Geek Stuff Part II

8) 1 - Panasonic Lens Adapter and lens hood, 1 - Canon Lens Adapter, Bunch of Filters which works with both adapters (UV, Polarizer, Radial)

9) His and Hers Binoculars
We've heard through reading a lot of reviews that it makes sense to bring a set of Binoculars for each person, not one wants to miss a Rhino giving birth or a Giraffe pooping you know.. + we share everything, but electronics, no scientific reason has been able to explain this

10) 2 - AC 120V - 240V to 12V DC AC to Car lighter adapters
Basically converts a wall socket into something you can attach a car adapter too. The charger for the Battery pack(18), the ImageTank OTG (12), Panasonic battery Charger (16), Flashtrax (11) all can be charged through their respective adapters though this

11) FlashTrax
40GB Image storage system, with LCD Viewer. Also an MP3 player, runs of Linux. Basically you put in a compact flash card (use adapters for SD (24) (17) ) and it copies the contents onto the internal drive.

12) Image Tank OTG
40gb Image storage. It has USB OTG "On The Go" technology too, which means it will take anything connected through it's USB port and copy it to the internal drive, this includes External HardDrives, Camera's etc... It also has the CF to HD capability as the FlashTrax

13) Compact Battery Charger + Battery pouch
Can charge 4 batteries at a time AA or AAA

14)Mini Tripod
Cause you know I have shaky hands! Fits both Camera's

15) 12 V DC Car adapter -> 9V DC charger
Works on the Portable battery Pack (16) and The Image Tank OTG (12)

16) Universal Battery Pack
My Favourite thing on the whole list. This thing has adjustable output voltage (7.2, 6, 5, 4, 3) and has many adapters on it. It can
Recharge/Run the iPods, using item (23)
Recharge/Run the Image Tank (12)
Recharge/Run the Flashtrax (11)
Recharge/Run both Camera's (1,2)
Run the iPod Mini Speakers (3)
Run the 5 LED head light (22)

Can be charged via wall outlet or Car charger....rrrrrroooooooowwww..ok I need to go shower...

17) SD, Memory stick, CFII, MMC, SM -> CF Type I converter
For the Flashtrax (11) and ImageTank(12). Also, it allows us to use the Secure Digital cards we have for the Panasonic with the Canon

18) Panasonic Battery Chargers & Batteries
2 Chargers (1 works with car adapter and wall(
3 batteries

19) 2 Universal world Travel Adapters
The Swiss army knife of Travel adapters. Converts all wall sockets to North America plug style

20) Various USB cables for all devices

21) Screen Wipes

22) 5 LED lamp
We had bought a cheapo spare LED headlamp...well..that broke..cheapo and all. SO I soldered a DC adapter so we could use the Universal Battery Pack (16), consider it a spare flashlight

23) Ghetto USB Chargers
I made these using some help from hackaday.com Basically I can charge any USB chargeable device with a 9volt battery so that means
Recharge/Run the iPods, using item (23)
Recharge/Run the Image Tank (12)
Recharge/Run the Flashtrax (11)
Recharge/Run both Camera's (1,2)
Run the iPod Mini Speakers (3)
Run the 5 LED head light (22)

yah kinda like a USB battery pack. Also created a way to use the Universal Battery Pack to charge USB devices.

I think that's it!!!! So yah, a lot of redundancy built in. Other than the time and the memories, the pictures are going to be the next most important thing, and we want to make sure nothing happens to them..I'm knocking on wood as we speak. Don't ask me how we're going to pack this stuff yet.

We'll get a trial run during the wedding to test this stuff out. Any Questions?
