  • Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

RED case design

design a backpack/carry-on version and i want one. my Red will never leave my sight during travel. and theres no way i'm putting something that nice looking underneath. if i didnt have one and i saw it coming around the carousel--whether i knew about Red or not--i'd be too tempted to just SNATCH it!
 
Very cool. How about a briefcase version?
 
Thanks for the nice words, guys.

The problem with finger print lock is:
1.) Homeland security may want to get into the case

Dual lock would take care of that. A standard one and additional fingerprint reader lock. When needed, just set to "standard lock only".

Depending on the model, with fingerprint locks you can save more users and have access control. And no, you don't have to worry about someone cutting your finger off because the sensor detects the skin temperature. This technology isn't SF any more.

The biggest problem I see with the design... The corners and the protruding pieces will catch or snag on just about anything.

Well, the shock absorbers are meant to move in and out. You could retract them to the body - I was under the impression I made that apparent. My bad.
 
Looks great! But does it have to look like a X-Box?
I agree with the other guys, it will get more attention than it should in public. But it's a very cool design and great 3D work with the renders.

I was just about to say that it looked like an XBox. So I looked through the whole thread. I was saying, looks like nobody said it. Then I saw your post which was the last one!
 
Probably best to reduce the size to carry on. My luck with checked equipment and TSA has not been good. After they damaged my equipment it took a congressman who intervened and about a year to get our money. They put the AC power block on top of the screen and closed the case with cords hanging out!
 
what do you know grandpa... what have you ever tooled ;)
I agree with the other guys.. make it into a soft case that can be used to carry the expensive bits.
 
Gotta agree with some of the other posters - it looks cool but it's WAY too much of a target for theft.

I'll be going with the ugliest (sturdy) case I can find. Most likely I'll get a new Pelican, bury it in the ground for a couple days, and then slap on some duck tape.
 
just thought of something.. buy the super rad red case that looks like griff tannens pitbull hoverboard case. and put fecal matter in it.. then with your pelican that actually claims fecal matter study put the camera in.. so you will have an awesome decoy.. someone will jack your griff tannen case thinking a shiny new red is inside.. and instead its a bag of asses.. you will get out alive with your red.
 
Seems like most people are thinking the design will decide the fate of the case. So if that be true then every camera should resemble a Hi8 super cam to avoid being stolen? I reckon some people would use cases such as this for transport within the country, coz it looks damn sexy, and then transfer to 'fecal containers' for long haul trips.

haha, several of the comments here had me laughing.

I want a really cool case that screams "this is expensive," I just won't use that for long trips, but for my own shoots where I'm using the camera, heck yeah, it's tight.

Maybe it could be the same case, have the sexy RED case with a clip on poo smeared/biohazard shell. That way its the same secure case that you can just dress up or down depending on where you are traveling. Imagine gazing at the beat up case coming around the baggage carousel knowing that a sexy design marvel is only a few millimetres under the surface, with no one else any the wiser. :shifty:

I have friends that do this with their wardrobe. It's the GHETTO/GECKO technique. Ghetto for the Saturday night rock show, Gecko (as in Gordon) for the Sunday dinner with the girlfriend's parents.
