Found that this small Altoids tin would hold two stacks of SD Memory Cards for our digital cameras. After a few minutes of hearing them rattle around loose I started thinking about how to keep the two stacks seperate.
I ended up using a folded up standard size business card
A Cheap, Easy and Useful project, no tools needed
We are now using / testing a Polaroid i737 handheld camera. It is a 7.0 megapixel with a 2.5 inch color LCD for menu and reviewing photos. The Polaroid i737 has 3x optical zoom and 4x digital zoom. New features for us are Anti-shake image stabilization and Face tracking, we will see how these work. The Polaroid i737 features; video clips with audio, Audio tag lets you tag audio to any image, SD memory compatible, quick Off / auto / fill flash controls, Anti-shake image stabilization, Electronic self timer. So far the controls seem to work well and are easy to get to with one hand
We climbed A mountain overlooking Tucson, Arizona and took a few photos looking east over downtown Tucson, AZ. Sentinel Peak is 2,897 feet in altitude. The large letter A was built by the UofA in 1916 and is 160 feet tall and 70 feet wide. The mountain is a Park now and has a paved road that offers access to the bottom of the A.
There is room for a few cars to park at the base of the "A" and there are two markers to describe the location and its history. One is written in English, one in Spanish. The markers read "Below this 2900 - foot peak, the Santa Cruz valley was farmed by the Hohokam Indians as early as 800 AD. When the Spainards arrived in the 17th century, the Hohokam had vanished and settlements of Piman people dotted the valley. One called "Schuk-schon" meaning "At the foot of the Black mountain" was pronounced Tucson by the Spainards. The hill was a lookout for these early Indian and Spanish settlers who lived in fear of hostile raiders. The white washed stone "A" was constructed by University of Arizona students in 1915." ..full

I bought this battery holder at a gun show a few months back and it has proved to be a real convenience. It holds 12 AA batteries securely. Since the holder can accept the battery either end down, I can also use the Battery Caddy to keep track of used vs new batteries. The batteries are held tightly so they do not rattle or make any noise in the caddy. In order to find the battery caddy in the pockets or pouches we keep it in, I added a 550 cord lanyard with a LED light. This simple modification makes the battery holder easy to find and easy to grab. Eventually I found this Uncle Mikes double magazine pouch which fits the Battery Caddy as if it was made for it

We have used bulk Alkaline batteries for many years now. They are fairly inexpensive and seem to work well in my digital cameras which are the largest user of AA batteries used by us daily. We take photographs for a living so we use our digital cameras every day and go through about a battery a day each month. Alkaline AA batteries cost us about $10 for 24 (More or less depending on Sales, where we buy, etc) this is about 42 cents each or about $15 a month.
So I decided to give them a real test. I went to the store and bought the bulk AA batteries I typically use and a pack of eight AA Energizer Ultimate Lithium. The alkaline cost $10 for 24 this is about 42 cents each, the lithium cost $19 for 8 which is $2.37 each quite a difference. The test will be how long the lithium last compared to the bulk alkaline. This will be a long term test, at least a month, or two. Stay tuned to see how this battery test turns out.
