Charging cameras in the field?

[rgrebby]

Can anyone recommend something to charge my 5dmk2, gopro and canon handycam via solar power. Maybe even my laptop if thats possible? Oh and my iphone.

Not at the same time but a trickle charge over the day or something would be good.

I'd be interested in the same - something I can leave on the dash of my car or something to charge up batteries. Got several multi day events this summer with no access to power.

So you would like to use solar power to charge
Spare batteries would be my choice or one of those power inverters for your car.

First - you will need some sun (?)....

I don't know if they work with cameras, but I think Maplin do some solar power recharger

Not sure on the rules, so won't post a link, but do a search for voltaic systems solar camera charger. It might do the job, I just googled it out of interest.
cheers

Haven't looked into it in detail but I have briefly considered getting a solar backpack http://www.voltaicsystems.com/

For anything usb related, I use a 50,000mah power bank. Several on Amazon.

Not sure it'll charge the 5D3 battery though...
