I went even more low tech this last time and just bent the branches over a paper plate and shook them a bit, then cut that branch off, turned it upside down and shook some more... all of this of course in another room, mostly in a small tent and with all fans in the house off.
Then it was easy to scrape the powder into a pile using a credit card and a spoon to scoop it up into a plastic pill bottle. I have a bunch of collected pill bottle desiccant packs, so I threw one of those in there to keep it dry till I need it, and put it in the fridge. Typically when I apply it I will mix it 50:50 with some white flour first. This helps the fine powder adhere and stay where I want it, and I use a medium sized oil paint brush to apply it to the buds that I want to pollinate.

I used a trimbin. Kinda nice because it separates all the sacs for you.
As noted store in a cool dry place away from the light.
