For Photographers: Think Tank Pixel Pocket Rocket Cf Card Wallet

For Photographers

October 1, 2013

After getting confused about which cards had been used and which were blank more times than I’d like to admit, I recently decided it was time to figure out a way to organize my CF cards. For the longest time I didn’t really want to get a card wallet. I had been keeping my cards in the front pockets of my Kelly Moore bag…one pocket held the used cards and one held the unused. Doing it this way was actually pretty fast, because literally all I had to do was reach inside of the pocket and grab a card. The problem with that was I would frequently forget which pocket was which…and I was never 100 percent sure which card had which part of the day on it without checking it in my camera. It wasn’t really efficient at all, especially when it came to needing one of the cards for a same day slideshow or to upload a sneak peek of portraits really quick on my way home! To solve my organizational problems I ended up ordering the Think Tank Pixel Pocket Rocket case, which seemed to fit my needs.

I’ve been using it since the beginning of the Fall season and I absolutely love it!! It works as it’s supposed to and it keeps me SO much more organized than I was before. Yes, it takes me more time to actually un-velcro the wallet and remove a card, but it does save time in the long run!  After I format all of the cards and get them ready to use prior to a wedding, I stick them into the card wallet. Once I’ve used a card, I flip it over and return it to it’s slot. When I get home and upload the images to my computer, I turn it on it’s side so that I know that card has been emptied and can be formatted when I’m ready.

The case has a clip, but I don’t really use it. I keep it inside of my bag.

    Love this! I just wish there was an alternative for the velcro in quiet moments!

  4. Natalie says:

    This is awesome! I’m currently using two hard cases, however – if I ever get new card wallets… This would be the one!

  5. Jen Jar says:

    I have the Pelican card case which I like because it’s a hard case, but it doesn’t hold as many cards as the Think Tank one does! I like your organization!

  6. Emilia Jane says:

    My friend Julia uses this and loves it too!

  7. I like it! Now if they only made makeup artist tools!

    Gura Gear has an alternative to velcro. It is great for occasions that demand quiet over ripping velcro. Check it out! I am a big TT fan, but love the GG memory card wallet.

    I also number all of my cards and try to use them in order. This has also helped if I notice a problem with a card- I can quickly remember the problem card and remove it from the bunch. I also use to date them with the year purchased, so I could keep track of how old they are. I’m a big fan of the wallet!

    girl! i was doing the SAME thing with my kelly moore bag. putting empty cards in one pocket and the used cards in the other pocket! i felt like it was a pretty good system too! but having the card holder makes me feel more organized now AND like i don’t have to worry about misplacing them! great review! 🙂
