How many of you are in this same situation. This is a table of various stuff related to the technology in my life. Motorized gimbals, non-motorized, battery chargers, cables, camera (one of 3 I own), various manuals (most of them lost by now since all are easily replaced online). This is not even all of it. I have multiple chargers by my bed to charge phones, ipads, readers, watch, overnite.

So, when am I to consider that I am overwhelmed by technology. When is enough? I don't want to have the most toys when I die, since I don't even want to die!

Sell here what you want to get rid of.

If you don't use it in a calendar year, it doesn't belong in your kit wasting space and / or losing potential resale value.

What, no wide brimmed hat with a solar powered fan? Or a waist belt thermos with a battery powered pump and long tube for hands free cold drinks?

I don't have a table big enough to hold everything.

I have those on order, but Amazon is slow this week.

What? Sell? would you sell your child? would you sell you wife? I don't think so. These are the things that make me happy, if only I could remember what they all go to...

Well, a rule I've followed "Never keep track of the financial cost of your vices." The same would apply to the photo obsession - I kept an envelope of receipts once...horrible! I also avoid getting all of my photo gear in one place. The time I did, the digital covered the dining room table with the film gear filling the breakfast bar.

GADZOOKS!

There is so much stuff I’m going to my Ophthalmologist because my eyesight is blurry. I’m okay with a Canon AE-1 and two tin cans and some string. However, I really don’t need a left handed hammer capable of screwing in Phillips Screws and cutting paper and clipping my toenails. You might want to itemize everything. Either give it away or sell it at a yard sale. I just tried to throw away an old TV Set. The Department of Sanitation wanted it to be properly gift wrapped, with my Dog’s license, my marriage certificate, my first born child’s pint of blood, a letter from the 32nd President (now deceased)and the original bill of sale and warranty info.

One caveat: Don’t wake up in the middle of the night. You might stub your toe and end up with an untimely demise from all those wires.

It's a new weekend. My dear sweet wife has just talked (and talked) to me of similar issues.
We have 3 TVs, a Roku box, a TWC DVR and a Roamio. EVERY single one has it's own separate incompatible remote. Some will cross- change the channel on this one and that one turns off. Or on.
I have 6 digital Nikons. Each has at least 2 batteries, a charger and a cable. Each has different batteries and chargers. It would have been nice (and cheap!) for Nikon to allow the cable to charge the battery in situ.
I had a slow cooker and a pressure cooker. Relative "borrowed" the pressure cooker, so I bought an Instant Pot. Relative "returned" with another slow cooker. Wife has a 2 quart "personal" one. All 4- under counters.
With the Vitamix (mine) and the Ninja blender (hers). The stick blender/mixer lives on the counter.
The toaster, the toaster oven, and the air popper are also down there, with the two mixers.
NOT mentioning all the film camera stuff, the half bedroom of computer stuff, and medical supplies.

Here’s a thought; box em up, send em to me, and be done with it!

There is only one camera with a single lens...
No flash...

You indeed have too much stuff.

I have three cameras DX and FX and about seven lenses all FX but one.*
I have four flashes.

A heavy tripod (studio stuff) and very little else.

* One is 600mm door stop...

Not sure whether this is bragging or complaining. Personally I own way, way more photography stuff than the OP mentioned and I see no reason to list any of it or complain about it. Just be happy with what you have and live your life as best you can.

So is the gallery if you think about it.
