Best travel options for charging everything

[E-diver]

Howdy folks,

My wife (to be) and I have a couple liveaboard trips scheduled for this year and I have a question regarding power strips/surge protectors. These will be my first trips with the new camera/housing and I'll need to charge camera batteries, AA eneloops for strobes, video/focus light, and ipad. Most likely on a constant basis. I don't want to worry about not finding enough outlets so figure I need to take a powerstrip/surge protector.

I have an excellent mini surge protector from belkin but it's only rate for 120 and pretty much everywhere we're going is 220-240. All my chargers are dual phase so they shouldn't be an issue but I need something to power them all. Anyone have experience with a good travel friendly multi-outlet surge protector (preferred) or powerstrip?

Thanks,
-E

I'm seeing this one: Dual-Voltage Power Strip – EA104 | Magellan's Travel Supplies

No personal experience with it though. I've used an adaptor into a mini strip before without a problem.

Best is to take a small 240-120 power adapter and a powerstrip. You can get really small ones pretty cheap, weigh about 5lbs though.
