I'm using some galvanized steel pegboard panels from Wallcontrol to help organize my camera gear. It also doubles as a charging station and organize my other tech. This really helped me to create a more efficient and productive workspace, not to mention a much more organized home office.

TOOLS
step 1: pegboard + accessories
So I've been using Wallcontrol panels for years to hang my tools. Including all of my clamps, which weighs a lot. So obviously, when it came time to build this wall charging station, I also used pegboards from Wallcontrol. The only difference with these are the finish, which is a matte finish that I think looks much better in my office.
Besides these panels, I also got some accessories from Wallcontrol, as well as ones from Amazon to hang my tech, and get the wires organized.
step 2: layout
I started by laying out the chargers I wanted to have mounted on the panel. To prevent the wires from sticking out on the side and become a mess, I used some wire management clips to pull the wires tighter around the corner as it goes around to the back. There will be a few USB-C cables that will come out from the back. To help guide and hide the cables better, I used Wallcontrol's accessory bracket, which also worked really well as a place to clip my microphones to.
Once everything is laid out, I used Command Strips to attach the chargers to the panel. And I mounted two power strips on the back of the panel with zip ties.
step 3: installation
I couldn't directly mount the panels to the wall because of the power strips in the back. So I used some scrap lumber to make cleats. First I leveled the cleats and laid out where I wanted it to be, and then I drew a line to indicate the centerline where I need to drill the screws. Next, I attached drywall anchors in locations where I did not have a stud.
Once all the cleats are in place, I screwed the panels directly to the cleats.
Lastly, add all the accessories on to the panel to finish the setup.
