There is reasonable variety of Waeco invertors at OW; from 150W (R599), 350W (R750), 550W (R950) etc I think the full Waeco range is from 100w to 2000w.

I don't have specific knowledge of the WAECO inverters, but can confirm that for charging camera batteries and operating a laptop, you do not need more than 350W.
I have a cheapie which has been working well for a couple of years now. You should be able to get away with paying in the region of R1/W?
