Pelican Case Thread - The big storage thread!

[Troy Grundstad]

Hey Redusers!


So im sitting here thinking what the heck im going to do about storage and shipping solutions for my RED One MX, What i have in mind is a Big Pelican case for storing everything and long hauls, and a smaller one for more run and gun scenarios or just a light hike "as light as carrying a Red One will ever be "

But im sitting here googling and drooling over these Precut drop in foam pieces. Does anyone have any reccomendations as to how, where, and when to obtain these. I would like to design the storage cutouts myself for most efficient use for my setup. But im still lacking a CNC Router/Cutter so im left to outsource this part.

Feel free to share opinions, experiences and tips/tricks


Lets make this the "Big storage thread" where we can discuss various forms of transportation of cameras, long term storage and just neat solutions all together!

Pelican makes pick-n-pluck foam for most of their cases. They also make TrekPak dividers. B&H also sells something they call "A-MoDe Limited Divider Set".

I've made my own dividers several times to get a custom fit but I have shears/sheet metal brake and aluminum welding capability. If you can find a purchasable solution that works for you you will save a lot of time and effort by avoiding a custom solution.

I tried to add a photo of my in-truck case but I couldn't get it to attach.

If you were goooglin' did you not find the multiple places that will make the inserts for you?

Not sure I would bother though; I have several custom case inserts that are useless because needs / cameras / equipment etc changes. Then you have a rigid interior that no longer suits your needs.
