Caps, Cases, and Covers?

[Ben Hensley]

Hi guys,

So a friend of mine and I are working on an idea and I was kind of wanting to gauge interest a little. The thought was, there aren't any good cases for individual mini mags and so we got to work. We have some prototypes done but I wanted to see if there was much interest? We currently have in the works. An individual case for mini mags, a small flexible cap for minimags just to keep the junk out, mount back caps for different lens mounts, port caps for the camera body and a few other things.

Is this something that you think you'd purchase?

Please let me know what you guys think or what you feel would be nice to have!

Thanks for your time.

I'd love to see pictures of the prototypes!

I'd be very interested in a more elegant solution to carrying mini mags than the tiny pelican I have.

 

[Bob Gundu]

The Think Tank battery holders work great for mini mags.

 

[Pete Horvath]

Would be interested in caps and covers for unused BNC connectors, HDMI ports and/or pogo connectors etc.

 

[Josh Birch]

Something to cover the secondary LCD/EFV port would be ideal!

 

[Ben Hensley]

Awesome! I'll post some pictures up tomorrow of what we've done so far! We are working on an IO port cover, that ones probably been the trickiest so far. But we do have something for the side port on the camera and a few other pieces!

Pete - if you want to cover unused BNC ports, just use this size of vinyl cap cover from McMaster-Carr. A pack of 100 will cost you $4.30. I use them regularly and, if they get lost on set, it costs practically nothing to pop another on.

Here are some of the things we've made so far. The colors can be changed to many different options as it's TPU which means it's also flexible.

IO port caps

Side or top EVF cap

Mount Cover

Mag cap

Lemo adaptor Cap

NIce work Ben! I would be interested in some of these depending on prices.

 

[Mario Gonsalves]
