part of Gerald's video :D And yes, you can find it on Home Depot cheaper, it's where I did end up getting it. Amazon is not the affordable option it would seem right now for it. :) Hope you can grab one soon!

@WouterWeggelaar 2 года назад

I'm doing the same thing with a second hand tool cart. however, mine is even smaller and arguably too small. I also have some big drainage pipes I can clip to the side in upright position to stick tripods in. I definitely re use boxes and things like ziplocks, but I don't hoard them. I toss all boxes that aren't a nice compact size to keep stuff in. Mobile phone boxes are usually great too!

@FellowFilmmaker 2 года назад

Nice! Smart idea with the pipes. I reuse alot of mine, but end up "hoarding" a few because I'm anticipating needing them :D

Great tip. Thought about one, but I've got a closet with shelves, so don't need extra storage out in the office. (Plus I'm always trying to purge and stay semi-minimal lol) I am a big fan of Husky workbenches. I've been using a 6 foot stationary and a 52" wheeled hand-crank height adjustable bench for my edit/workstation. Bought another 6 foot to replace the stand-up desk, which I'll turn into an art table/product/camera setup station instead. It's amazing what you can find searching through a Home Depot/Lowe's/Harbor Freight store. And yeah, I hoard all the boxes also - just for resale down the road. :-)

Heather, On the topic of toolboxes. I bought a Godox 60 light which did not have a case. I bought a "Husky 26 in. Plastic Portable Tool Box with Metal Latch" for $26 at home depot. Currently I am wrapping the light in bubble wrap. I really should make a foam insert but it works. I can put the light, reflector, small softbox and two VILTROX L116T lights in it. All for $26.

@FellowFilmmaker 2 года назад

I keep sturdy small and medium boxes to help me organize things. I have two big boxes I toss them into on a high shelf. A lot of times the box a device comes in is either too big or not big enough to contain the device and the other accessories I want to keep with it. Then I will check my box stash. Great video, keep up the good work.

@FellowFilmmaker 2 года назад

@robertharker 2 года назад

@@FellowFilmmaker They do. That is why I keep them in a large box on the top shelf. I am also somewhat selective choosing boxes that fit with my storage solution which are RIDGID rollaboard toolbox stacks and shelving.

@mfluder15 2 года назад

I’ve been meaning to ask you about your tool box after seeing it in a few videos. An excellent idea. Husky boxes are well made and that’s a good size for an apartment. My first roller box was the same size. After 34 years, I still use it. I currently don’t have a organization solution since my wife won’t let me bring a tool box inside the house. Lol. And yes I horde small boxes. Idk why.

@FellowFilmmaker 2 года назад

Roller cart is great for sure, maybe one day she'll let you have it inside :) I don't think anyone can boil down the real reason we stash boxes. Maybe cuz it's hard to find a box for gear when you need one if you didn't hoard them :)

This is great! Now for the next topic, cable storage. I have hangers and drawers of cables and they always tangle and mix due to me being inherently chaotic. Tried color coding but that turned out to be surprisingly ineffective. I used to be a box hoarder too. You never know when you need to send/store/sell something, right? Plus it gives you a nice overview of all the gear you collected. I stopped doing it as I was running out of space. Now I save boxes until the end of the year, use them to wrap Christmas presents, and then take them out for recycling.

@FellowFilmmaker 2 года назад

That's a good idea, for wrapping :) I've used my gear boxes for all sorts of things. Storage, gifts, etc.

I went with the Milwaukee Packout system. Similar idea but a lot more portable. It's modular too. So I build up 2 boxes with Tungsten lights, 2 with LEDs, one 2-drawer system with audio gear, one with diffusion and bounce, etc. And every module gets labeled. When I need to go on a job, I load the modules I need in the car and roll out. I don't have to go looking for my gear, and I don't have to do any packing. Everything stays ready to go all the time. (And yes I keep my boxes for resale. Or so I tell myself.)

@FellowFilmmaker 2 года назад

I love that! I'll certainly have to get into that more, the modular system. :D I love good organization, but somehow it struggles to stay that way in a small space.

@PerroneFord 2 года назад

@@FellowFilmmaker Additionally, If you put the larger wheeled case on the bottom you can roll it anywhere, grass, carpet, etc. They also interlock so when you stack them they lock together. Even if it takes a tumble they don't come apart. Look at their small organizers for small parts. Fantastic for small grip stuff, tape, fasteners, etc. You can turn it upside down and shake it, and everything stays in place. Whole system IP 65 rated so you can leave it out in the rain if necessary. Best of luck, and love your channel!

@northcoaststudios 2 года назад

Nice! I was looking for something like this, but slightly smaller in over-all bulk, and something I can lift in and out of my car because on-location use is a more common situation for me than in-studio. I got a used (Habitat for Humanity RESTORE) stackable set of toolboxes that have a handle and a couple wheels that can be pulled around like luggage. It's pretty much what I need but I immediately maxed out its capacity. Something like this Husky box may be more the size I need. How do you get it in and out of your vehicle? I don't have an SUV, so being able to manually lift it in and out of my hatchback was a consideration. That is a great sized unit, storage volume-wise.

@FellowFilmmaker 2 года назад

I haven't really put it in and out of a vehicle since buying it, since its an office piece. But, if I recall, transporting it I laid it down on its back in the back of an SUV.

True, it's not, it's mostly in our heads I think. For me the only value of keeping a box, is the shipping box because some items are so custom fit

Im actually looking at thus exact Husky Cart you have for storing my camera gear. Do you happen to know the internal dimensions of the deeper drawers as I can only find the external dimensions everywhere because everywhere Ive gone there have been none in stock / shop model to measure, Thanks :D

@FellowFilmmaker 11 месяцев назад

Sure. Deeper ones are 6 inches internally depth

@craigoxley5475 11 месяцев назад

Home Depot sells Husky, but as of 2/24/2022, Lowe's has a Craftsman equivalent for roughly the same price. Also, yes, I hoard random boxes with no legitimate reason for doing so 😂

@FellowFilmmaker 2 года назад

That's great! :D I did see alot of variations when I was looking, I liked this one for the amount and depth of the drawers :)

@PhotographybySatesh 2 года назад

I’m a box hoarder too. But I only keep the boxes my lenses and cameras came in so I can sell them at some point. It doesn’t add value but to me it does lol. We are all neurotic I guess.

@drportland8823 2 года назад

I bought one of these, pre-assembled. It took me an hour to get it into my car--I had to take the wheels and handles off. Fortunately, I was right outside a home depot, a great source of wrenches and screwdrivers. Please note that the manual inside the tool cart contains incorrect size information for the bolts connecting things together. That was really annoying, and doubled the back and forth trips into the store.

@FellowFilmmaker 2 года назад

That sounds a bit annoying, sorry you had that experience

@drportland8823 2 года назад

@@FellowFilmmaker I didn't mean to sound that negative :-). More of a learning experience. It was still definitely worth the money invested. And mine was on sale for $109 when I bought it, so even with the extra tool purchases I technically got a better deal than you listed. Assuming I count my time at $7.50 per hour or less, anyway. HarborFreight is another place to look for tool carts. They are always running 20% or 25% off a single item coupons, which can bring things down further. They don't have anything that quite matches the husky cart deal, though.

Thanks for you video. Great tips. Unfortunately I think your video made the price go up. Your Amazon links cheapest price is now $275+tax & $41shipping. Box hoarder here. All the gear I've bought online over the past 3-4 years. Always think about getting rid of them but haven't yet.
