HUGE REQUEST 4 more CASES...!!

[Ketch Rossi]

Okay,

I love to have all my gear securely placed in each of their cases, even so most of the time I travel with all the gear placed in Back Packs to reduce Volume and weight.

However, I have come to truly LOVE, all the Pelicases customized for/by RED, and have them all, what is the PROBLEM??


WE NEED MORE!!

We hope to have one case per each of the Modules, each of the Mounts, SINGLE SSD case, for the LCD, well, literally one case per each single item made, as it is IMO the best way to protect the gear while traveling, especially when near water, dust, Rainy places etc.


SO PLEASE RED, make them ALL!!!

 

[Maik Müller]

I agree, the cases are cool and it would be great to have them for everything.
I wonder if red could make some modular inserts for them, so that everyone can "configure" their own cases.

Perhaps I am missing how traveling with everything in individual cases, having to tend to a dozen or so small cases at baggage claims is more efficient than traveling with everything secured efficiently in one case?

Because if you have traveled as much as I do with the amount of gear as I do, and in the places that I go to, then you'll understand that it is actually much better and safer for the gear to be in their individual cases, especially when they are Water proof.

Then putting them inside a larger Case/Bag becomes much easier and faster, and you don't ruin your gear so fast either.

 

[Heath Saunders]

That would be awesome for travel. I also like the idea of the inserts so you could custom configure your own. Count me in for either!

Having broken down gear during a horrible rain storm in the jungle. Having 1 case for everything is actually much easier for me. Having 14 little cases to worry about vs 2 big ones is ideal.

Why not just get custom cases from Pelican? I have a Pelican customized by Studio Cruzer that holds all my scarlet gear and a laptop. in a 1510 case.

If anything, RED could offer pre-cut foam for Pelicases, Storm and Nuuk cases. All of those are readily available all over the globe and shipping foam would be pretty cheap. We're all different and I'd rather have the foam for my cases made especially for my gear.

I have tried that Zac, at one point I had 48 cases in all, problem is, as you and all of us know, that once you have reached a point were you finally have a good amount of gear to tackle just about any job, it does nt mena that you need nor that you can take it all with you at every job.

And even when you do, it is a pain to have to carry all those big cases just to use one or two things out of each.

Instead having every single item in its own case, it is a better protection and not only from the elements but also form scratches etc.


When I need something I know exactly were it is, I just open the large case and extract the small individual cases and put together my set up, and the gear will last much longer, also when shooting outdoor under the exposure of the elements if the gear I don't use stays always cover and protected the better.

Of course in the case that a Bag or case is dropped, if the items are individually placed in protective cases then the damage would be most likely avoided.

I see endless situations were having all your gear packed individually in water proof cases be a HUGE PLUS, including the fact that your gear will remain looking like knew for longer and also functioning better for longer time, which if you are like me and always buy the latest and sale the one replaced as soon as the new comes out, then you want your gear to always remain as new, and individually packed items will also help you do that.

what is the PROBLEM??

I don't need more SINGLE cases, I have too many as it is. So many small cases, walking back and forth on setup, it's too easy for something to fall of the truck.

What I need is larger cases with multiple pieces of gear that can be carry on luggage. I'm in the process of designing a few cases but each case is custom to individual needs / choices.

Ketch, I'd be glad to give you my extra single cases.

 

[Sven Seynaeve]

I just want 1 case , that fits , epic with sh attached, lcd still attached, quad module still attached , and lens still attached. speeding up travelling from place to place.

quad charger and 4x ssd should fit in it as well, reader also

I have them all Will, I need them for the other pieces for which RED has not made them yet.

I still pack them all inside a larger Storm case, or large bag or back packs, but I find them infinitely useful and much better then having al the gear inside foam fitted large cases, as my set up change continuously, and it is not a good idea ot have to carry all of it all the time when you know exactly what you need.

Any ways, of course each needs differ, but for me and I know a huge bunch of others single cases are the answer to keep the gear pristine and safe, while traveling with a piece of mind, amongst all other benefits listed on my previous posts.

 

[Will Keir]

What RED could do is make the pre-cut foam designs for each module available online so we can custom the cases to the exact spec. Then we could use 3-4 module designs in one case to maximize transport efficiency, all nice and safe in a hard case.

I may not have globe trotted on a world tour to shoot Epic tests but I have traveled some nonetheless, and if I ever had to choose between taking my camera package (or any camera package) in a self contained case, having everything I need readily accessible or breaking it down into numerous tiny little cases...I'd choose the former but different stokes for different folks...

It would be interesting if rental houses started doing that... So when your done prepping everything from the camera gets put into a dozen little cases as opposed to one camera package case.

 

[Andy Jarosz]

Okay,

SINGLE SSD case

Bam!

 

[Trevor Meeks]

Have custom foam cut. Problem solved.

 

[Alex Kornreich]

I find myself looking to consolidate into less cases, not more.
