EDC Modular Keychain

The Problem: Carrying photographic accessories—like filters, batteries, and film canisters—along with everyday items such as keys, an AirTag, band-aids, lipstick, and painkillers—without hassle.

The Solution: A lightweight, modular system that attaches to my pants near my left pocket.

The whole setup is simple, accessible, and impossible to leave behind. It clips to my belt or waistband, with a zipper facing right for quick access. On bright winter Tokyo days, I add a slim Weekend(er) pouch for filters. The entire system is titanium and Dyneema to keep the weight minimal, ensuring it doesn’t tug on my trousers. A magnetic snap-lock lets me use my keys without removing the setup and ensures my YubiKey doesn’t bear the load when plugged into my computer.
