Do you LOVE cables? Here’s a simple and free DIY solution.

One of the few things I don’t love about Fuji’s X100S is the 4 foot cable to charge its tiny battery. It is long, bulky and honestly, in 2014, unnecessary. I’ve shared before some of my packing tips, especially when carrying a ton of video gear. I like to travel LIGHT, which is why I got the X100S.

If you are an Apple user you have some extra AC plugs on every drawer. So, here’s my DIY, free solution, not only for Fuji’s charger but really any device that takes a bulky AC cable.

Done and done. As I also mentioned on the Fuji X100S review, I strongly recommend getting a couple of extra batteries. Here’s the best deal I have found so far.

I just got (literally an hour ago) this “Ultra-Compact Portable Charger Lipstick-Sized External Battery Power Bank” so hopefully my phone will last a full day.

Happy charging!
