[QUOTE="PapaST, post: 418474, member: 8330"] It's been a long time since I visited this issue so perhaps there have been some decent advancements. Off the top of my head you can do something like a Solio Solar charger. That uses the sun to charge an onboard battery pack (not so great in mAh). You would then plug your device whether it be phone or camera into its USB port to start pulling a charge. Another thing I've used is an iGo AA charger. That takes 2 AA batteries and with a specific tip you plug that device straight into your device that you need charged. Lastly, I've used Brunton Solar charger that will charge up AA batteries for you and you could conceivably use those in a camera grip. I think they have newer models that charge itself and you can plug a USB into it for charging. Like I said, it's been a long time since I've used one so hopefully the tech has gotten much better and with more capacity. Of the 3, the iGo was the smallest but did not have a renewable source. You drained your AA batteries to charge what you wanted. I hope that helps. edit: Just looking into them, I don't think they even have the iGo that I spoke of. The company is still around with options but not the one I mentioned. Sorry [/QUOTE]
