I use a P45+ and H2. Sometimes I want to treat it like a G10. Sometimes I just want to travel with it, light and easy. I want to devise a very small, compact way to have an H2 Grip Charger, and a PhaseOne battery charger, taped together, so that, in the hotel room, only one small extension cord can be run to an (unfindable) outlet in the room at night, for recharging. The H charger and Phase charger both have those "brick" devices that plug into the wall. I wish there was also a very compact Phase charger that would charge only one batter instead of two, but the overall charger size be very small and light. I guess I'm going to get a six foot extension cord, cut it down to maybe two feet, plug both bricks into either side of the extension cord, and then run tape around them, so that it all becomes of ugly piece of charging power. Anyone else come up with better, more elegant solution for travel?
I also have an issue with P45+, where, if I charge a Phase battery, and shoot a few frames, but leave the battery installed in the back, if I come back later, the battery is usually completely dead. It's like something is sucking from the battery even when it's turned off. Makes for general Battery Paranoia; always freaked about removing battery from back. Always fear -- Will I have power when I need it. Anyone else have battery drain issues like that? Almost want to stick velcro over the LCD and then velcro the battery to the LCD back when not in use, (since the LCD is useless anyway). Sorry, had to get in one more dig about the LCD quality.
I am determined to design a bag to make traveling with an H2 and two lenses as easy as traveling with a G10.
